After experiencing a slow connection and more than my share of downright outages (how dare my third hour of #litchat be interrupted?), I learned the term “Fail Whale”. It sounded a little cute. The whale held in ropes towed by the twitter birds looks downright darling, and so I got bored tonight and looked him …
