...OK?" asks one of the guys...
...Mobile phone service is patchy. It's hard for those in Houston to reach each other, or even call outside the storm area. My brother Matt, 34, has resorted to texting, which still seems to be working OK. All day, I've relayed messages to and from relatives in Houston. At first, they had no fixed idea of where to go. Flights out of the city's two airports had been cancelled by this morning, which meant they couldn't get here as planned. I spent the morning trying to find hotel rooms anywhere in the state for them...
...house with the camera, for the most part getting a reasonable connection to our Wi-Fi network (a router located in my home office).

The buttons on the unit make very little sense, even to someone who's been around his fair share of electronic devices (ahem). There's four-button directional pad, but there's no "OK" button in the middle. It had Play/Pause and Stop, but it didn't have any clearly marked volume buttons nor anything clearly marked for fast-forwarding and rewinding. (To find these controls you have to push buttons at random, which can lead to unpleasant situations.) The AV 700's remote...
