NANOG70 tee shirt mystery
So, I've been staring at the NANOG70 tee shirt for a bit now: https://flic.kr/p/VejX5y and I have to admit, I'm a bit stymied. Usually, the tee-shirts are somewhat referential to the location or to a particular event; but this one is leaving me scratching my head. Is it perhaps a shot of the network engineering "Ooops (I broke the network again)" concert tour? Or is there some other cultural reference at play that I'm not aware of? Enquiring minds want to know!(tm). :) Matt

Re: NANOG70 tee shirt mystery
However, a Hyatt Regency hotel in Bellevue is about as far from grunge as one can get. For those not familiar with Bellevue it is roughly similar to Crystal City in Arlington, VA.

Re: Internet connectivity in Ghana
Another good choice for a major international carrier with a pop in Accra would be opentransit/France Telecom.
