A Sad Technical Commentary Hewey is three years old. He only has an 18 G hard drive. My Creative Nomad Zen MP3 player has a 20 G hard drive. My MP3 player has a bigger hard drive than my laptop. How sad is that? 9:46:08 PM    comment []

A Micro Quake? Well, I was sitting here engaged in the very exciting task of defragging Hewey's hard drive when my chair started shaking. Now, the Hewster's hard drive is in pretty bad shape. But I doubt that even all those gnarled up bytes falling out of the drive would have caused my chair to start whumping up against the wall. I'll have to check the Tsunami Warning Center site in the next few minutes for an update. And the answer is: a 5.4 Magnitude Quake, 40 miles north of Valdez and 120 miles northeast of Anchorage. It was only 3 miles deep - in the realm of earthquakedom, that is extremely shallow. 6:28:29 PM    comment []
