A Little Bit of Shakin' Goin' On

We had an earthquake here less than an hour ago! Not a big one as these things go—most of them this size (3.4) I don't even notice. But I was just sitting here at the computer, leaning on my desk and building up that left elbow callus, when it suddenly felt as if someone had bumped up hard against the desk. That was it!

    Miscellany

    § - Laurel Clark - Laurel Clark Memorial Fund 

    § - Who knew? - Milestones in sandwich history

    § - Warning over war on terror - "What would have been unacceptable on September 10, 2001, is now becoming almost the norm." - "Governments have spent billions to strengthen national security and the 'war on terror'. Yet for millions of people, the real sources of insecurity are corruption, repression, discrimination, extreme poverty and preventable diseases." - "We have to strike the right balance between our civil liberties, our privacy and our expectation that the state will protect us and facilitate our freedom."

    § - I've never particularly wanted a cell phone—until now. - Picture Phone Fun with the Sanyo 8100

    § - Chinese Learn True Scope of SARS From the Internet - "I looked for information online about how people were moving around, and how SARS was being transmitted by rail and by air. I thought that if I got SARS and went home, I might infect people in my hometown, so I decided not to leave."

    § - Water Tap Often Shut to South Africa Poor - "The government promised us that water is a basic right, but now they are telling us our rights are for sale."

    § - Aha! That explains why so many of you were missing earlier!
