Karen Huppertz: Person using handicapped parking might surprise you. This is a reminder that judging people by appearances doesn’t help anyone. Why can’t we ask people instead of just assuming things?
Today I had my first earthquake experience. I was on the first floor of a house and the entire house was shaking. It felt like a giant was pushing down on the roof. It was really surreal. I looked at my friend and he looked at me with an incredulous look on our faces.
Then it was over. The news gave us the details. Perhaps it didn’t seem such a big deal to me because I had experienced a ride in Disneyland where the floor simulated an earthquake. That also was fairly gentle but it showed the kind of destruction that could happen with things “breaking” all around us. It was kind of fun then too. When it was over I was like “This is it?” I don’t wish for destruction, but variety is the spice of life is it not?
World record: 109 terabits per second over single optical fibre – Computer C… – StumbleUpon. Kind of cool isn’t it? Brings things like a reality-based virtual world in the realm of possible.
See World – Video – StumbleUpon. Could be useful in a kids geography class. Nicely done!
Amazing that this guy fixes an Apple II. At some point the ability to play games or connect to the Internet would factor into my decision. I suppose that not everyone wants that. Hard to imagine personally. I started on an Apple II and it was wonderful for its time but I didn’t miss it when something better came along. Thanks Apple GS!
