Is Jota alright? I don't even know where in Spain he lives.
I actually had to dig around on CNN to find the article, while it was on right on the company intranet homepage (saying that the people at our Spanish facilities are alright).

yeah, that's kinda the diametral opposite part of Spain... it was pretty nasty, for a low intensity earthquake
First, it happened very very close to the surface, i think just one mile below, so the sismic wave amplitude didn't have much time to dampen.
Second, while that area is under sismic-proof building regulation, that only applied to buildings made after the 70s... and there were still many old houses.
Thanks for the thought, though ^^

This looks promising. Early days yet, as they've only tested it on simians with SIV, but if it works...

Can you imagine half your town just being...gone?
A fire in a northern Alberta town decimated the town. I'm not sure if that article says it, but I heard on the radio that people had literally minutes to flee their houses. Yikes, what a way to put into practice "What would you save in a fire?"

I'm mostly posting this to brag about my friend who was selected to help with this project. Her dig week starts tomorrow and I'm so ridiculously proud of her, since this is freaking awesome.

What is it with you Canadians and your hatred of geese?! I still stop and take pictures of the cuties and their babies all the time. I just have ceased sharing them on pweb out of respect.

The Canada geese are a protected species in Canada. You're not allowed to kill or hurt them, even accidentally. And the little buggers know it. They're "uppity". No respect for the food chain, because they know they're protected from it. They're vicious and arrogant and poop everywhere.
The little ones are cute, I admit.

Jack Layton, leader of the opposition, dead at 61.
This is a huge deal in Canada, and for me. He changed Canadian politics completely. I can't believe he's gone.

I really had no idea he was so sick. It was a huge shock to me. I'm really sad he's gone - he accomplished so much, and he touched a lot of young voters.
And he left one heck of a classy goodbye letter to the country.

I can't imagine many other politicians would get a tribute like this:

So, Steve Jobs is dead.

Re: The New News Thread
I wonder how many people heard about it on an Apple device. My brother texted me on my iPhone.
I'm no Apple fanboy, but under Jobs, they really did change the way technology affects our lives. I'm sure that progress will continue without him, but it's sad that he won't be here to see more of it.

*raises hand* The news was sent from an iPhone and received on an iPod. I got the e-mail from my company's CEO during dinner (around 6:45 Central).I wonder how many people heard about it on an Apple device. My brother texted me on my iPhone.

Outside of the iPod, I don't own any other apple product. And I only use the iPod for music. And I still received it from an apple product, my friend Sarah's iPhone.

Re: The New News Thread
How do I feel about that? A person died, so not happy, but he has had no direct impact or influence on my life (that I know of), so I'm not exactly feeling sad about it either. It resonates as a significant pop culture moment more than anything but I'm sorry for his friends and family.

With that said, I don't suddenly feel overcome with sadness on a personal level knowing that.(that I know of)
