F it
been nice discussing earthquakes with you all, but I'm not putting up with this chit.
See you later.

I hate the internet.

Oh, I guess I should talk shop first so as not to be accused of off topic words.

I saw an earthquake in Northern Nevada about 3.3M. I'm going to wait and see if there's a bunch in Idaho. I know I'm repeating my point about Nevada/Idaho. Yellowstone is not on my radar much because everything about watching it has been changed.

I hate change. Mexico is being a very active Mexico and now there's warnings about POPO being ready to blow up big time. I got tired of waiting for that two years ago. Moving on...

Never say I didn't warn you allllllll

I like earthquakes. Because they often make humanity sit up and realize that were not all that big and even if we think we're safe, you can't know what you didn't know until the event is over. San Francisco leaned that one of an earthquakes most destruction forces can be causing fires. Cities weren't safe if your gas lines broke and your houses were mostly wood.

Japan learned that the walls weren't high enough for the water. I've learned how the world has failed Haiti.

History has shown that earthquakes have cut down civilizations life stalks of wheat in the field. Ask the Minoans about their glory just before the fall. (technically it was a volcano, but there were giant earthquakes and a tsunami as well)


And now, for the effin' internet. I hate you. I hate ads. I hate trolls. And I hate waste.

Just before Katrina hit New Orleans, I decided I wanted to run away from civilization. I rejected my computer and even old fashioned machines. I want to make my own birch bark canoe. I wanted to learn ways in order to restore them.

My plan went horribly wrong and I ended up here, on some digital corner of the universe. There is no escape from this planet, nor from the civilized beings who dominate here. I have submitted the regime because I have a child. No other reason. Since I am not alone in making anything in this world, then I can't take it away from this world.

My only thought was to teach my child to navigate this digital world. This brave new world.

Because if I don't, he'll be eaten. So, I thought, how to we deal with advertising. He actually fixed the problem by adding an extension that changes all ads into a famous internet meme. Then the ads are funny. I find myself laughing at the ads, and actually looking at the boxes that I normally ignore. It seems there is a battle.

I freaking battle. Let's remember something really important. The internet was designed by the army. Think about it. The internet is war. And someone, I've recruited again into the system. F.


I came here, because I had something to say. I've said it. I've told you all where the moon came from and still my story is not share widely. Despite my best efforts, and despite learning more about the world than I ever thought possible.

I think my study of the internet is over. I often find myself asking why the heck am I writing here anyway. My son said I must have written a couple novels worth of posts. This is not my only persona. I used to write as myself. But somehow, I lost myself along way. I'm more myself today, but lesser for having to battle so long and so begrudgingly.

I always had to find reasons to care. Reasons to hope.

The internet is not what you think it is.

I told my son yesterday, that if there was a giant magnetic pulse, it could fry all our computers. I asked him, "then, what would you do?"

He can't imagine a world with computers. He's never lived in a world without computers. When my generation dies off, they won't be anyone to remember a time without computers.


In 1986, I got a Tandy computer. It had a cool green colour and you could print out things that you typed. It was amazing. Then the internet came along and some of the computers got faster. I eventually got frustrated with the computer and swore it off until it could speed up and deliver all the things promised.

Now the digital world is fast and in part of every modern convenience, yet, I must find that it has failed miserably at living up to it's potential. Instead of teaching the world to sing in perfect harmony, we get trolled and rick rolled...



I tried listening to the whole song all the way through and couldn't.

However, I have found one cultural phenomenon that I simply love.

The troll song.




Now I'll go turn my add blocker back on.... and keep it on

Watching the aftershocks and comments on this site www.ustream.tv...

Hi!
Glad you posted this one.
I don't know where everybody is this morning!
I was just going to try & do it.

Busy 24 hours!
The 6.0 in Vanuatu just dropped off as I was looking at the list.
5.9 Philippines
5.7 Russia
5.5 Chili

Now 4 aftershocks in Japan:
3-4.8's & a 5.4.

The thing that caught my eye was the orange
shake map VIII & DYFI VIII.
Depth still at 10.0 km
Sure hope it's deeper than that.

A list of the quakes in the area for the date. Obviously, one of those 6.4's is a duplicate. And for some reason, GT translates the characters in the date sections (far left) to future months. Funny stuff, they can see future quakes XD **Edit: On the page itself when translated, for previous dates, not today.



Edit Again: Added a new 6.4 as per the JMA page. Watched it roll in on the live stream, too.
Live stream: www.ustream.tv...

Here is the site I use.

I have never had that come up in another language.

looks like a 6.6 just hit ... from the ustream link

6.4 according to JMA. Added to the running list above direct from the linked page. And the live stream has just been a constant bombardment of aftershocks for them since the first one.

Just watching live coverage. Buildings have collapsed, fires and people trapped.

No doubt. According to USGS & EMSC, that last 6 was barely 2km deep

There is also a swarm going on in the US Virgin Islands.

32 Quakes today.

BBC has an article up now.

Earthquake topples houses in southern Japan

No problems reported at their nuclear power plants.

Japan is getting rocked with some aftershocks now. Feels like something big is building.
