Hi all, I'm the "new guy" here at LevelTen. I've been added to the team here as a site builder/developer and am very excited to get started.

As a bit of an introduction, I'm a bit of a wanderer and have lived over 8 years of my life in Asia. I most recently lived in Indonesia for 4 years. Three of those I taught HS computers at an International School and the last I was doing tsunami relief after the big tsunami of 2004.

"Did you feel the earthquake last night?"

Google's latest search feature displays the most recent earthquakes using data from earthquake.usgs.gov. Searching for "earthquakes" will show you the magnitude, location, time, and a link to the satellite map of where the earthquake took place. If you want to get more specific, type in "earthquakes" followed by the country, city, state or zip code.

Your search for last night's quake just got easier!

Everyone has heard of the prophetic predictions of Nostradamus (e.g., fall of the twin towers), and maybe of even ancients making prophecies as it relates to technology. Although these prophecies are intriguing, a topic more interesting to me is the flipside, technology being able to predict the future.

With the horror caused by Hurricane Katrina and the impending doom of Hurricane Rita headed towards Texas, everyone is asking "why weren't we properly prepared for Katrina" and "how will we not repeat these same mistakes with Rita." While these are important questions that need to be asked, do they really need to be asked right now? According to Lieutenant General Russel Honore - No! the answers to the how's and why's can definitely wait.
