  8. Re:Didn't feel anything in Juneau on Magnitude 7.5 Earthquake Off Alaskan Coast · · Score: 3, Informative

    We felt it in Sitka. Long rumbling and shaking. No damage done except to the egos of the emergency planners.

    It was a very interesting test of the emergency broadcast system. The sirens went off. The reverse 911 worked. Lots of people heeded the warnings and got in their cars to go to higher ground.

    Two small problems. There is basically a single main road that parallels the shore. It's two lanes wide. Hard to evacuate 3000 people on a little bitty two lane road. Then there was the little problem of ice. The idea is to go to higher ground - when the roads entering the higher grounds are iced up such that you need chains you have an oopsy situation. Fortunately, we were prepared to handle the six inch high wave.

    I think the debrief today should be kinda amusing. Lesson learned: ALWAYS TEST YOUR BACKUPS!

    Apple is going to have a very tough year in 2013. They blew their wad last year for product updates and except for minor product revisions will not offer anything interesting until at least the fall if Apple TV is not actually a myth. In the meantime news like this will only scare investors at a time when there had already been a loss in faith with Apple's business strategy.

    Ha! Tim Cooked promised us a new Mac Pro. I'll bet there is a good thousand of us waiting for the upgrade!

    Shut up and learn from Germany - where gas costs 7 bucks a gallon, but there are almost no accidents on the roads (did I mention they don't have a speed limit?), the cars are BMW, Mercedes, Porsche and Audi, not Ford and whatever shitty brand GM uses, where cars are better, more economic, faster and in general more efficient than american crap made to last one year and be replaced..

    Huh, why is there so much Chinese construction crap in the yards these days (I use the term 'crap' on purpose')? They have long figured out how to make export only items and size them, finish them, etc. specifically for the market.
