About 10 minutes ago (approximately 5:35 EDT), I felt a light earthquake, which was preceded by an even weaker foreshock. I could feel the entire house move slightly, and heard some rumbling and creaking. One of my brothers called soon after, stating he felt the same thing. Based on this, I estimate it to be about 4.0 on the Richter magnitude scale. I live in Columbus, Indiana.

Looks like Summit Brands’ label designer needs to brush up on grammar skills.

Remember, it just isn’t Christmas without some Christmas Rap. Four years and running.

The 8 Bits of Christmas (backup link) by The 8bitpeoples also gets my hearty recommendation.

And with this post I bump off the front page the old post about belatedly celebrating the second anniversary of this blog. Shows you how often I put up anything that passes for content.

Since all I seem to be doing is posting my YouTube submissions lately, here’s another one: The 2007 Minneapolis Aquatennial fireworks display. Or at least the last five minutes of it.

The rather late fireworks that some people are burning up outside reminded me to write a post. I recorded this video on July 3.

But I did anyway.

Another wardriving map. If I wasn’t so bored, I wouldn’t be doing this. Click to see the rest of this post and you’ll, well, see it.

Also, I guess it’s 2007 now. Ringing in the new year with excitement, as always.
