Earthquakes Canada detected a 6.1 quake today north of the north tip of Vancouver Island.

They post automatic "live" updates on Twitter, too, as @CANADAquakes ... and are currently identifying aftershocks in Port Hardy. ... no expectations of tsunamis, though.

I hope you guys aren't too shaken-up.

re: The Secret

I dare not say anything else bad about the movie/book. After making that first post, a computer and video camera were stolen from my car, mere hours later. I'm concerned it's not a coincidence. The Secret is everywhere!!!!!

This cartoon is making it's way around (click it, you'll like it.) It's art inspired by the style of Bill Watterson. The words are from a 1990 commencement address he gave. Here's more on that address. It's well worth reading the whole address, but here's the gist of it:

To invent your own life's meaning is not easy, but it's still allowed, and I think you'll be happier for the trouble.

What looks like the most suspenseful movie of the year?
This one.


Gravity.

That is awesome. That's better than Bill O'Reilly talking about how no one understands the tides. How far did you get in the movie?

"The Secret" is on Netflix. Just saying. Only took a few minutes to get to this golden quote:

"Now, if you don't understand it, it doesn't mean you should reject it. You don't understand electricity, probably. First of all, no one even knows what electricity is, and yet you enjoy the benefits of it. Do you know how it works? I don't know how it works. But I do know this: You can cook a man's dinner with electricity... and you can also cook the man."

I absolutely want to try this
