I’ve been somewhat silent on the political circus spectrum for a few weeks now, and it’s been difficult for me to explain or even personally identify exactly why. Normally this sort of obvious insanity would be ripe for commentary, and there would be the usual abundance of teeth gnashing and other assorted (and expected?) responses to what is undeniably a clusterfuck of mediocrity and...

After following most of Blip.tv on Tumblr for years, I decided to write about the company’s use of the service. Which is actually a pretty interesting case study for any start-up.

What happens if a Japan-sized quake hits California?
theweekmagazine:
Good question.
A magnitude 7.8 quake in California — Japan’s quake was 30 times more powerful — would kill at least 2,000 people and cause $200 billion in damage, a United States Geological Survey estimates. The good news for California is that there’s only a 4 percent chance of that 8.0 quake hitting in the next...
Being an alarmist.
spiegelman:
I am not a nuclear physicist. Obviously. (I have a tumblr. That alone disqualifies me.) But I cannot shake this feeling that every single person who talks about Japan in the press is downplaying the whole thing. Here in California, everyone is all, “Yeah, no fallout will reach us unless it’s a Chernobyl-sized disaster, and even then the particles will be so dispersed after the 5,000...
