On Tuesday I experienced my first major earthquake, maybe not major where I was, but still quite exciting. The bench I was sitting on started vibrating, getting harder. I stood up, and looked at the van and it was rocking back and forth, and when I looked back at the bench, it was twisting! By that time everything was shaking, and then it just quieted down and stopped. Later I turned on the radio (several hours later) and they were doing nothing but talking about the earthquake. For all I know they are still talking about it! Apparently it was a 5.9 magnitude earthquake that caused some minor damage. Luckily none the damage seems to be major.
Anyway, it was very interesting, and I'm glad we don't have very many earthquakes around here.
As you may be able to tell, I have my HAM radio license. Someday I want to build a radio into an ammo can. I am interested in hi fi and live audio, and have done a number of shows. For live sound I have about 2000 watts of amplification, and some very nice horn loaded loudspeakers. I've done 3D computer animation using Blender and have turned out a few half-decent renders and hopefully many to come. I also need to update this header. When? Your guess is as good as mine.
