Geek / Geology Alert – New Blog Link.
Just want to give a should-out to a geology-minded blogger who, strangely, found me, via my “temblor” post. The blog is Dr. Geophisics’ Weblog. My friend Preston Ward should get a kick out of this.

Geek Allert – Happy Birthday To…
Fedora Linux! Note, if you’re not a geek and know nothing about Linux, this post will be gibberish.
