Earthquake

Today, late evening, I was taking a quick nap (lucky heh?). I woke up suddenly as my bed jolted and I felt as if my bedroom walls were closing in on me. For a second, I thought it was dream, but after few seconds, came to my senses and realized that it was an earthquake. Holyshit.

My second earthquake experience in US. Today's earthquake started at 8:00 pm with 5.6 magnitude and had its epiecenter at Alum Rock, California (15 miles from my place). It lasted for about 6-9 seconds.

Me and my roommate immediately rushed out of my apartment. We saw lot of people outside running. I tried calling some of my friends, but the network was either busy or completely cut-off. Sigh ;)

Anyways, there is nothing to worry about, no reported damage so far in the nearby area, other than few things falling off from the shelves. We will know the full damage tomorrow morning.

One of a kind experience! Another thing that you have to deal with living in the bay area. ;)

Technology Entertainment Design

I just saw "The Future We Will Create: Inside the World of TED" movie. Excellent! An insight into TED (Technology Entertainment Design), an annual event where an eclectic group of brilliant minds exchange bold and exciting ideas for the future.

I was amazed and thrilled to see so many useful ideas that would really help a lot of people around the globe. I'm ready to make a small change from my part!
