This is today’s blog of the day.
The Internet in Asia

This article was very interesting to me. I enjoy reading things that have a different perspective than the usual media.
Here is the url for the article, tell me what you think about it.

Okay well at least now I know where he is. He got called back to his post in NC, then they sent him back to Afghanistan. Now he’s in Korea thanks to the tsunami. I was finna lose my mind…up in here, up in here.

Here are some great ideas for bloggers that get writer’s block. Gee I guess that would be everyone…

Tsunami Defined
By Joe Upsurge

Tsunami is a Japanese term that describes a large seismically generated sea wave which is capable of considerable destruction in certain coastal areas, especially where underwater earthquakes occur.

In Japanese, “Tsunami” means “Harbor Wave” or “Wave In The Harbor” It is now internationally accepted as the term that defines a “Seismic Seawave.”

In South America, the term “Maremoto” is frequently used to describe a Tsunami.

Tsunami is pronounced: (sue-NAM-ee)

Tsunami’s have been incorrectly referred to as “tidal waves.” A tidal wave is a non-technical term for a shallow water wave caused by the gravitational interactions between the Sun, Moon, and Earth (high water is the crest of a tidal wave and low water is the trough).

Tsunami’s are formed by a displacement of water. This can come from the slippage of the boundaries between two tectonic plates, volcanic eruption, under-water earthquake, or even landslides.

Out in the open ocean, Tsunami’s might only be 1 meter in height, but as it reaches the shore in shallow water, it can rise to heights of 15-30 meters or more. Think about how a normal wave comes into a shore: the water moves away from the shore and then comes crashing back. This movement “heightens” the destruction power of a Tsunami.

Tsunami’s can also reach speeds ranging from 400 to 500+ miles per hour… about the same speed as a jet airliner.

The enormous energy that a Tsunami can possess allows it to travel across entire oceans. They often proceed as an ordinary gravity wave… having a 15 to 60 minute intervals.

From a destruction perspective, Tsunami’s have cost not hundreds of thousands, but millions of human lives over the recorded history of Earth.

I organize a meetup group for those in the Atlanta area interested in helping with the relief efforts. Go to http://tsunami.meetup.com/16/ for more information.

Yes this feature is back. I’ve been busy catching up on things and diving into my music. I’m pretty much using audioblogger to record my songs, but that’s for another post. Anyway, if you’re into politics, check out this blog.

I have all but given up on getting a decent night’s sleep. Maybe I will one day when all of my systems are in place and I can hire an assistant. That would be nice…Well I still have to exercise. Good night all.

I had every intention of doing an audio post or putting an article on here today, but I was just too wiped out. I went to sleep at 2 am this morning and then I turned around and woke up at 5am. I’m going to take a nap and maybe I’ll feel better.
