A Meme to Call My Own

Here's a meme of my own. A list of links I have on the quick links bar in my browser.

Disaster Preparedness

• Recent Earthquakes – A near-real-time view of seismic activity in my region of meatspace.
• Seattle City Light: Power outages – All the current outages that Seattle City Light knows about. When there's an outage, this page has location of fault, description of work needed to repair, approximate number of customers affected (and the streets bounding the outage!), and the estimated time to repair. Good when you need to rubberneck at the tree on the lines because you don't have any power.
• Metro bus reroutes – Nothing beats missing your math test because you didn't know where your bus's snow route is.
• Real-time 911 Calls – Is there a fire next door? How many fire engines are coming? When was it called in?

Entertainment

• The Daily WTF – Random insanity related to computers.
• User Friendly – Apparently this was one of the first webcomics. It'd be on my friendslist if it offered an RSS feed.
