Stanford Law Professor Hank Greely just re-Tweeted footage of the 1906 earthquake here - https://twitter.com/longnow/status/1197572479855804416?s=19 ... (https://twitter.com/HankGreelyLSJU/status/1197790206637703168?s=19).

From the very Long Now folks ...

Could lead to prolonged eElectricity outage today!

Here's another wee earthquake:

Hi Peter, Patti and All,

Newly got a 'bounce back' to your email address, Peter, in emailing all of you this morning from sgkmacleod@gmail.com, so am trying from here where I usually don't get 'bounce backs' from your email (in case of electricity outage emergency, for example, - and you being in central Europe)

Blogged about patching together a before and after the 1906 SF earthquake in Google Street View - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/11/earthquake-after-before-1906-earthquake.html - for learning and safety purposes too ...

Cheers, Scott

curled up with a good book



Hi Ma,

I curled up with a good book, after sitting in meditation this morning (enjoyably!) ...

'Communication Power' by Manuel Castells, it still is - the good book, that is

... and curled up with it under warm covers, departing from another often practiced process of getting to work on my computer (having sent out WUaS Annual Meeting Minutes yesterday - a kinda big job)

... on with writing my next book here . . . "To the Dance of the Pools? ~ Virtually! ... " ... and on the TV screen in my living room, which never shows any TV, but I rather keep viewing on it beautiful images from Google TV, both natural and urban ... and which make me wonder how far we are from Google making a realistic virtual Harbin Hot Springs, so that we all can make virtual Harbin, - and for virtual reality visiting ... (and then perhaps later with ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy! ... https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy ) :)

Love, Scott


Funnyman John Cleese (of Monty Python renown) again - https://twitter.com/JohnCleese/status/1197580125061238785?s=20 :

"With the appallingly low level of honesty in the UK election campaign, I think the only choice for me is to vote for the Greens

Unless David Attenborough decides to stand"

(Attenborough is a bit of an old hippy as well ... and a bit green too ... well, an old green man out of British depths of green-man culture :))

And I just did a switcho-change-o to the Green Party - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/10/nelumbo-nucifera-to-refract-to-make.html - (appreciating too its ecological platform, and that it's more of an international group than other US ones, not that it matters much in California) ...

Love,
Ecosse

David Attenbourgh's profile here -  https://twitter.com/AttenboroughSir - is very funny :) ... speaking of British green-men funnies (no, no not martians:)


('I walked towards this screaming horde of cannibals, I stuck out my hand, and I heard myself say... "fancy a quickly".' ;)

Hi M,

From the WUaS Minutes, and in particular this Google link - https://local.google.com/place?id=13580134555851014887&use=posts&lpsid=792871498435883844 - I 'teleported' into Google Street View to Ridgecrest Road down the lane a bit from where I lived, and 'walked' in Google Street View 6/10ths of a mile almost to the post office, but couldn't turn right past the garden to go down the last tiny stretch due to the I.T. Then I searched in Street View on Canyon PO 94516, and 'teleported' there, and then walked all the way up 6/10 of a mile to where I live ... it's a bit of a mirage, since there aren't quite enough 'tiles' of photos to show me what I want, or what I look for, but cool nevertheless.
A report from journeying from home in Street View with time slider. (And while Street View said it was April 2019 throughout my 'walk,' my old Toyota Prius was in the driveway ... which made me think it was inaccurate, but could well after all be accurate).

You can make these journeys too - https://www.google.com/maps/uv?hl=en&pb=!1s0x808f880dea6bfff9%3A0xbc76546d8b81c2e7!3m1!7e115!4s%2Fmaps%2Fplace%2FWorld%2BUniversity%2B%2526%2BSchool%2F%4037.8345399%2C-122.1633653%2C3a%2C75y%2C228.03h%2C90t%2Fdata%3D*213m4*211e1*213m2*211sTI0JJ49hw2wBQ92y54FeUA*212e0*214m2*213m1*211s0x808f880dea6bfff9%3A0xbc76546d8b81c2e7%3Fsa%3DX!5sWorld%20University%20%26%20School%20-%20Google%20Search!15sCAQ&imagekey=!1e2!2sTI0JJ49hw2wBQ92y54FeUA&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjSpofx6v7lAhWUsZ4KHaW0DTMQpx8wE3oECAsQCw ... and by searching too in Street View on the Canyon Post Office 94516

And it will soon be possible to curl up with your smartphone in a Google cardboard viewer of virtual reality, and perhaps take these journeys without clicking a mousepad or similar ... so potentially with a brain wave headset built in ...  :)

... and maybe even 'walk through' the 1906 San Francisco earthquake as it's happening in Google Street View with TIME SLIDER / Maps / Earth - and for learning purposes as well :) ... or visit realistic virtual Harbin Hot Springs :) . . .   http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg (~ https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook ~)

Tym,

Yemen from Riyahd! Wow... good luck with the deescalation coaxing! Oregon is a favorite band as well ... and the place too especially - in the early '80s and with you!
 . . .

4th Harbin inspired book due out soon, 3rd of poetry! Missing our visit to Harbin -

https://twitter.com/HarbinBook/status/1197557811254681600?s=19 ... with a Tweet about this wee earthquake:
http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/11/arabian-sand-gazelle-minutes-for-annual.html?m=0 ... and many other creative Harbin Tweets! )

Lots of love and hugs, and warmly, Scott
