“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” -Steve Jobs

As you can see, there’s now a whole bunch of old photos dated 2010 and much older. I just imported my old Blogger site ; WordPress is amazing for this! Now if only I could do the same to import my Tumblr site, I’d be a happy camper! Any tips are welcome!

[Update] Thanks to the excellent tumblr2wp I was able to merge my Tumblr blog to this one too. Years of stuff, all in one place. Neat.

Link: How the National Zoo Animals Reacted to the Earthquake

Interesting press release about the animals’ reactions just before last week’s earthquake that shook northeastern america.

• The earthquake hit the Great Ape House and Think Tank Exhibit during afternoon feeding time.
• About five to ten seconds before the quake, many of the apes, including Kyle (an orangutan) and Kojo (a Western lowland gorilla), abandoned their food and climbed to the top of the tree-like structure in the exhibit.
• About three seconds before the quake, Mandara (a gorilla) let out a shriek and collected her baby, Kibibi, and moved to the top of the tree structure as well.
• Iris (an orangutan) began “belch vocalizing”—an unhappy/upset noise normally reserved for extreme irritation—before the quake and continued this vocalization following the quake.

About time somebody set the stories straight, there’s way too much imagination and speculation in those heretic science-fiction books!
