Tsunami waves even hit Florida

OrlandoSentinel.com:: "The tsunami that ravaged countries around the Indian Ocean also hit the eastern United States, but only tide gauges noticed.

A tide gauge at Atlantic City, N.J., recorded the passage of a 'train' of waves, just less than 9 inches from crest to trough, 32 hours after the earthquake struck off the west coast of the Indonesian island of Sumatra, Dec. 26, said Alexander B. Rabinovich of the Canadian Institute of Ocean Sciences in Sidney, British Columbia. A gauge at Port Canaveral recorded 13.4-inch waves 24 minutes later.

The tsunami was so powerful that it swept around the world during the next 36 hours, scientists said Thursday. The tsunami ripples would have been imperceptible to Floridians, but were discernible in the data, he said."

Official 1.0 Release of Firefox is out

I downloaded and installed the latest full release of Firefox today and it has several extensions that I really like.

1. Blogthis is back and I've installed it. Simply right click and select Blogthis to Blog a page.

2. ForecastFox takes data from weather.com and publishes it in the lower right hand column. You can decide how many days and nights to show. Simply hover the mouse over one of the data fields for more information. Really cool!

3. FoxyTunes gives you control over music players without leaving the browser. I've got ours set up to run MusicMatch Jukebox player. You still have to load Jukebox first and get it started, but then you can run its controls from withing Firefox. Heh.

Next Project?
