There are over 1,200 users registered to overidon.com. But we get a comment about once every 3 months. So I’ve decided to add a ‘captcha’ security protocol for new user registration and also for password recovery.

The security protocol will require the new user to solve a little picture puzzle in order to register. It’s better than the word puzzle things. But since it takes a few seconds to solve the puzzle, it is only required for new user registration and password recovery. You won’t need to do this in order to login or to leave comments.

Tyler and Harvest reporting LIVE

Harvest and I are reporting live on the developments of the earthquake’s effect on Newport Beach. It is 8:58AM right now, and the Tsunami was supposed to have hit 14 minutes ago. But we both agreed that it might be a better idea to report from the Starbucks about 5 miles inland. So actually we can’t see anything. But that’s a good thing because I don’t like the idea of an 8.9 Earthquake in Japan. When you get to Richter scale numbers of earthquakes over 8.0 anything can happen. One common misconception is that there is linear progression of earthquake intensity from a 1.0 to a 2.0, but that is not the case. Actually the scale numbers go up in magnitudes of 10. So a 2.0 earthquake is actually 10 times stronger than a 1.0 earthquake. So when you start getting to the 8.0 and above, we are talking about extremely powerful Earthquakes.

Ok, I’m at 48% percent battery life on my laptop, and Harvest isn’t allowed inside so I need to keep this report short. I’m hearing at least one helicopter in the area, but I haven’t seen anyone really worried about this possible tsunami. Some reports are saying the waves were only 2 feet tall. So that’s not even up to my belly button, so I’m not too concerned about that. Harvest might be worried but she can dog paddle so she’s a good swimmer.

It’s still to early to say what’s going to happen, so Harvest and I are going to stick around for at least another hour.

Lots of People on the Road lately

Today there were a bunch of pedestrians on the road of Avocado here in Corona del Mar. I was on my way back home from the gym and I noticed there were 2 pairs of teenagers walking up the hill that seemed to be in separate groups. And then a minute or so I saw a couple in their late 30’s walking up the hill. I walk home from the gym all the time, on the weekends and during the week. So this was odd seeing 6 people in such a short frame of time on Avocado. This is especially strange because the construction of the government building near the library makes the walk slightly dusty and not visually appealing. So it isn’t really a scenic walk. The first thing that comes to mind is that with the increased price of gasoline people are considering other options for transportation. And I guess walking is the cheapest form. This is, of course, if you don’t count the extra snacks one needs to eat as a result of the exercise.

Another factor may be the nice weather. It was a cool yet very beautiful morning. And there really was no excuse for people to stay indoors. (unless you were stapled to the floor)

Could this be some freak fluctuation in pedestrian based traffic? We will monitor this situation closely and report back with our findings.
