Future techs

I was doing light reading on Moore's Law, and stumbled upon Wikipedia's list of emerging technologies. Gotta say, some of those would be pretty cool, but that list is seriously lacking. Still, it's neat seeing a list of cool stuff.

Hurricane Ike

Well, I was out of power for over 30 hours. Houston's been knocked down, but not out.

Useful links.
UH emergency site.
Ready.gov (for Texas)
Do you qualify for FEMA assistance?
Channel 2 has a lot of useful information.
On the CenterPoint website, they have a handy list of maps to tell you which areas are without power. I have a handy link to the most current one, if you ask me for it.
Here's a website with lots of news, divided into part of town (such as Fort Bend). Hurricane Ike Resources from OneStorm. That's a good use of a blog, if you ask me.

Picasa has a cool face tagging feature, now.

And, as an aside, the 10 worst commutes in the US, according to one measure. No one should be surprised that Houston made the list.
