Perpetual quake
Thursday, Sep 28, 2000
If you share my earthquake paranoia fetish, you'll be fascinated by Berkeley's Memento Mori (requires Java). It's a realtime (actually, delayed by about 30 seconds) seismograph, displayed in morbid black and white. It's extremely sensitive. The 500 pixel height of the chart equates to 0.0005mm/s of actual accelleration, so there's always movement, even if it's just from waves hitting the coastline 5 miles away, or storm fronts passing through.

If you don't have java, there's also an animated gif of the last five seconds of activity.

If you like it, please share it.
