I just think this infograpahic of the Chile Earthquake is really cool.  The earthquake was rated an 8.8 on the Moment Magnitude Scale (MMS).  The MMS is the successor to the more commonly known Richter Scale.

Tuesday, November 13th, 2007

I always wondered what happened to that Dell guy who did those commercials years ago.  What was it?
