Origami reincarnation

This design on Uneetee predates Japan's earthquake and tsunami, yet seems so appropriately linked to it. As seen here.

Swell well

The shirt on TeeFury today is about Japan, and was scheduled long before the earthquake and tsunami that caused so much damage last week. It's intended to be a play on Twitter's fail whale - the title of the shirt is Swell Well - but it has an inadvertent amount of meaning.

The tsunami that washed over Japan

I've seen video like this numerous times today, and I still find it fascinating. (At this writing, about 2.4 million people have watched this Associated Press clip alone.)

Earlier this evening, I was talking with Martha about it, about how surreal the images were. I've never seen anything like it, except in the movies, and the image that came to mind first (trite as it sounds) was that it seemed like a special effect from a Harry Potter movie, of blackness sweeping over England.

Unbelievable.

Images of the Japanese earthquake

Like millions, I woke up to news of a massive earthquake in Japan, which was followed by a stunning tsunami that sent warnings across the Pacific.
