I cannot grasp the devestation and horror that has rained down upon millions of people in Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, and other places. The region will never be quite the same. I wish I had some kind of talent I could use to help rebuild, but alas I am mostly useless and would probably only get somebody hurt. Perhaps after they get the flooding under control I can come help work on roofs or fences or ditches or something that doesn’t necessarily require power tools.
When faced with something like this, I do what I always do — avoid thinking about it. So to that end, here is a link describing an over-engineered computer controlled vibrator. Yeah.
