Sick Earthquake
Yet another earthquake hit Costa Rica today. I was out to lunch and the whole restaurant started shaking. I saw a guy starting to run outside, so I decided to follow his lead. We stood outside for a few minutes and then eventually went back inside to finish up our meal. It was by far the most severe earthquake I’d ever been through. Here’s a news article about it: Strong earthquake shakes Costa Rica.
Anyway, I got back to the office to see a little damage. Part of our ceiling is falling out, as seen in the following iPhone pic:
Luckily, I don’t know of anyone who was hurt. I do know of at least one friend whose house sustained some damage. I haven’t been back to my place so I’m not sure how it’s doing, but hopefully nothing is broken or cracked.
Costa Rica is crazy!

WOW! From Costa Rica:
The earth is alive.
We also feel a quake. 6.2 bigger than California.
El Salvador and Nicaragua also haved eartquakes today.
In Costa Rica there was some medium material damages,
But it is not to alarm the world.
Most of the damages are around the Poas Volcano.

What do you mean by “where” I work? Like location? Name of the company? What we do?
If so, answer is:
-Escazu, Costa Rica (near San Jose)
-The name of the overarching company wouldn’t mean anything to you, it’s just meaningless letters.
-We run a bunch of poker-related sites. Nothing that’s an actual gaming site though. Some of the sites we run include PokerSourceOnline and PocketFives.
