Quake-Catcher Network

[brunota2003]

Here is a little something I stumbled across that I think is really neat! I figured I would pass it along, as maybe others will find it interesting as well. For the home page:

"The Quake-Catcher Network is a collaborative initiative for developing the world's largest, low-cost strong-motion seismic network by utilizing sensors in and attached to internet-connected computers."

I am currently downloading their educational software, just so I can play around with it. I might actually bring up the software with my sister's elementary school...what better way to get acquainted with earthquakes, than to get to play with your own mini seismometer? And it is cheap!
