Hey Tom (and any other FoRKers with comm problems due to the quake)-- Drop
me a note, I'll give anyone you like a jingle to let 'em know you're ok.
I'm *very* glad that KnowNow moved out of the building over by SafeCo Field!
The walls and stairwells were full of cracks and crack-meters from the pile
driving of SafeCo Field construction, and I always figured that if there were
an earthquake the building would lose badly.
Ya know, both the tiny startups I've worked for got real funding and real
offices
just as I was leaving. Hmm. Maybe I'm a good luck charm. You have to catch
the
fey critter AND let it go to get your wishes/luck in most of the legends. :-)

We had to "call" the telecon on account of earthquake -- it must have lasted at least 15 seconds, with a couple of aftershocks. Really, really weird to be talking with them during this. Lots of "Get under the desk" and "Whoa!" comments.
