Victoria Earthquake Maps

Earthquake hazards mapping for Greater Victoria, including amplification, liquifaction, and other risks, relative to one another for the region. Basically, if I can just make sure I'm at home (in Rockland -- *rock* land, see?) when the big one strikes, I could be alright. Small comfort, though...

Gawker and the Rage of the Creative Underclass -- New York Magazine

References to a "creative underclass" and "roiling Schadenfreude" of course set off bells for anyone familiar with the Victoria BC scene, which has long sustained itself on highly creative (often volatile) people living on substandard wages. True, that might be the only thing Victoria and NYC have in common, but the socially determined psychology suggested by the author's intro makes me want to read this with an eye on our local scene. We have in this city "a huge cheering section for failure," as a local commentator once put it, and maybe Grigoriadis's article will shed light on how that happens.
