some how i stumbled onto the US geological earthquake website. its actually a really cool site with a ton of information dating back thousands of years. for example did you know that the worlds deadliest earthquake was in 1556, in china and it killed 830,000 people? the second deadliest was just a few years ago that resulted in the devastating tsunami killing 283,106.

after some further searching, i found that they have an RSS feed of the latest earthquakes from around the world. me being the geek that i am did a little programming and now as you can see to the right are the last 8 quakes with a magnitude of 2.5 or greater. pretty cool, huh?
