I have mentioned before the [tremor](https://blog.oclc.org/lorcand/archives/001495.html?ref=lorcandempsey.net) an [event](https://blog.oclc.org/lorcand/archives/001404.html?ref=lorcandempsey.net) can sometimes cause in your communications fabric, as it pops up among your Facebook friends, in your RSS aggregator, and so on.
