Super typhoon Haiyan is reported having landfall in your country now.

It destroyed MANY cities/provinces here. :(

Good luck to anyone in its path.  :(
unless they have some unforeseeable downside (like they're actually made of cream cheese cunningly disguised as ABS)

Here's hoping all fellow members of GH in Philippines are safe and condolences to those lost in the typhoon. :(

Those in areas with high alert, please be safe and evacuate if needed, leave them keyboards, they can be acquired later.

This typhoon was actually was named the worst in the last 100 years, even than 2x hurricane katrina combined.
:(

Thanks MOZ! AFAIK I know 2 active members, infinity is safe because he lives near me. Another one I haven't contact yet,
though hes not living where Haiyan directly hit.

Reports say 10,000 up feared dead and all living there are suffering from lack of food and water and is in total chaos.

I lived in the Philippines for a couple of years, in and around northern Pan-ay and Negros (right in the path of the storm).  My heart is breaking over this.  Please stay safe and evacuate where necessary, Vietnam.

I think Vietnam should have good preparation for this..  time has been on their side on this one.

a colleague just got back from vietnam, had to spend an extra day there because of the typhoon.
(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

My host mother imparted some wisdom unto me while I was in Japan. I was leaving for school one morning, and she told me something I will never forget.

"Isaac-san, Typhoon is coming, please bring umbrella."

Forgot to mention it before. Though you might need something heftier than an umbrella.

Master of understatement :)
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
