    Scared the shit out of me, but otherwise all is good :) Thanks for asking. I was in my office with Sandy having some conversation about boobs or something silly like that, and all of a sudden pieces of the ceiling started falling down on us....lol. Our office has some damage to the ceiling, but other than that all is good. I don't think anything bad in the houses (I hope). Some of our programmers are from areas that were hit a little harder, so keep your fingers crossed everything's ok for them.

    Thanks a lot for the post, we really appreciate it.

    I took this picture of the ceiling damage. It was definitely a scary quake for a few minutes there.

    And there have been a bunch of aftershocks every since. Each one has been small, but it's definitely scary to feel the ground moving even if it's only a little.

    Thanks for the post...
