Quaking

A unique problem has shown itself on my current project. The project is in California and keeping story cards on the wall during earthquakes has been a bit of a challenge. Stickies won’t stay; large, medium, small… it doesn’t matter, they end up on the ground.

As such, we’ve resorted to mack tack goop — large globs of goop — to keep cards on the wall. And after last night’s 5.7-magnitude quake, it seems to be working…

From Wikipedia, a bit of Norse earthquake mythology:

“In Norse mythology, earthquakes were explained as the violent struggling of the god Loki. When Loki, god of mischief and strife, murdered Baldr, god of beauty and light, he was punished by being bound in a cave with a poisonous serpent placed above his head dripping venom. Loki’s wife Sigyn stood by him with a bowl to catch the poison, but whenever she had to empty the bowl the poison would drip on Loki’s face, forcing him to jerk his head away and thrash against his bonds, causing the earth to tremble.”
