Woah! Earthquake hits the DevExpress offices

Hey kids,

A 5.4 earthquake just rocked L.A., with the epicenter only a few blocks away from the office. Cell phones and text messages are not getting through, no doubt due to there being too much demand (everyone is trying to call out at once), but the internet is apparently still working. Skype is apparently your friend during natural disasters.

The cool thing is that we were shooting a video when the earthquake struck, and the camera guy says we have some pretty exciting stuff. As soon as we have it up we'll let you know.

I am okay. I made it out of the building safely before it collapsed. I assume it collapsed, that is. I didn't look back. Instead I ran to the nearest strip club because everyone knows a strip club is the safest place to be in during an earthquake, and because of the free wifi they have here.

Hey Mark, we're just about 6 miles from the epicenter in San Dimas - funny thing to see the building waving at you.  I waved "Hi" back and ran out as fast as I could.

Love to see the video you guys shot during the quake.

I was about 7000 miles from the epicentre but I felt nothing. What kind of earthquake is that supposed to be?

At least I'm happy to see you are a man that can take care of himself.
