Tina Kells, a citizen reporter from Port Quoquitlam, Canada, recently requested (via a Flickr direct message) to use some of our Big House Library pics on Flickr in an online news story she wrote about the Great Shake Out 2008 -- an earthquake drill day in Southern California. Click here to read her story.  While Casa's earthquake drill was not parto f the Great Shake Out per se, it's cool to see our photos being used in a related context. I've been asked before to contribute photos to NowPublic  articles, and I have consented because I love contributing to the collaborative nature of their "Crowd Powered Media." So, thanks, Tina, for including Casa in the Great Shake Out 2008! And remember, in the event of an earthquake, "Drop! Cover! Hold!" =)
