Just wait until USArray comes on line...massive new acquisitions always 
seem to create a surplus of "old" but really good instruments that make 
their way out into the market.

As for myself, work on a Santa Monica station have fallen on hard 
times...my apt manager who was friendly to the idea passed away due to 
a heart attack, and the new manager is more dubious. But it may come to 
fruition. We'll see.

On an interesting note, a couple friends of mine are working on a joint 
seismic-computer science project for some new type of networking idea 
and a massive instrumentation deployment. The initial idea was to 
carpet UCLA campus, plus really wire up a single building in the med 
center for site and building response type things, although the 
deployment plan may be more flexible. The building response project was 
to look for non-linear signals that herald permanent deformation of the 
building. The networking idea had more stand alone stations that 
communicated with their neighbors in some fashion that made data 
transfer and handling more efficient. They were also doing something 
like this for biological sensors...pretty interesting stuff.

Cheers!
John
