  Data loggers, did you observe that 12-31-2008 was one second longer than
ususal? See

http://tf.nist.gov/pubs/bulletin/leapsecond.htm

  I keep my timing manually aligned with WWVB. My clocks self-adjusted their
timing backward one second to accomodate the leap-second. I do not know how
Larry's GPS timing accommodated the change.

  Not to says that it all matters much. I have never seen microseisms as
strong as they have been so far this winter. I cannot see anything but major
events, of which there have not been any lately. I live on Long Island, NY,
on the Atlantic coast, and am exposed to both ocean microseisms and the
shorter period land microseisms from weather fronts. I did pick up a rare
local event on 12/27/2008, an M3.4 from southeastern Pennsylvania. See
081227.050500.rem.psn.

  Happy New Year to all,

Bob
