Hurricane Relief
I am sure all of you are are cognizant of the disaster unfolding in New Orleans and elsewhere in Louisiana and Mississipi. If you happen to live or work in North America and havent done so already, I would urge you to take a few minutes of your online time out and donate to a charity that is working on the relief efforts. Both Washington Post and New York Times have comprehensive lists of charities working on disaster relief.
I am not a huge fan of Red Cross. But in situations like these, they are the best situated to offer help.
