We Now Interrupt Your Regularly Scheduled Messages

As all of you know, the recent earthquake and tsunami in the Indian Ocean have caused an amazing amount of damage and it’s unfortunately likely that waterborne diseases like cholera and malaria will cause more disaster. Even though reports are coming in more quickly now, photos often say more than words: DigitalGlobe and WaveOfDestruction.org.

So far, much has been donated. Amazon lists some US$6.3 million in donations so far. I’m donating to UNICEF Tsunami Relief and Doctors Without Borders / Médecins Sans Frontières, though the American Red Cross and many other groups also have funds.
