Too late, you looked! Bust out that wallet!
No doubt that you're aware of the scale of the disaster resulting from the level 9 earthquake and resulting tsunami that's devastated lives in Thailand, Indonesia, India, Sri Lanka, Maldvives, and other places. As of the latest toll I've seen, over 60000 people are dead. Hundreds of thousands of people are homeless and have had their homes and livelihoods wiped out in a part of the world that wasn't exactly super high on the "crunch all you want, we'll make more" scale. Poor people, and now poorer.
Unicef, Direct Relief International, World Vision, and the Red Cross are doing humanitarian efforts in these areas, but they need help.
Which is where you come in. Got that twenty bucks that grandma gave you? Saved some money by buying that tv on Boxing Day? Excellent! Be a member of civilization and perform your moral obligation.
Both Unicef and World Vision take monetary donations which allow them to meet the food, medical, and shelter needs of those affected. Direct Relief International takes monetary and product donations. The Red Cross is currently only accepting financial donations, but you can donate online or by calling 1-800-HELP-NOW.
And since you don't want to stay bummed out (but you feel better after donating, right? Right?!), check out this car that turns into a dancing robot. I miss the days when I used to watch the Transformers.
If you've ever watched Law and Order (and who hasn't), it's sad to see that Jerry Orbach died on Tuesday. I figured that since I was surprised to find that article tucked away, maybe some of you out there are unaware of it too.
Hmmm, I find myself with nothing else to say. Enjoy it, since it's rare. :P
