Fund

Spymac sets up Asian Disaster Relief
Fund 12/29/2004 02:21 PM
Monetary donations are now being accepted for Spymac’s Asian Disaster Relief Fund set up today to help the International Red Cross meet the needs of 11 countries affected by the devastating earthquake which struck the area two days ago. Spymac is an international community and many members have been affected by the tragedy. We extend our condolences to members in that region. Donations to the Spymac relief fund can be made using PayPal. Members making donations of $25 or more will receive ad-free status on their membership for a two-week period. Donations will be accepted until January 16, 2005. On that day, Spymac will celebrate its third birthday by turning the fund over to the Red Cross. Upon request, official tax-deductible receipts will be issued by the Red Cross. Food, medical supplies and water purification systems have started trickling into the devastated areas, as the United Nations warned this could be the biggest relief effort ever known. The body count has risen to more than 60,000 dead in 11 countries, with thousands still missing and more than a million left homeless. The UN estimates that nearly a third of the dead are children. The International Red Cross says more than one million people have been displaced and many have had to resort to looting to survive.

Disaster Relief News 01/06/2005 09:25 AM
I just heard on the news another reason to give as much as you can to the tsunami relief effort. Congress is well on its way to approving legislation to allow all money donated to a recognized charity by January 31st to be 100% deductible from LAST YEAR’S tax bill. It’s not the reason to donate, but since it may not end up costing you anything out of your pocket, it could well be easier…

Xeni Jardin: John Schwartz wrote an insightful piece for the New York Times this week about the role blogs play in covering and responding to the tsunami disaster. I was interviewed for the piece, but the people who really have something interesting and valuable to say are the ones over there, on the ground -- and the folks rolling up their geek sleeves to assist.

From relaying first-person accounts (like Sanjay/Morquendi's SMS reports in Sri Lanka), to kick-starting relief efforts (tsunamihelp.blogspot.com, and the Post-Tsunami Reconnect project), to questioning media coverage ( Ethan Zuckerman's post about Myanmar), there's a lot going on here The amateur-shot image shown here ran in the NYT story. Snip:

"At sumankumar.com, Nanda Kishore, a contributor, offered photos and commentary from Chennai, India: 'Some drenched till their hips, some till their chest, some all over and some of them were so drenched that they had already stopped breathing. Men and women, old and young, all were running for lives. It was a horrible site to see. The relief workers could not attend to all the dead and all the alive. The dead were dropped and the half alive were carried to safety.' His postings included a photo of a body on a sidewalk with a buffalo walking by. 'It now seems prophetic," he wrote, "for according to the Hindu mythology, Lord Yama (the god of death) rides on a buffalo.'"

Fox News did a segment on this subject yesterday. I spoke with anchor Jon Scott about some of the blogosphere reports we've been pointing to from BoingBoing in recent days. Here are video clips of the Fox News segment: Real, Windows (Many thanks, Mike Outmesguine, for TiVoing and kindly hosting.)

There have been a number of related stories out in the past 24 hours in the Wall Street Journal (Link, sub required), Libération (France) (Link), the Inquirer (UK) (Link), and AP (Link) . (Thanks to BB readers including Jean-Luc for pointers).

In the aftermath of the tsunamis that devastated Asia in late December 2004, observers pointed out that lack of official, credible information gave victims and governments in the area little prior warning of the impending disaster. Although still in the developmental stages, a partnership of the Global Disaster Information Network (GDIN) and the Organsation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) is creating an information system that may significantly reduce the impact of future natural and manmade disasters. Native American Pueblo and Navajo Nations in Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Colorado are providing pilot sites for the GDIN system. [PRWEB Jan 5, 2005]

Experiences of the day

Experiences of the day 05/31/2004 05:20 PM
Bugger. Missed Misu. But, on the other hand, I had my first official riding lesson today, and got even a couple of compliments during the day. One from the riding instructor ("You sit really well"), and one from a colleague at work:

"Everything is always complex with you."

That kinda surprised me. I don't know. Is it?

Today, I came home, completely drenched (it rained throughout the entire lesson). I hung my wet clothes to dry, slipped into some comfortable clothes, pulled on some thick woollen socks, and made myself a couple of sandwiches (from wonderful, fresh rye bread) and a large cup of cocoa. Then I curled on the sofa and watched two episodes from the fourth season of Babylon 5 from a freshly opened package.

I'm not that complex. Really.

Simon Brown: "If you've not seen AppleScript, it's a cross between a 3rd generation language and english. There's a fairly good language guide on the Apple website, although it's no tutorial. The script editor itself works well and I particularly like the way it auto-indents when you save or compile."

I spent about 20 minutes poking around on eBay motors today, mostly because I'm trying to understand the market for vehicles capable of towing a glider trailer--think used pickup truck or a 6-8 year old SUV (Nissan Pathfinder, Toyota 4Runner, etc). I must say, I'm underwhelmed. The pickings are so much better over in the autos section of craigslist. Anyone out there ever bought a car via eBay Motors? I'm curious to hear about it. I really don't think I'd...
