Greg Hughes is right:

"This is the right time to stop what you normally do, get out of your little digital world that you assume is all-defining and all-encompassing (it’s not, really) and come back to reality...Very real people are experiencing very real pain, and you can do your part to help them recover."

Until the end of the month, everything I earn from TopStyle and FeedDemon will be donated to the International Red Cross to help those affected by this disaster.

Disaster Relief News

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…

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.

The Tsunami Tragedy that has affected South Asia, India and Africa has to be the worst disaster of our lifetime. We feel that the Salvation Army has one of the best records in actually delivering the funds to the needy. We have heard all types of advertisements and plea’s for donation from all types of organizations, some are well known but others just seem to come out of nowhere! We have yet to hear much about The Salvation Army, and their ongoing or current efforts so we wanted to try to help them the best way we know how. Not just with our donation but by bringing them some exposure on the Internet! [PRWEB Jan 6, 2005]

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]

Ah! Relief at last!

Ah! Relief at last! 04/13/2004 03:47 PM

I'm happy to report that yeste rday's surgery was a big success. I had five large disk fragments removed from my cervical spine, and when I woke from the procedure I immediately noticed that the pain in my left arm was completely gone (ahhhh!). I won't be doing much computer work for a week or so, but as you can see, I'm well enough the day after the surgery to move around and do some light typing.

Many thanks to all those who wished me well yesterday - I'm grateful for your kindness.

Listen to them, remember the movies, and laugh at them. I don't recommend making prank calls with them, as Stavros the Wonder Chicken discusses, but I gather people do. Also available: Hannibal Lecter, Samuel Jackson, and of course Homer Simpson. Requires Flash "enabling Rich Internet Applications like these". Thanks (I think) to Stavros the Wonder Chicken....

The Relief of Leaving a Job 03/14/2005 05:01 PM
I've noticed a funny thing in the last year or so. The vast majority of the time someone I know leaves a job (or is fired) two trends seem to recur: A sense of relief: "I'm so glad I'm not at that place anymore." A complete loss of "spare" time: "I'm busier now than when I was working full-time!" Maybe everyone should change jobs once or twice a decade? Maybe people should ask themselves a bit more often one question:...

A Gateway to disaster?

A Gateway to disaster? 09/26/2004 12:51 PM
There was a time, once, when I didn’t need a computer. Somehow, a pen, some paper and a word processor were enough to get my words across — and if you had asked me what a gigabyte was, I would have simply walked away, confused. My, how times have changed. When I was entering college, computers were just beginning to hit the mainstream, and I can remember using my friend’s Performa to get those last-minute term papers written. To be honest, I wasn’t particularly impressed … which is not to say I was unimpressed either; I was merely a clueless word-processing neophyte who saw a computer as a logical transition from an electronic typewriter. To be honest, the first time I really noticed a computer was when a friend of mine brought home his brand new Gateway desktop. Between the cow-spotted box and the bright screen (at least as compared to my friend’s Performa), it was my experience with Gateway that convinced me to buy my first computer. Then, three years later, I bought a Mac, and I never looked back. Gateway, however, has, and it's not a <A HREF="http://www.pcmag.com/slideshow/0,2394,l=135602&s=400&a=1356 03,00.asp">pretty sight</A>. So, what happened. In 1997, Gateway was at the top of the charts, but by 1998, they had crashed — in more ways than one: Its stock plummeted, its designs faltered, its creativity suffered, and its outlook turned oh so bleak. Now, if the stock drops a dime, that's 2 percent of the company's worth. It's unfortunate how these things happen to tech stocks. More than any other sector, the tech market’s volatility have kept investors at bay for years, wary of even the slightest fluctuation in earnings or sales. On a good day, it's enough to drive a CEO to drink; add a high-priced Google and a bloated Apple to the mix, and there might be a few job openings in upper management. Seriously, though, these types of booms and busts are most certainly cyclical, and every few years a stock comes along that performs better than the rest, with numbers breaking recent company highs and products that have got everyone talking. Kinda like Apple. Kinda like now. In February 2001, after cutting some 3,000 jobs, icing plans for 60 retail stores and drastically cutting its number of possible PC configuration, Gateway announced that it was "shifting back to primarily selling computers, after pursuing a strategy aimed at selling services and peripherals, so-called 'beyond-the-box' revenue. Executives said Gateway will focus on selling computers first, instead of pushing a combination of products from the outset." Which is to say that Gateway shifted away from a profitable sub-business to refocus its efforts back on its bread and butter. So too, with Apple and iPod. I've written several columns examining Apple and iPod: Some have explored Apple's shift from manufacturing computers; some have suggested making iPod its own brand, but throughout it all, the iPod has carried Apple through supply slumps and sales speed bumps. The truth is, without iPod, Apple’s stock wouldn’t be anywhere near $40. Tech stocks have proven that investors cannot live on computers alone. Of course, if anyone can do it, Apple can. While Gateway still hasn’t found the formula that made it so popular in the mid 90s, Apple continues to push ahead, straddling two markets with dexterity, and (thus far, anyway) succeeding at both. But it remains to be seen whether the iMac will sell. And after nearly 16 months, the Power Mac doesn't have much more juice than it did upon its introduction. Whatever happens with the fourth quarter (which ends Thursday), it seems as though Apple doesn’t have too much to worry about at the moment. But eventually, a decision will need to be made — Gateway chose poorly and has never recovered. Somehow, I think Apple will get this one right.

ZapToPhone are selling "Tsunami Aid Ringtones," the proceeds from which will be donated to UNICEF's tsunami relief efforts. Different levels of donation are available, with each level (up to $9) netting you a different ringtone, all of which are the national anthems of affected countries. Assuming everything is going to UNICEF (and there's nothing to imply it is not), it's a good way to raise some more money to help out.
