Haiti: Thoughts and How to Help



Haiti's quake reminds us all that just how 'human' and 'vulnerable' we are all in the face of nature -- that we are not really as 'in control' as we wish or think -- it is the great equalizer. Seeing those images of helplessness, especially living in the 'land of plenty', reminds us just how 'removed' we are from the realities of the world around us and how much of the world lives daily. Our egos swell -- now a dose of reality and humility.

How to Help...

When donating, be sure it is only to major relief organizations. The Manhattan Chamber of Commerce has a list of suggested organizations -- click here. If you decide to go there, once again, only sign up with major relief organizations -- the effort needs to be highly structured in order to be effective; make sure you have your shots up-to-date as disease will be rampant; and you should prepare for a great deal of mental distress and have some type of counseling set up to debrief after you have completed your relief mission.

Closing thoughts...

The producers of yathink.tv extend their sincere condolences to all the victims and their families, as well as our own colleagues, friends and families from the United Nations and Doctors Without Borders.

The hack, first publicized by blogger Max Klein, repurposes a Facebook feature that lets people find their friends on Facebook by scanning through e-mail addresses in their contact list.

Bono blasts internet bosses - MSN Music News



THANKS FOR SPEAKING OUT BONO!

U2 frontman Bono has slammed internet service providers for allowing customers to trade rock records online -- branding them "reverse Robin Hoods."

The rocker accuses wealthy web executives of benefiting from the ailing music industry, which loses potential profits whenever albums are illegally downloaded.

And he's warned that the same problem could cripple Hollywood as the popularity of sharing films over the internet increases.
