Pain and Anguish in New Orleans

I continue to watch in horror of the breadth of the disaster in the southern US. The loss and heartbreak of the families is astounding. My heart and prayers goes out to them.

If you want to keep up to what's happening in New Orleans, there's an excellent record of events posted by technology folks who have stayed behind. Check it out at Survival of New Orleans Blog.

I encourge you to give generously to the very real needs of all those effected. Here's some great organizations that are doing excellent work there. Here are some links were you can make a donation:
