Tsunami Relief

Chris Jones (email) at 11:32 PM

There's really not much that I can add to the volumes of writing elsewhere about the disaster in south-east Asia. A year ago at this time, I was in Thailand and Singapore. Unlike Kim Burchett, whose blog I recommend for its ruminations on programming language design (e.g. Dataflow Languages, Put it in the syntax), we didn't visit the southwestern part of Thailand with its beaches.

What I can urge you to do, however, is to donate to a major charity. I chose Médecins Sans Frontières, but the federal government has a list of several reputable charities to which donations will be matched on a one-to-one basis by the feds through January 11th. My understanding is that these donations will also be considered part of the 2004 tax year.

Do your part.
