...where, indeed?

Clues, people...follow the clues.

Haiti Needs Help. (But You Knew That.)

I loaded up Google Earth and, using the overlay they made available featuring satellite images taken since the earthquake in Port-au-Prince, waited for it to display...

...and found myself staring into hell. You're not supposed to see the sides of multi-story buildings from space, but you could see these because they'd fallen over. Everywhere. Some buildings have survived, but you wonder how precarious they might be now, especially with the occasional aftershock coming. Cars are scattered on the streets, and people with nowhere else to be are in those streets, trying to reassemble a life.

I've taken a tip from Mark Evanier, a writer who runs a very good entertainment blog, and have decided to link up to the Operation USA charity, which appears to run on a shoestring budget to ensure that the money you donate gets to where you donated it to. (Evanier goes into some detail on how he arrived at that conclusion here.) Click on the image below to go there...

Do it.
