More tsunami/earthquake-related content...

I watched CBC's coverage of the horrible disaster in Southeast Asia and I have never seen so many dead bodies in a half hour of television news as I did last night. If you haven't done so already, please donate some money to the relief effort. Make sure you are giving money to a reputable organization. Blogger, Benjamin Rosenbaum shares rating of the charities helping out in South East Asia (link via Torontoist). The information is taken from organizations like Charity Navigator and the American Institute of Philantropy which has a good page on how to give wisely and help the victims in Asia, including a list of top charities.

I'm surprised and a little dissapointed that businesses haven't made made more efforts to organize donations. Since it's post-Christmas, I want to see companies like HMV and Chapters encourage shoppers to donate their gift cards/certificates to the relief effort instead of buying more stuff.
