Samantha and I are right in tune with Mark Cuban on this.

Start by cancelling your inauguration parties and festivities.

Could there be anything more confusing and shocking than to read that our country was offering $35mm in aid
to the areas affected by the Tsunamis, but that the cost of inauguration parties would be about $40mm ?

Does anyone else think that this is wrong ?

1. I find DNS one of those things on the Internet specifically designed to drive sane people mad.
2. The true DNS gurus do very little to share their knowledge.
3. Are there any truly legible blogs on DNS, and most notably BIND?

Yehaa! MSFT Word and PDF versions are now up!

A Case for Slavery

Ummmm, when’s the next convoy headed north?

Help America.

Scoble points us all to the Amazon homepage.

Give what you can.

Spent the last couple of hours looking over my CV and examining all the things that I have done over the last six and a half years. I have gone from a pretty mundane tech-support position that was not challenging me in Victoria, BC, to Silicon Valley during the boom, and landing a job in the 128 Corridor in Massachusetts.

The CBC has a great list of which countries are giving and how much.

Given the size and scope of the crisis, the response from the world community seems particularly small. Individual contributions will likely grow this number, but give what you can.

Especially in the US. I would like to see private donations in the US vastly exceed government contributions to send a message to the Bush Cabal — the United States has not forgotten the rest of the world.

UPDATE

It seems that the US has decided to kick in another $20M. I gave my $100 to the Canadian Red Cross this afternoon.
