Some changes
Recent Changes
That rotating image widget on the right column is gone. I moved all my pictures to Pictures page. I got the javascript lightbox effect working on that page. All my venting/commenting on Burma’s current affairs now goes to Burma page.รย I put up the RSS widget to Word Spy. I just thought it’s interesting to find out about things like allergy bullying.
Future Plan
I will do something along the lines of a Portfolio page with password protection but I need to get permission from my manager first.
Cyclone damage in Burma
As you may have already heard, the damage is far more extensive than they originally estimated. 10,000 is quite far off from 350. I still haven’t got contact with my brother – which worries me but I think he should be okay.
For now, if you want to help, please donate to ICRC and designate it to Myanmar on the drop down list.
I look up a way to send money as soon as I saw the 10,000 number and realized ‘oh crap. this is really bad. I must do something.’ As far as I know, this is the most direct route to get food/water/medicine to the people who are affected since ICRC is already there and helping out. If you know of a more effective way to help, please let me know.
Edit: the number is climbing as more info is available. sigh. ๐
I put up the pictures I took when I went home last time on the picture slide show widget on the right to remind everyone of what a beautiful country it is.
