Nightmare

Having taken a break from technology (and society) for the holiday means that I missed hearing of the news of the tsunamis that devastated coastal areas in the Indian Ocean on Sunday. Hundreds of thousands of people were killed (and the death toll continues to rise) and hundreds of thousands more have been injured or left without food, water or shelter. Wikipedia has an excellent writeup of the tragedy and the South-East Asia Earthquake and Tsunami blog has many links to organizations that you can donate to in order to help the victims.

[edit] Wikipedia also has a listing of organizations that you can make donations to.
