Technology Serving Haiti
Ever loving technology & how it can be used to help, here’s some interesting technology-enabled resources I’ve stumbled across:

US Leaders Gather to Serve →
A little while ago, I watched a press conference from the White House with President Obama, former President George W. Bush & former President Bill Clinton all together, to talk about their initiative to collectively help provide relief & aid to post-earthquake Haiti. Upon Obama’s request, the prior two presidents agreed to help lead the efforts to raise funds for Haiti & formed the...

When looking to save money or make the most of your money, there’s always things you can do. Here’s some things you might not think of. Re health care, providers are also always open to affordable payment plans. You just have to ask. As my dad always says, “Waste not, want not”!

Obama to Reappoint Bernanke as Fed Chief →
“History is full of examples in which the policy responses to financial crises have been slow and inadequate, often resulting ultimately in greater economic damage and increased fiscal costs,” Mr. Bernanke said in a defense of his policies Friday in Wyoming. “In this episode, by contrast, policymakers in the United States and around the globe responded with speed and force to...

Coffee from Rwanda!
When I was in Rwanda this past February, I wanted to bring back coffee from Rwanda so so badly, but it unfortunately didn’t work out. They have some of the most delicious coffee I’ve ever had. I would drink it without milk or sugar when I was there, & I’m not a black coffee drinker. Well, leave it to Starbucks to bring us coffee from Rwanda! I bought a bag as soon as I found out. It’s...

Iran & Censorship →
During the recent protests of the elections in Iran we were able to see things in real time, from people on the ground through the Internet. On sites like Flickr, you were able to see pictures from people in Iran & even video of people running away from the military there. Now, most of those pictures & video are gone. See here for what is now an almost empty blog entry.
It was so cool to...

Check them out here to read more or see how you...

I would toootally buy my...
