Amazon/Red Cross Tsunami Relief
filed under: Hey, What's The Big IdeaDo what you can.
UPDATE:
If you're confused about why the badge says "Fully Refundable" (I was) - it's because Amazon is using a different payment system than their usual - it's called "Honor System" and it's built to be used by website owners to collect payments for their personal sites. It gives you a 30 day grace period in which to change your mind and get your money back. I sure hope that doesn't mean it takes 30 days for the Red Cross to actually get the money, because they need it capital-N Now.
If you want to look into other ways to give to the Tsunami relief efforts, check out this clearing house site for charity and relief information [via BoingBoing - also a good resource for keeping tabs on the efforts of the online community who are, as they put it, "rolling up their geek sleeves to assist," which actually kinda chokes me up just thinking about it.]
