The death toll from the brush fires in Australia is 181, but you can help. The power of blogging and social networking are not to be denied! Sitepoint, an Australian web designcompany, is offering a huge sale on their excellent pdf books. You can buy five books for the price of one and 100% of the proceeds will go to benefit the brush fire victims.
I just learned that this Sitepoint sale has raised over $135,000 USD. Although this number surpasses their initial funding goals, more bodies and destruction are expected to be discovered as fire crews are finally able to access out the burned out area. The sale goes through 2/13/09 so there is still time to take advantage of this opportunity. The loss of home and livelihood has been staggering and the Australian brush victims are in desperate need of assistance now. If you are blogger, you can help spread the word.
Here are some books that I think may be of particular interest to you:
