more on new orleans... links

If you have livejournal, bookmark their LJ page: this is a livejournal blog straight from a building in the middle of new orleans. they have been watching over the city and blogging about flooding, looting, disaster and military relief or lack thereof, and so on, for days. not only do they post constant updates and photos, but they have links to various mirrors a camera on the roof of their building that shows the smoking city live. Wired News has a sharply critical article about something i alluded to in previous posts, namely, the warnings from various scientific communities that something like this was likely to happen: They Knew What to Expect. some good donation sites: obviously there is the red cross but another good one is the extremely cost-efficient (and homegrown, for my fellow pennsylvanians) mennonite disaster service.
