How Much to Give? Whatever you can, but give.
We've been 'absent' for a few days for a number of reasons. I hadn't planned to post during the holidays in the first place, then the horrific events in Asia made it difficult to think about anything else. And on a petty and personal note, our publisher's workstation was attacked simultaneously by spyware and viruses (don't let the techno-blind surf on your primary work computer) and it's taken a 15 hour effort to recover data and restore an operating system. I promise to outline my suggestions for keeping your computer virus and spyware free later this week.
In the meantime, when you think about donating money to the relief effort in Asia (and money to save lives is what is desperately needed) you can be guided by this chart from IndiaTogether.org, which can help you calculate how much money you could donate, in any currency, to give the equivalent to a day's wages.
To those reading this, I hope you are happy and well and spent the holiday season with people you love.
