Hurricane Katrina Blog for Relief Day

This blog, along with the others for which I write (The Farm, Blogware, IndieGameDev) is joining with InstapunditThe Truth Laid Bear and several others in the Hurricane Katrina Blog for Relief Day drive. If you’re reading this blog, the chances are that you’re probably able to spare even the equivalent of your lunch money.

How badly off are people there? According to this blog entry by author Cherie Priest (I got the link from the Neilsen Hayden’s Making Light blog), quite badly off.

There are a number of charities from which to choose (here’s a list from FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency). Choose the one you think appropriate. I’m sending my money to the Canadian Red Cross, who are sending aid and accept tax-deductible donations from Canadians). If you’re in the United States, the American Red Cross will take your donations.
