THIS PROGRAMMING NOTE: To echo something Linda noted on her own blog today, we, too, are watching with great concern the devastating events in Japan. We will continue to blog as normally as we can, because that's the thing at which we are allegedly good, and like you we will balance our use of the Internet between the serious and the supplemental as events warrant.
A list of charities active in relief efforts is here, and this thread is open for whatever's on your mind.
