This is just a short note to let readers of this blog know about our efforts to make a difference in the lives of children impacted by the Tsunami. We've all seen the footage and images of those waves of destruction and have heard the many appeals for donations. We have been impacted by what we've seen and heard and want to do what we can to make a difference.
As a result - Darren Rowse, the owner and editor of this blog, will be conducting a special 24 hour Blogathon appeal to raise money for the cause. By Blogathon we simply mean that he will be writing one post every 15 minutes on this site for 24 hours. We would ask that you drop by the site and consider making a donation to the cause via credit card through the button you'll see there in the right hand menu. All money raised through donations and sponsorships (you can buy an ad or text link) on that site or any other site in our network over the 24 hours will be donated to a local charity - the Oak Tree Foundation. The blogathon will start at 3am on Thursday (20th Jan 05) - Melbourne Australia time.
Please consider taking a moment to consider a donation today. In the mean time there will be a short break in blogging on this site whilst the appeal takes place. We'll be back with all the normal news and reviews here shortly.
