New York Red Cross Needs Tech Help
zosa writes: "The New York American Red Cross is in dire need of technology equipment and services.

Your help in acquiring these resources would be greatly appreciated." You can read more over at this page. Finally something that the average Slashdot reader can do to help.
My girlfriend works for Continental, so I fly for pretty much free, and ordinarily I'd jump at the chance. However, there seems to be a bit of a transportation problem these days. :-P
What's your damage, Heather?
this British News Site is reporting both that the body of a terrorist and a stewardess have been found, and that the Taleban is holding Osama bin Laden under house arrest in Afghanistan.
I'm not sure if this is accurate or not, since I haven't seen either of these things mentioned on any U.S. news channels today, and this is the first I've heard of these things.

engineers and Microsoft-certified consultants.
