- Robert Scoble
Thanks Robert. As mentioned, I usually don't share this info, prefer doing it quietly behind the scenes, but if it'd encourage others to act the same, then we can all be satisfied.
- Nir Ben Yona
It's a great thing your doing. I sometimes think there should be more opportunities to do something like this. I can't afford to give a whole laptop but i there was a way i could combine with other people to do something on this scale in an anoynmous way i'd be very interested. I sometimes feel that i'm not making a huge difference when you give to these big charities or fund raising efforts. Something like this you can see the direct link between what you've given and the help it brings to someone.
- Jamie Vidamour
@Jamie you're right, seeing the smile on their faces when getting it, is something I can cherish for the rest of my life. You'd be surprised to learn how many people crave to assist. Most of them just look for initiatives to join. Here's a tip: Since I have direct connection to local journalists, I save a spot for every business owner who joins the fund raise. They donate their part and get their name on the paper and the kids get the gift they want. See, no need to be rich to make things happen.
- Nir Ben Yona
We have a scheme in guernsey call the tree of joy (not sure if its a worldwide thing or just local) where by every year one of the charities finds out what a number of underpriviledged kids would like for christmas, then you can take one of the present tags and buy that present which then gets delivered on christmas eve. Knowing that you've made christmas special for someone is a great feeling

One rainy night eight years ago, in Watertown, Massachusetts, a man was taking his dog for a walk. On the curb, in front of a neighbor’s house, he spotted a pile of trash: old mattresses, cardboard boxes, a few broken lamps. Amidst the garbage he caught sight of a battered suitcase. He bent down, turned the case on its side and popped the clasps. He was surprised to discover that the suitcase was full of black-and-white photographs. He was even more astonished by their subject matter: devastated buildings, twisted girders, broken bridges — snapshots from an annihilated city. He quickly closed the case and made his way back home. At the kitchen table, he looked through the photographs again and confirmed what he had suspected. He was looking at something he had never seen before: the effects of the first use of the Atomic bomb. The man was looking at Hiroshima. In a dispassionate and scientific style, the seven hundred and one photographs inside the suitcase catalogued a city seared by a new form of warfare
- Cee Bee
Makes me sad. Why anyone would throw that away though... I'm glad the man saved it.
- Yolanda
Wonder how many suitcases went unsaved.
- Yuvi
I've posted the one photo out of the lot which is creepy as crap. The article says there's 701 photos. Where are they all? Higher res too please!

Nice, but... since Obama won there seems to be a bigger focus on the racial difference than before. Or is that just me?
- TobiasVerhoog.com
What I just noticed is he probably has the second shortest hair after Ike (bald) and John Quincy Adams (#6 for those who don't know).
- Andrew Leyden
i'm confused Tobias, not sure what you mena. Clearly yes, race has played a big role in this election.
- Zee.
Obama is the first president without grey hair? Really?
- Peter
Tobias, voting for or against Obama based on race would have been to vote ignoring all the other other issues at hand so it wasn't a focal point. Now that he's won we're free to focus on the historical moment of having our first minority President and what that means and says about us as a country.
- David Knight
@David Knight I think you nailed it. The focus on race that you see right now shouldn't be classed as "since Obama won" but "at the moment of his winning." We have crossed a boundary. We should take note. Now that we've crossed, our attention to Obama's race will dissipate. On the other hand, the fact of his race, name, and lineage will loom large in foreign policy throughout his presidency.
- Michael Markman
@gregory lent. Hmm. I see humans. Don't you?

- Zee.

- fbrunel
Nice but why only Obama's hair is black? :)
- Ahmet Alp Balkan
@gregory. It isn't just coincidence that all 44 are male, and 43 are white. If we want to follow the path to ensuring that differences are not barriers, we can't deny that historically they have been. Following that path requires us to cross some boundaries into new territory. This graphic marks one such boundary. I believe it puts us closer to your wish of "human not color"
- Michael Markman
We've come far, FAR, in what amounts to only a couple generations. With not only the memory, but the living memory, still so fresh in so many, acknowledging and even celebrating each step down that road to unity is to pay respect to those did and gave so much to bring us this far.
- Michael W. May
I completely agree with your last statement Gregory so why have you bought it up in the first place? (in your first comment)
- Zee.
Celebration and Acknowledgment, even Discussion surrounding a Black Man as US President shouldn't be expunged, ignored, or stifled based on the We're All Created Equal argument. That sounds fairly bananas to me.
- Marko Bon
There's been some focus on race last night and today, but it will probably die down, just as the focus on gender died down within a few days of Pelosi's elevation to Speaker of the House, or O'Connor's elevation to the Supreme Court. Pelosi and O'Connor were eventually evaluated based upon the issues, and Obama will be (and has been) evaluated based on the same.
- Ontario Emperor
i'd have to agree - lets agree on blocking together eh? :)
- Zee.
aaah...that feels better.

before, it was a talking point. Today it's history, something that sends a huge message to the rest of the world. South Africa did it before us, now we're in the 20th century. 20th.
