There is some good news. Our armed forces have gotten there and are coordinating the release of supplies, shoring up the efforts of the religious institutions who were the first to help, but are stretched thin. The 82nd Airborne got there a couple days ago with cargo planes, and the Coast Guard is there, along with a hospital ship from the Red Cross. The generous aid from around the world is able to start finding its way to people, but the news is still devastating to watch on TV, and there are people in need on the outskirts of the cities too. Please keep praying for Haiti and ask your friends to try and give something too.
Hello all! This blog will be sort of steampunky, sort of rambling, sometimes relating to coming things or the cutting edge of science, and usually combined in strange and unusual ways. A Penny Farthing is a type of bicycle by the way, the type with one big giant wheel in the front, which seem insane until you understand the technology at the time and the physics involved, and it really is a good way to make a bicycle. My blog is kind of like that. (p.s. I really want a penny farthing)

Haiti
This isn't steampunk, but it's important. Surely everyone knows about the earthquakes in Haiti. Brass Goggles had a great idea and put a link to Doctors Without Borders on their site. Another place to donate is the Red Cross. I only have three or four readers, but if everyone donates just a little bit, it will help.
