On Japan:
The prospect of losing a family member to a disaster like this is a completely sobering experience. The combination of nerves and impending grief is a horrible feeling that I would never wish on anyone.
Luckily, my cousin and his wife are okay. Even though I have never met them face-to-face, it is a reminder to cherish your family. It is also a call to action to help those in need.
Please donate to the relief effort in Japan, even a small donation can go a long way.
Donations can be made to the Canadian Red Cross here.
Google also has an information centre and person finder here.
Lady Gaga, who as you know is one of my favourite artists, is selling a bracelet for earthquake relief. 100% of the profits will go to Japan and you can buy them here.
I am sending my prayers to Japan and to those who have lost family and friends there.
