Around this time every year, I always watch my favourite movie, It's A Wonderful Life.   This year will be no exception.

Each time I watch IAWL, I find myself reflecting about the joys of my own life and the lives of those around me.   Again, this year will be no exception.

Earlier, I blogged about different ways to donate towards the tsunami relief efforts.   Now, the BBC and several other UK media firms are requesting that the centralised Disasters Emergency Committee website be used for making donations.

I've just tried this website and my contribution went through instantly.   All totalled, it took less than 3 minutes to do.   If you are looking for a fast connection, give DEC a try.   It may do the trick for you...
