I’ve donated three Gmail invitations to Gmail4Troops, an idea that Wil Wheaton has set up. The concept is that since Google offers so much storage space it would be ideal for soldiers who want to exchange photos or video clips with friends and family at home. If you have any free Gmail invitations, please consider passing a few along.
I’m also going to pick up a few titles on Wednesday to send to Operation Comix Relief. It’s a program set up by an Air Force nurse to get people to send comic books to troops who’ve been injured and are recovering in military hospitals. They’ve found that reading comics helps them get back into a childhood mindset that lifts their spirits when they’re dealing with rough stuff.
