Darfur on your radar

While I continue to smite the computer that won't turn loose of a longer item I mean to post here, perhaps this is a good time for you to try out Second Life. If you drop in at 2pm ET, you can catch Mia Farrow and folks from the US Holocaust Memorial Museum talking about the godawful situation in Darfur. There's a Ron Haviv photo exhibit to view, too -- a virtual version of the "Darfur: Who Will Survive Today?" project projected on the museum's exterior wall back in November. Once you're in SL you can teleport to either The Infinite Mind or Second Life: Camp Darfur, or you could take the easy way out and follow the handy link right here. Second Life Teen folk get a simulcast of the event at Global Kids.
