Young Artists for Haiti

Time has passed since the earthquake in Haiti. Not much, but enough that it has fallen off the news. Despite that there are still people who need a lot of help there.

Young Artists for Haiti is a group of talented Canadian Musicians who have re-recorded K'naan's single "Waving Flag" (best know as the 2010 World Cup theme) with all proceeds from the sale of the single going to three charities working on the ground in Haiti.

Here is their facebook page.

Here is the single on CBC.

Here is the single on You Tube.

Here is their donation page.

If you can afford to help, please do.

And please spread the word.

Small Steps Forward

My website (www.erikbuchanan.ca) has been a constant annoyance to me because I simply haven't had the time to upgrade it, nor the money to hire someone else to do it (I have high hopes for the lottery this weekend, but let's be serious).

Now, however, I have taken the first step. I have changed my website from a shell site (hosted as www.web.ca/~erikbuchanan but with my domain name) to a true website, with actual page names and everything.

The next step is recreating it so that it is more content management friendly. I want to have an easily updateable event calendar, my blog, and other nice web 2.0 features there without having to do all that HTML that I'm just not that good at.

So, one small step forward for tonight. And if there are any cheap, good website designers out there who can show me how to build this thing using Drupal, I'd appreciate the help.

Anyone? Anyone?
