Signs of hope in the midst of disaster
I don't know about all of you, but the blame game happening in the MSM surrounding Hurricane Katrina is getting old. And so when I saw this story, I wanted to pass it along.
Steve, over at Micro Persuasion has this post (Steve always has great posts about technology and those ideas and companies leading the way) about how Wal-Mart has not only started blogging, but is blogging about real-life hurricane heroes who have stopped their daily lives to help in the aftermath of Katrina.

We could talk about Wal-Mart and their feeble attempt at being a servant-leader organization, but I've had about enough of the negativity the past two weeks. Not to mention that whatever your feelings are about Wal-Mart as an organization, they were one of the very first into Nola with supplies and their checkbook. I'm excited to read some of their stories...I hope more of them are like this one. Might be a bit too much "tooting their own horn" for some, but with the way they responded after the hurricane I don't mind.
