Crisis Commons--Very Cool

One of Skip's buddies from college is working as a volunteer on this project called Crisis Commons that is bringing together information technology people to work on projects to help bring relief to the people of Haiti. They gather at Crisis Camps and develop programs and applications that facilitate better communication, distribution and medical resources to the people of Haiti.

Our friend is working on this Pict-O-Speak app that will use Droids and I-Phones to share pictures for people who speak different languages to communicate with one another. Dave has logged hours coding (something he doesn't do much of anymore) to get this up and running for aid workers and others to use in Haiti. Very cool.
