Google is being philanthropic.
I am quite impressed at the different dimensions they are channeling their resources into. They are funding research in Kenya ..so on and so forth. Why not set up funds for supporting natural disasters? We seem to have quite a few of them of late: Tsunami, Katrina and the recent earthquake in Pakistan! Would be really helpful, supportive and right initiative at this point..

Tasking
And clearly, I am a multitasker. Somehow with just one job to do at one time, I feel very incomplete. But one of my management profs once told me, at any point in time you can give 100%. So if you are doing 3 jobs at one time, it is never possible to give 100% to each. You would best get off by giving 100% in all and that is what humans do. Effectively, therefore, you give 30,40,30 or something to that effect to each job.
But here is my take, so what if the percentiles are like that. If I still manage to put my finger in this pie as well as that, I have my mind already clicking for both the issues and in the end, I feel more in control of the situation.
I tried having just a single process to work on..and I felt, well empty and got quickly bored of the process. I strongly believe multitasking keeps my life more interesting to live and gives me more things to think about and work on!

wow
Learning to be a consultant, I am swimming in a sea of abbreviations. I see all my managers, all kinds of managers use STO, SFO, OTRCE,...
anyway, here is my wow (for the non-consultants, this is words of wisdom) for the day:
In a job, never make yourself so indispensible that they can never do without you. It chokes your ability to grow.
Would put up another posting explaining this, if it is not clear right away!
till next time, stay safe :)
