Help the Powers

On Sun­day, while Shawn Pow­ers and his fam­ily were at church their house burned down. While his fam­ily was safe; they lost all their pets to the fire. Shawn works for as the Tech­nol­ogy Direc­tor for a school dis­trict in Michi­gan, side­lines as an Asso­ciate Edi­tor at Linux Jour­nal and is a pretty funny guy. The kind folks at Linux Jour­nal have started a ChipIn fund to help Shawn and his fam­ily get back on their feet. If you’ve got some spare change in your Pay­Pal account; please think about drop­ping some of it there. Thanks!
