We are concerned for our friends and listeners getting hit by Hurricane Ida. If anyone in tech wants to help, our friends over at the ITDRC (Internet Technology Disaster Resource Center) are already en route and deploying to provide communications support to assist all the relief groups as well as allow those affected to contact their families. ITDRC is nonprofit, and is an incredible group of people from the technology community using our skills to give back. Learn more, volunteer, and donate at ITDRC.org
