Win Bono’s self portrait and autograph
U2tour.de are auctioning off a self portrait by Bono, and his autograph, drawn on an A4 sized piece of paper, on E-bay. The money will go to a German relief fund in aid of the victims of the Tsunami.
U2log.com and Whedonesque.com have pledged to donate all proceeds from our Google ads for the month of January to the Dutch Tsunami relief appeal. You can pledge your blog earnings at www.BlogAid.org.uk.
Adam safe in Thailand, Belfast Telegraph reports
Undoubtedly, you’ve all heard of the tsunami that hit parts of Asia. What seems to be less known is that Adam was actually in Thailand at the moment. Belfast Telegraph published an article today, mentioning Adam is safe and has not been in any immediate danger.
Our thoughts are with all those affected.

Happy Christmas!
