Love & Haiti

We're at it again.

Project: Overflow is proud to present “Love and Haiti”, an evening of music, dance, and fashion, which will take place at 7 PM on Sunday, May 9th, 2010, at the Galapagos Art Space in DUMBO, Brooklyn. This awareness- and fund-raising event, spearheaded by community workers and featuring local artists, offers a gesture of solidarity with the Haitian people.

By building a coalition with Haitians and Haitian Americans, Project: Overflow seeks to benefit those afflicted by the 2010 earthquakes and to advocate alongside them for widespread social and economic justice in their nation.

All funds made through ticket sales will directly benefit United Initiatives for Peace, which will hold a Youth Enrichment Camp this summer “to offer Haiti’s youth a positive, educational, healthy, and fun environment where confidence, creativity, and hope can be unleashed.”

Gmail merges duplicate accounts

I like simple. Especially when it deals with contact management.

Gmail finds and merges duplicate contacts. Brilliant.

Here's how:

1. Open up Gmail.

2. Click on the "Contacts" link in the left navigation.

3. Your "Contacts" frame will open.

4. To the right of the screen, you'll find a button that says "Find duplicates".

5. Click on "Find duplicates". Notice all duplicates listed.

6. Select/Unselect contacts of choice. Then click "Merge".

That's it! Another great addition from the Gmail team.
