A few weeks ago, we were ragging on Tokyopop CEO Stu Levy for insensitive tweeting, and business mistakes, but now he’s in Sendai, helping with relief efforts, tweeting about it:
Visited one of the shelters tonite. No power, just a few straw candles. 2 days ago each child had only one potato chip to eat….Sleeping in truck’s cab tonite. Under a cracked highway, trying to keep supplies protected from the rain. 7:30 AM delivery to the shelter…Lean On Me plays on the radio as the snow falls down here in Sendai. Too many people dead. Too many people homeless.
Give the guy a hand for doing the right thing here. [Via ICv2]
