Jonathan Zittrain gives a Ted Talk on the internet as a random act of kindness. But as we approach the holiday season, and holiday depression, netizens can bring kindness to real life.

Buzzfeed has a helpful list if you're looking for ideas. Random Acts may help you finance some kindness. The Random Acts of Kindness Foundation has resources for educators and individuals. One act of kindness can mean a lot.

In honor of Matthew Jackson.

Also, the word link up there should be list instead, if a mod felt like fixing that.

Personally, I'm going to try the skipping the holidays altogether thing that is not recommended in the article on holiday depression. I'll report back later on how it goes.

I've participated for the last couple of years and this year, but as a dedicated skipper for decades, I support and cheer on skippers everywhere this 2015 holiday season. Skipping is hugely relaxing and great. And you don't have to scrooge your skip, you can skip in an excellent way and provide a haven and refuge for your fellow skippers.
