               HARRISBURG, PA, March 16, 2011 – Computer and consumer electronics distributor D&H Distributing announces it will donate 1% of its US and Canadian sales from products by Japanese-based vendors this Thursday and Friday (March 17 to 18) to The American Red Cross for relief efforts associated with the March 11 tsunami and earthquake.  The amount of this donation is estimated to reach tens of thousands of dollars, based on average sales.  Vendors include Brother, Buffalo, Canon, Casio, Epson, Fuji, JVC, Konica, Nikon, Nintendo, Olympus, Optoma, Panasonic, Ricoh, Sharp, Sony, Toshiba, Yamaha and many more. 

D&H has maintained close, often decades-long relationships with a roster of manufacturers headquartered in Japan, which has made both the executives and the staff very sensitive to the challenges faced by that country in the wake of these events.  D&H personnel also plan to devote the efforts of “D&H Cares,” the company’s employee-run charity foundation, to Japanese relief funds as a supplement to the distributor’s corporate contribution.

 "We are dedicated to seeing the success of Japan as it rebuilds its homes and facilities.  Their contribution to the high-tech industries has been immeasurable,” said Dan Schwab, co-president at D&H Distributing. 

Individuals who would like to donate to the American Red Cross can do so here.

In wake of the tragic 8.9 magnitude earthquake that resulted in a massive tsunami that struck Japan on Friday, Google has launched their People Finder application . The Google Crisis Response page is for those looking for someone or those with information about someone.

Simply stated on their page, you can click either of the two options. The “enormously powerful “tsunami as quoted by Prime Minister Naoto Kan has demolished buildings, gutted their power, and ravaged their transportation with even a train missing. The earthquake toppled vehicles off of bridges and into the death trap waters below. The impetuous waves flowed mercilessly over farmland, sweeping away boats, trailers, and misplacing houses onto highways as if it was a broom brushing the debris away, or a toddler playing with their toys.

This is a tragic act of Mother Nature, devastating the coasts of Japan. The death toll is at 1,000 with 88,000 missing. SMB Nation’s heart goes out to all those involved. We hope that Google’s People Finder page will help the affected find their loved ones. You never know what each day will bring you, live in the moment and reach for the impossible.

Early in the AM at SMB Nation’s inaugural show “MVP Nation”, Harry Brelsford, Industry expert and renowned geek, announced SMB Nation Spring 2011.


At the moment of the announcement, the air was still, the crowd was silent, and then bam, uproar breaks out. Okay, maybe it wasn’t that dramatic, but there was definitely electricity in the air (no, not the wifi) and the attendees were clamoring with excitement. SMB Nation Spring 2011 will be taking place in Canada this year. You can say goodbye to New Jersey, and hello Toronto.

What makes this SMB Nation Spring conference different from the others? Well, this year SMB Nation has brought together a special, hand picked committee to choose the Agenda. At SMB Nation Spring 2011 you can expect only Grade A Beef content. Yeah, it’s going to be that good.


You know the feeling when you sink your teeth into a thick, medium rare, filet mignon and your taste buds go wild? Multiply that enamour by at least ten, then replace your taste buds with brain cells. Are you getting the gist yet? If you are maybe you’re beginning to recognize that in this year of 2011, SMB Nation is adding a little extra spice to their special sauce. SMB Nation still has the same look and feel, but has an evolving, sweet yet spicy after taste.

BGE? Say whaaat? Build Grow Expand will be the theme of SMB Nation Spring 2011, and when you attend your light bulbs will no longer need a generator, they will simply be flicked “ON”. I don’t know about you but I like my content just like my steak, juicy. Like after any good meal, you are left happy and satisfied. Similar to the feeling you receive after attending an SMB Nation event. Build Grow Expand, it’s time to eat.
