Houstonist Flickr Photo of the Day - Am I Helping Humanity?

The shot from flickr user and Houstonist photo contributor Laanba.

It's a good question and an interesting find. Are you helping humanity? Do hearts over the i's help humanity somehow? If you are interested in helping humanity (at least locally) check out the following sites:

Volunteer Houston - All Houston volunteering, all the time.

BBB Houston Charity Report - Check before you give. Most charities in Houston do an excellent job of putting most of their resources into the community... some don't.

Netsquared - If you've got some mad crazy website making skills, you should join up with Netsquared, a group dedicated to providing Web 2.0 tools to non-profits in the area.

If you've got a camera, and you love Houston, consider joining Houston's best photographers in the Houstonist Flickr Photo Group. Also, check out the Houston Photobloggers for some more great photography.
