My name is Bryan Meyers. I have just been evacuated from the Haiti earthquake. One of the things I had with me when the quake started was my cell phone; stuck to its back was the Lumpod LED flashlight that I had received some time ago in a Woot Bag of Crap. I had to walk through the dark streets of Port-au-Prince six miles to get to a secure place. I walked over rubble, bodies (dead and injured), downed wires, back alleys. The flashlight lit my way very reliably. As I said in my journal, THANK YOU, BAG OF CRAP!

If you're interested, you can read my journal and view some pictures at [available at woot blog]

I'd rather have a good light that I know I could rely on. However, even a candle is better than nothing

considering the brutal seizure of a 9/11 survivors light when he lit it up in a crowd of chaotic people I'm not sure whether the situation over there warrants the use of a better light...
