(Click on the image to view the animation). If I was in Germany this summer, I'd go see this exhibition at Kunsthalle D??sseldorf. For now, will just have to view the animations available on the web like the Keith Haring book above. Here's an excerpt of the exhibition description : A flip book is a book that becomes a cinema for a short space of time; it is a sequence of images that reveals its narrative as you look at it, an object that you have to touch in order to get it to tell its story.

Do you really know your donors? Not just what they give, but who they are? 👥 In this interactive session, we’ll break down how nonprofits can use behavioral indicators (affinity, recency, frequency, and monetary value) to build prospecting segments that go beyond wealth screening and actually align with donor identity.

I am in Louisville, KY, this week, at the annual convention of the National Federation of the Blind. Other Benetech staff are here and at the Las Vegas convention of the American Council of the Blind. The highlight this week was our Bookshare.org user group meeting. We received so much positive feedback about the service: we packed the room with blind people passionate about reading.

I'm trying to get some links assembled in one place for the Berkman Thursday evening bloggers meetings where we will discuss nonprofit blogging. What does the nonprofit blogosphere look like?

Meet Susan. Her blog live blogs the Atom bomb as if it were stuck in the 1940s. She admits to being a little obsessive, but does not own Fat Man and Little Boy shot glasses. What a fantastic concept for a high school history project - does have to be about the bomb, but any point in history.

How can I improve my live blogging technique and better integrate with personal networking?

Meet Marc Canter. I'm not sure if we are related or not. Both our Kanter/Canter last names came from Russia. Marc told me that he owns the domain name canter.com which is devoted to the family history of all Canters, Kanters, Cantors, or Kantors. I learned that the Canters came from Russia but immigrated to England first, not to the US like the Kanters did.

Meet Christian Crumlish spotted in the Advanced Tools Session. He wrote a great nonprofit blog article called nonprofit blogging strategies in 2003. His update would be: nonprofits should pay attention to tags as a way to create community to share information. Blogs should solve a problem, not create them. It has to make an existing workflow easier.

This group of bloghers was having an animated conversation in the hall after lunch. It turns out that they all read each other, but never had a chance to meet face-to-face. That was the biggest buzz in the halls at Blogher. Technorati Tags: blogher. Jade Li from Weblogs, Inc and Lynda Keeler from delight.com. The buzz? Blogging is a women's platform because women love to talk and blogging facilitates talking on and offline.

Ponzi interviewed me! I hope they will find a way to give nonprofits scholarships or reduced pricing to gnomedex.com. There are two conferences that I want to attend next year and gnomedex is one of them - if I can swing it.
