Last week, I attended the N-TEN Nonprofit Technology Conference , which is where nonprofit techies get together and talk about how technology can make the best impact on the social sector.

The Dirk Award

Beth's Blog: How Nonprofits Can Use Social Media

The "Dirk Award" now has its own web page ! There is a history of the award, past recipients, and how it all got started: The Dirk Award dates back to the RoundUp meeting in Kansas City, USA in 2000. There, a small group of U.S. circuit riders decided, during a drunken night of debauchery, that it was time for the rider community to celebrate its accomplishments.

Ain't Misbehavin'

Michael Stein's Non-profit Technology Blog

Well, some folks are. Reading my clipping services from Google Alerts the other day, I see an office manager for a YMCA coping a plea bargain for embezzling 25K from her employer. One of the jobs of software like ours is to place a few hurdles in front of people trying tricks like this. These hurdles - barricades that auditors simply refer to as internal controls - involve business procedures that make everything a little harder for everyone. but much harder for the bad guys.

I just completed a short paper on Google Print Accessibility.

I'm in Oxford, at the Skoll World Forum on Social Entrepreneurship. It's been pretty cool for me, here at the Forum. As a Skoll grantee, we got to do some exciting pre-Forum stuff. The first night, we had a dinner in Exeter College. Apparently, Tolkien studied here as an undergraduate. The dining hall looked like a smaller version of the Harry Potter Hogwarts dining hall set!

I always bring back the kids a little something from my work trips (Mommy guilt), but this year to my delight Hedgehog Hosting was distributed furry, little hedgehogs (not real ones).
