It’s new and updated for the realities of the nonprofit technology and free and open source worlds of 2007. The primer, which will show up in just electronic form, also has a very cool implementation of a great open API that we’ll be crowing about soon (my lips are sealed right now.)

There are a number of reasons for my deciding to slowly leave the Macintosh platform: I want to focus more energy and time on free and open source platforms – I might donate what I would have spent on Leopard to some deserving projects. It’s been fun, these 20 years with Macintosh. Be Helpful.

I promise in April I’ll be right on time (oooohh, that could be fun, April Blogtipping on April fools day …) By the way, I think blogtipping is a great idea for our sector, and it’s a great way for me to think more about all of the blogs that I read. I think it’s a great idea, although I’m one day late.

September 17, 2007 There is an interesting discussion happening between Holly Ross, soon to be ED of NTEN, and Allan Benamer , about web statistics, and whether or not nonprofits should be “transparent&# and publish their web statistics.
