on Thu 27 Jan 2005 05:15 PM EST
 In the right-hand column of this blog, you'll find a list of recommended links. Unfortunately, one of the limitations of the platform I'm using is that it's difficult to create sub-categories and annotations in that column. This article is intended to rectify that... more » Wednesday, January 26

The Endangered Gizmos List
by
Deborah Elizabeth Finn
on Mon 24 Jan 2005 02:17 PM EST
 I'm grateful to the blog "Boing Boing" for calling attention to the Endangered Gizmos list of the Electronic Frontier Foundation. I gather that it's too late for the now-extinct "DVD X-Copy," but there's still time to organize a torchlight parade, hunger strike, or email campaign in support of preserving the "D/A and A/D Converters."

Did you check TechSoup?
by
Deborah Elizabeth Finn
on Tue 18 Jan 2005 04:37 PM EST
 I worry a lot about exasperated and over-extended nonprofit workers, who often have to take on technology problems in addition to their more-than-full-time jobs. They are not even accidental techies; they are recusant techies. more » Monday, January 17

A simple (and free!) solution: eWrapper
by
Deborah Elizabeth Finn
on Thu 13 Jan 2005 12:09 AM EST
Colleagues and friends constantly send me fascinating items by email, which I of course feel compelled to post to this blog or to one or more email distribution lists.

by
Deborah Elizabeth Finn
on Wed 12 Jan 2005 12:11 AM EST
 Although not all political organizations are incorporated as nonprofits, I'm convinced that all nonprofit professionals should be watching the former's online strategies. During the 2004 presidential election here in the USA, we saw political groups making a great leap toward successful use of the internet in fundraising, in raising public awareness of issues, and in organizing action. These are successes to which every nonprofit or philanthropic organization can aspire! more » Tuesday, January 11

by
Deborah Elizabeth Finn
on Tue 11 Jan 2005 02:10 PM EST
It's fairly easy to find trainings for computer network administrators, but very difficult to find introductions to computer networks for nonprofit executives who don't have the time or inclination to dig deep into the topic.
For this reason, Laurie Geronimo, executive director of the innovative nonprofit technology assistance provider Secure Sponsorship, encouraged me to develop this guide. more » |
