i'm always thinking, its how I know I'm alive
Adventurous, open minded yet tempered with just a tad bit of a conservative approach. Story telling, sharing, learning from and connecting with - it's what we as a society need to do if we are to live, love and survive.
Ash Wednesday - what to give up? How about carbon?
Saw this on one of my tweet feeds from Twilight Earth, a group who's
motto is: "Protect our Environment by Going Green - Environmental
Issues, Green World Wide News and Shared Discussion"
I'm one of those convenient Catholics who barely goes to church once a
week but when it comes to Lent forget it. I don't believe in giving
something up but rather doing somethime more, give back in some way I
don't normally give. However after reading the "10 Best ways to give
up Carbon" I my have to rethink that approach. The 10 ways were
simple yet effective.

I may have a hard time convincing my crew to give up paper towels but
I had no idea how much water was used to make a Latte. Holy Coffee
bean . . . 50 Gallons! Check out this video.

Here's the deal, I was approached to be a contributing author for a chapter in the upcoming book "P2PFundraising: Nonprofit Internet Management Strategies, Tools and Trade Secrets" actually I am co-writing the chapter with my friend and tech peer Tim Kobosko from USNA. The chapter is currently titled: "Path to Managing Your Organization Using Online Tools”
What I like about contributing to this chapter is how I have been part of this process from almost day one as we made the move from Web 1.0 to the 2.x world we know today. So hopefully the experiences will be of value to those who struggle with the implementation and acceptance of these very standard tools into the culture of non profits. What I don't like is the title of the chapter.
So besides having to come up with an outline I was thinking a new title may be useful - that and about 20 pages of content, pictures and graphs. Help, comments, tips, prayer - all would be appreciated!
Who talked me into this?
