More about that book

As I said a while back, I'm writing a book about nonprofit technology. It will be titled (this is no surprise) "Zen and the Art of Nonprofit Technology". Having been at the #12NTC (Nonprofit Technology Conference) really got me excited about the book. I met people who I would like to talk to about the book, and I got some good ideas about what I might want to delve into. I'm 10,000 words into the book already, although I have a lot of research to do.

Sorry about that

Apparently, you are looking for something. But it's not found. I've been doing lots of things with this site - rearranging, incorporating other websites, doing a Drupal 7 upgrade - so that's no surprise.

Here's a search form. I hope it helps!

Zen and the Art of Getting Your Website Done

I've had my sleeves rolled up for most of the last 15 years in building websites and web-based databases. It's in my blood. I've used most back-end web technologies invented at least once, and I've dived deeply into a number of them over the years. Right now, my focus is on Drupal and websites, and setting up and administering the LAMP/R stack. I know more than most Drupal folks about integrating Drupal and Salesforce.

Is fear a prison?

This image is making its way around facebook, and on first look, I can see why most people feel like it makes sense. But I have been doing a lot of personal work around fear lately, and I have a different perspective.

I think that fear is a good thing. At its core, fear is a set of physiological, psychological, and emotional responses to external threats. It evolved to basically save our lives in the face of lions, tigers and bears (oh, my!) It is, in a sense, a protective adaptation. If we didn't feel fear, and respond to it, we would be in danger of not being careful enough.

A Book!

As I said, I am done. Blogging, that is. But I’m a writer, and the writer in me decided that “Zen and the Art of Nonprofit Technology” is going to be a book. I’ll leave you just with that little tidbit. In April (after my lenten social media fast), and after I relaunch my personal site (I’m moving all of the tech stuff there, and this URL will have stuff for the book,) I’ll fill everyone in with a lot more details. I’m actually really excited about this project, and have begun to line up folks for interviews, and do research, and all sorts of stuff.

Beta Reading

I have now started to give away my work. Since my focus is now on my craft, I decided that I'd open up my full drafts to "beta" readers. Feel free to read and comment here, or send me an email. In return for a comment on the drafts, I'll send you a free paperback book (of any that I've published or will publish soon), if you want it (email me with your snail mail address.) These are works in progress.

Same old, same old

I saw an impressive movie a while back, called "The Economics of Happiness." It's worth seeing - it's a great film, with really important things to say about what kinds of things we need to change in our economic system so that people can be happy, and find meaning in their lives. So I was really glad to hear that they were doing a conference, with all sorts of cool people. I was excited!
