A monthly roundup of our favorite nonprofit tech resources. Read more posts on our blog.
  1. David Pogue. The NYT technology columnist rocked the NTC. Here he is singing two songs during his plenary. Afterward, he sat down for an interview with Holly.
  2. Utterz.com features bad grammar and a bizarre cow theme, but a cool service: audio blogging from your mobile phone. We used it at the NTC.
  3. The National World War 2 Museum in New Orleans. They even sponsor WWII-themed trips to Europe.
  4. LOLSeals. The Humane Society's new campaign gets everything right.
  5. The NOLA Food Map. Great -- and greatly useful -- Google Maps mash-up to help residents locate food. Must. not. make. mashed. potatoes. joke. Oh, damn.
  6. Emeril's New Orleans may be a name restaurant, but the food was innovative and well executed, and the service, impeccable: our table of 8 was served by 4 waiters, who set our dinners down simultaneously. Don't order the dessert sampler unless you bring the New Orleans Saints.
  7. Loopt. It lets you map your friends' current locations. But might it not be more useful if you could map your enemies?
  8. NOLA YURP. And not just because it's fun to say.
