A monthly roundup of our favorite nonprofit tech resources. Read more posts on our blog.
- Campaign Monitor's "Guide to CSS Support in E-mail Clients". Brilliant! If NTEN Connect looks bad on your screen, we'd like to blame the engineers who coded your e-mail client, please.
- The Mobile Marketing Association has a code of conduct, which helps prevent mobile junk messages. Is it too late to hit the reset button on e-mail?
- What exactly would one charge with a solar power bra?
- A much cooler use of solar cells is Australia's solar updraft tower, capable of powering 200,000 homes, emission free. Oh, and Portugal's building a wave farm.
- NTEN's book club. Read a book, discuss it with other nptechies, "meet" the author.
- Cubans can now buy cell phones. Trips to the mall to find custom Che Guevara skins can't be far behind.
- mGive: Affordable text-to-give campaigns for nonprofits. That's it. No joke.
- e.Politics "Online Politics 101" is a great read! Sample: "Let’s change the world! But how? Robot/kung fu army? Too expensive. Zombies? Too messy. Online politics? A wise choice."
- Wired thinks Google's Android platform will free the wireless web. Maybe it will make robot armies more affordable, too.
- We've plugged them before, but the Center for Biological Diversity's RareEarthtones project still rocks harder than Dave Grohl after 5 Red Bulls. Recently added ringtones: alligator, bald eagle, and baby emperor penguin.
- Another reason to visit Japan: the C-shirt. See a shirt you like, scan its code with your mobile, remix it Creative Commons style, have it shipped to your door.
