A monthly roundup of our favorite nonprofit tech resources. Read more posts on our blog.
- Can a techie win political office? He can if he keeps running a campaign this smart. Donate enough and you'll get "... a DVD video from [his] mom telling you how wonderful you are, because you are."
- Thank you notes to blood donors attached to giant renderings of red blood cells. All that's missing is Raquel Welch floating past in a miniscule submarine.
- Idealware's new CRM case studies article.
- If you convert your unused laptop into one of those old glass-top Pac-Man machines -- you know, the kind you can set a beer on while you chase Inky, Blinky, Pinky, and Clyde -- be sure to invite us over to play.
- Can a solar farm in the Sahara power all of Europe? Or possibly, the world? Will Africa see any of the revenue?
- The "Lil Green Patch" application on Facebook. Everyone at NTEN's doing it, so it, um, must be cool. Friend us and click your way to a greener world.
- Find your perfect genetic match for only $199! This is destined to show up as a late-night cable infomercial pretty soon. "How'd I meet my wife? Oh, you know -- buccal swab."
- The 13 new experimental features in Gmail: pretty much ensuring it will remain in Beta for the next 37 years. Look for the "Labs" tab under "Settings".
- World Taximeter lets you estimate taxi fares before you arrive in a city. Wonder why they don't include, say, Bamako or Agadez?
- Ever been locked out of the Internet by a faulty DNS server? Yeah, it kinda sucks. OpenDNS could make that a thing of the past.
- Call the Future.org lets you schedule phone calls. You could send reminders to clients (or yourself) or program an escape clause into a blind date. Just don't use it for things "...that common sense tells you not to do."
