Things We Like (October 2008)

A monthly roundup of our favorite (zombie-related) nonprofit tech resources. Read more posts on our blog.
- Zombie Harmony: For all your zombie dating needs.
- Wait, there's an election going on? Don't know how we missed that. Good thing the Twitter Vote Report didn't: tweet your voting experience to help others avoid problems.
- If you watch Colbert, you've probably already been to FiveThirtyEight, an in-depth poll aggregation site. Along with RealClearPolitics, it keeps political junkies better fed than a zombie in WalMart's brains aisle.
- Pumpkin cookies!
- Play2Cures, from the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Pledge money to purchase online game tokens, which you can send to anybody. The mini-golf game nearly derailed this newsletter.
- The New York Times has a cool visualization of how people around the world spend their money. You know, back when people were still spending money. Altruism gets nary a mention.
- Mercy Corps' Action Center to End World Hunger.
- Wow, some people take this zombie thing a little too seriously.
- Google Labs is now available to Google Apps users. Now your entire org can benefit from tools like "Mail Goggles", which promises to stop you from sending regrettable e-mails after a couple of drinks.
- Also, you can apparently use your Gmail account with OpenID.
- The We Are Media Wiki. Yes, we helped make it. That doesn't mean we can't like it!
- Sorry, no velociraptor-related items this month, but: would you survive a zombie invasion?
