I need to find a laser printer somewhere so I can download and print all six parts of this free, open-source toolkit “created to assist those organizations providing services for communities in need.” Created by IDEO and the Gates Foundation among others. At a glance it looks to be a road-map in how to setup…
I’ve seen this before so there’s a good chance that I’ve already shared it here but just can’t remember it. If so, I apologize for the recycling of content.
For many, I am a dream seatmate on a flight. I stay contained in my own space, I rarely get up to use the restroom, I don’t order copious amounts of food or drink and I’m usually either silently fading to the sounds of my headphones or pencil deep into my Moleskine jotting random notes…
There are any number of reasons why one might wake up at 5:00am two days in a row beating his alarm clock by a good hour to hour and a half, I just haven’t figured out which one it might be yet. Could be that he is just excited to get the day started, it…
While the brevity of Twitter is useful, it is also quite restricting. We have arrived safely at our destination and have all began to get settled in. Two services today, the first here in Jinotega and the second this evening in a small town about ten minutes from here called Apanats. Spent about 3 hours…
Starting tomorrow, I will be flying out with 19 others to spend the week in Jinotega, Nicaragua hopefully helping to do some good for the people there. I am assuming that access to the modern devices we take for granted will be limited so there’s a possibility that I will be un-gridded for an entire…

I have no idea who Tomato Nation is, but I just stumbled across his/her post on 25 And Over. They nailed it. As I read through the 20 different rules I had to reflect on where I sit on the top side of 25. There are a number of them I’d like to get better…

Filed under the category of: Not of any importance but caught my attention none-the-less While getting a map set up for a client’s contact/location page, I noticed that the Google map about to be used has the same street spelled two different ways on the same city block. Nolen vs. Nolan I don’t know whether…
If you’ve only got 11 mins to watch a short film, this would be the one you should choose today. Silent, other than the music.
For those web related or for those who just enjoy browsing random statistical findings, the 2008 results of The Survey For People Who Make Websites has been published: http://aneventapart.com/alasurvey2008/00.html Now do me a favor and tally up the stuff I want to read into a nice little package so I don’t have to scour the…
My buddy Mike grew out his beard over the last month or so to a commendable length. While saddened that he has decided to remove it from his face, I applaud him in his efforts to do so in pieces. The handle-bar mustachio he was supporting this week is well worth another week or seven…
I guarantee it.
