Favorite Web Sites

• Netflix. What's not to like about being able to instantly watch thousands of movies and TV shows?
• Craigslist. A great site for everything from looking for a job to looking for a date.
• Google. I can't live without this site! Maps, images, search. And don't even get me started about Google Earth! Wow.

Nonprofits I Admire

• Community Technology Network (CTN). CTN is an advocate and catalyst for digital inclusion and literacy by providing training, mentorship, networking and volunteers to under-served communities.
• Global Exchange. An international human rights organization dedicated to promoting social, economic and environmental justice around the world. I've taken their Reality Tours to Cuba and Venezuela.
• Full Circle Fund. Full Circle Fund is an engaged philanthropy organization cultivating the next generation of community leaders and driving lasting social change in the Bay Area and beyond.

Current Technology Obsession

ReadyTalk! I love this application and would marry it if I could (sorry, Kevin).

Geekiest Moment

When I coordinated a donation of 15 computers to a low-income housing development and found volunteers to install the open-source operating system Edubuntu on them.

Technology Words of Wisdom

Don't reinvent the wheel! It's all been done and can be found somewhere on the Internet.

Favorite Soup

Lobster bisque.
