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

• CTCnet. Community Technology Centers Network helps computer labs across the country by offering resources a yearly conference.
• Community Technology Network of the Bay Area (CTN). CTN offers monthly Meetups for Bay Area organizations who serve their community through technology and their website has useful resources for public computer labs.
• 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.
• SF Connect. An organization that coordinates volunteer projects, I spend several hours a month volunteering for TechConnect, teaching computer skills in underserved areas of San Francisco.

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.
