Benetech Featured on the Giving Library

Beneblog: Technology Meets Society

It's my first experience with a TelePrompter over the camera lens (so you can look into the camera). Please check out our video interview on the Giving Library. Very cool, but I have to admit this is the most sober and serious interview I've ever given because I was trying hard to follow my notes!

I love my digital camera and taking lots of pictures. However, most times that means I'm not in the picture. Neil Soiffer of Design Sciences took this nice picture of me on the top of the mountain for the ICCHP conference's Mountain Attack on July 12th, 2008.

I just got a brand new camera and I've been having lots of fun taking pictures of the many events I attended in the last two months.

I mean, the Nike shop and the camera shop had the same products and same prices as I'd expect to pay at a mall in California. My first afternoon in town, I wandered the central shopping district. The products and prices seemed similar to what I'd see in the United States.

Beneblog: Technology Meets Society

When I visited the archive again last month, I walked into an efficient and orderly data gathering operation equipped with copiers, cameras and flatbed digital scanners. Working together with the Guatemalan Office of the Human Rights Ombudsman and several Guatemalan NGOs, the largest human right archive project in history was launched.

Beneblog: Technology Meets Society

And someone was kind enough to grab my camera and take the picture below to prove I and Taddy were actually there! And, Jeff spent the evening talking to people in 1's, 2's and 3's. I mean, he helped make Al Gore into an Oscar-Award winning actor: what might he be able to do with a social entrepreneur!
