Home About Me Subscribe Zen and the Art of Nonprofit Technology Thoughtful and sometimes snarky perspectives on nonprofit technology Speaking too soon April 15, 2007 I’ve been doing a lot of thinking since I wrote my post, a few weeks ago , saying I was done with technology consulting.

I feel that the question of how ‘up’ on technology we need to be depends on your role in nonprofit. There are times when I couldn’t tell you the last time I sent a tweet, and there are other days when I tweet quite actively. I’m in an active phase right now (hence, the comment)!
