But first I'm going to show off on behalf of our NetSquared organizers. I have the very best job at TechSoup — I get to support our network of nonprofit technology event organizers. At each event, we're helping to build and sustain a self-supporting community of practice for tech-minded nonprofit staffers.

I was a ski bum for a winter, and landed one week in Austin, Texas and got a job waiting tables. When I did a little digging, I realized that aside from threatening our water supply in Austin, Texas, they had sufficiently done that in Indonesia, and the Philippines and pretty much all over the world. That was really me.
