RIP: Rob Stuart, Godfather of the NpTech Movement

Beth's Blog: How Nonprofits Can Use Social Media

Rob Stuart shared my birthday, Jan. 11th. But we also shared more than that – the nonprofit technology field. Rob was the godfather. The last time I saw him was in 2009 in San Francisco at the NTC. I just learned that Rob passed away , leaving behind a wife and two daughters. Back in the mid-1990′s – after 15 years of working the nonprofit sector, I got obsessed by technology and started working as the network weaver for an online network of artists called ArtsWire.

Look Ahead Where You Want to Go

Have Fun - Do Good

I'm having a bit of blogger's block, so I thought I'd share this post from August 31, 2005 (my 4th blog post!), Look Ahead Where You Want to Go. I could use this advice for myself right now, and thought maybe you could too. I hate to drive. During the last 14 20 years that I've lived in the Bay Area, I can count on one hand the number of times I've driven a car, even though I have a license.
