Portland HQ staff spent an afternoon at the Oregon Food Bank. Fun fact: One of the participants from NTEN’s Oregon Nonprofit Tech Readiness Program is staffed there. It was a nice break from his normal tech duties, and a good reminder that there are still some tasks that only hard work and a lot of hands can accomplish.

The snow part has been humorous ( because Portlanders don't do snow ). The email in-box project has also been surprisingly fun: I found quite a few tidbits -- or this n'at , as Pittsurghers would say -- worth sharing. I had heard of these guys before, but finally signed up for a sample analysis of the NTEN community.

The tools are only useful, engaging, and successful when used as part of a community (how fun is it to use Facebook without any friends?). I know there are lots of excellent things taking place back in Portland today, but it’s not a holiday over here in London. What’s the Next Step? So, I felt like I was disconnected.

Have Fun - Do Good

NOVEMBER 19, 2010

Last week I finished my month-long Have Fun, Do Good series where 12 bloggers shared how they have fun and do good. My main takeaway from their rainbow of stories is that there are *so* many ways to have fun and do good. Amy Sample Ward, amysampleward.org I invite people along for the ride. But it’s also fun.
