Interesting Reads

I haven't posted for awhile, admittedly letting my personal time of focus on new tech and non-profits get washed up in other 'pressing' issues. That said, I've read some great posts in the last couple days and I wanted to share them with the web.

The first post is entitled, "The Gervais Principle, Or The Office According to "The Office". If you like the show(s) and enjoy management/business principles you will LOVE this essay. It's rather lengthy, but it is entirely brilliant.The writer, whom I know follow on Twitter, mentioned this morning that his blog received 25,000 visits the day it was posted.

The next post is an article I read via Trina Isakson, a non-profit professional in Vancouver. It refers to direct mail/waste/recycling and my personal area of interest, online communication/donations. I also commented, but woefully mispelt a word (non uncommon when using my iPhone).It's worth continue the conversation (and reading her other great posts).

Keep on reading, learning, and adapting.

Thanks for the shout-out Ben! I gave a ridiculously lengthy response to your comment. I'd love to hear more about what you're doing in this area beyond Urbantastic.

PS. I went back to edit your misspell - hope that's OK!

Great response! I'm working at Union Gospel Mission right now, hence the tweets about the new (awesome) site. Raiser's Edge, direct mail, Multi-million dollar budget, tens of thousand of donors... lots of info to share!

P.S. Thanks for the correction.
