Jane vs. Tierney: Jane's Smartsheet review
Are you the type of person that keeps all of your tasks in a
spreadsheet, or use Excel to manage your projects? Maybe you have looked
at other project management tools but found it to be too cumbersome and
requires a steep learning curve. If so, you might want to consider Smartsheet.
Jane vs. Tierney: The Team Project Management Challenge
Do you find that you’re wasting time when working with others - sending files back and forth, looking for buried emails that contained important information, keeping track of who’s working on what? Maybe this is happening internally, or with your board, or between branches. Since most nonprofits rely primarily on email (or paper), almost everyone has this problem. In this review, we’re going to take a look at software for team project management/collaboration that will help you out with these issues.
How I went completely paperless (with help from my iPad)
When I was just about to start my PhD program in Management at the
University of Guelph, I had heard horror stories from friends and
colleagues about the number of academic articles that I would need to

printing out a single academic article, maybe I could do it all
electronically without negatively impacting my productivity.

I Installed Windows 8 and Lived to Tell the Tale...
I feel like I should upgrade to Windows 8. I hear it is faster, has better performance and those tiles look so pretty! I also want the latest version of Microsoft Office. The ability to edit PDF’s in MS Word is exactly what I need. But... I don’t like change. I don’t want to learn a whole new operating system or interface. I am also not sure where to start with the upgrade process. And did I mention I don’t have time for this?!
Despite all that, I am going to give it a try and blog about the whole process. Hopefully you can learn from my own mistakes and evaluate if upgrading to Windows 8 is the right move for you.Too Many Tools, Too Little Time: Choosing the Right Tools for Your Needs

Friday Feed - Great resources from the web - September 30, 2011
Friday Feed is back! In order to stay up to date on what's going on in the world of technology - and nonprofit technology in particular - I follow quite a few blogs and twitter feeds. There's a lot of great content out there but if you don't have the time to stay on top of things (and even if you do!) it can be overwhelming. So, for those of you who have less time to do all this "listening" on nonprofit technology, I'm posting a blog each Friday with the top resources I found in the last week.
