Today I Cried

I discovered a new nonprofit technology blog today in the most old-fashioned way - word of mouth!  It's called "Today I Cried - Thoughts on Nonprofit Technology."  It is written by an IT Manager in NY who works for a social agency.  Given that the blogger is describing some of the problems with their organization's technology, it's an anonymous blog.  Also, while some of it is funny, I'm not sure I like making fun of less technically savvy users. 

Tonight at the technobabes dinner, there was alot of speculation about the blogger's gender.  We thought given the title, it must be a woman writing this.   While that is still possible, in one of the posts, the blogger mentions a pregnant wife.

We also brainstormed some ideas for bracamp

Update:  Deborah Finn has blogged about our TechnoBabes dinner and the gender discussion around this blog as well as .  Hmm ...  I'm wondering who is reading the TechnoBabe Meta Feed?

We thought given the title, it must be a woman writing this.... oh, for shame, Beth... the sexism we have to put up with.
Anyhow, no-one wants to read "Today I laughed so hard my beer came out my nose..."

This post made me laugh so it seems as good a time as any to tell you how much I enjoy your blog: I really, really do!

You provide really useful information and inspiration for those of us trying to do something good.

John:

Wow, thanks for your kind words. I clicked through to your blog and had a few laughs myself. I'm enjoying your sense of humor - keep on blogging!

Hi Beth,

Thanks for dropping by and writing the post about my site. You're not the only one that suspected I was a woman. It did surprise me that my gender was being debated. When I say "cried", I hope to mean it in every sense of the word, and sometimes that just means screaming at the top of my lungs. Now that I think about it, I probably need to do that a little bit more.
