I am a techie, as much as sometimes I'd like to not admit it. I drool over new technology, I love to play with hardware, I love to play around with new kinds of programming languages, or operating systems. As much as I see, and understand the limitations of technology, I still really enjoy it. It is, for me, a creative endeavor.
I have come to realize that I am also good at translating what is often an incomprehensible set of concepts to people who are not as technically inclined as I am. And, further, I seem to enjoy doing that. I have worked with organizations and individuals in the nonprofit and educational sectors on technology issues for 10 years. As I emerge from my experience in seminary, I realize that I still have a lot to offer in this realm, especially a more conscious, more thoughtful approach to the use of technology.
I am working on building a new technology consulting firm, called OpenIssue. Also, check out my technology blog, called Zen and the Art of Nonprofit Technology.
