Water. It’s something many of us take for granted in the United States, and thankfully we have people like those at the Virginia Water Environment Association who dutifully focus on the preservation and enhancement of Virginia’s water environment for today and future generations. We’re excited they decided to launch their new site with our Non-Profit Soapbox!

Check out their site: http://www.vwea.org.

Tomorrow through Wednesday I’ll be joining quite an esteemed list of non-profit technologists at the Salesforce.com Nonprofit Roadmap Summit, June 4-6, in San Mateo, CA. I’m eager to see how successful this crew can be at helping shape the roadmap for the non-profit template, and even more eager to see if this model can be replicated for our Non-Profit Soapbox. This is truly a unique opportunity to shape the future of a major application for our sector.

I’m quite the frequent flier, and jetBlue gets the lion’s share of my mileage.  Ok, pretty much all of it.  I take the last flight out of Washington Dulles at around 9pm ET, and then take the red-eye out of Oakland on the flight to DC.

All was fine until jetBlue recent changed their schedule, pushing me back to a flight that leaves OAK at midnight (3am ET)!  Now, I get the joy of arriving at 8:05am ET, just minutes before a Washington Flyer bus leaves for West Falls Church making me wait 40 minutes for the next bus.

Why, oh why jetBlue, must you steal my sleep?  The Hollywood stars get to take a more decent 9:45pm flight to Dulles, but we Nor Cal folks get stuck with this crazy new schedule?

PICnet DC can expect a cranky Ryan on arrivals from the West coast.
