Soapbox launch: Virginia Water Environment Association

Tuesday, June 5th, 2007

Virginia Water Environment AssociationWater. 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!

Salesforce.com takes active listening to the next level

Sunday, June 3rd, 2007

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.

This is truly a unique opportunity to shape the future of a major application for our sector.

jetBlue steals more of my sleep

Sunday, June 3rd, 2007

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.

JetBlue's Flight #318

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.
