Techcafeteria is the website of Peter Campbell. I am a nonprofit technology professional, working currently as IT Director at Earthjustice, a public interest law firm dedicated to protecting the planet. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area with my wife and son, and blog and speak regularly about technology tools and strategies that support the nonprofit community.
I'm active on a number of social networks and web 2.0 sites with the username peterscampell. The best one to connect with me on is Twitter. I also run the non-profit technology information aggregator at nptech.info and a site devoted to cartoonist George Herriman and his classic strip Krazy Kat at Krazy.com.
Thanks for stopping by.
