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.

Administrivia

For the three of you that noticed we were unavailable yesterday, my normally drama free (and wind-powered) hosting service, Canvas Dreams, had a nasty power failure and moved my domains to a new server. Since I follow what I consider to be a best practice of managing my DNS with a separate company from my hosting service (I've had to many unreliable hosting service experiences prior to finding Canvas Dreams), my site didn't survive the transfer without a DNS update and, as usual, this all happened while I was out of town on a business trip. We're back today. ... more
