A monthly roundup of our favorite nonprofit tech resources. Read more posts on our blog.

- Food hacking. Our overclocked blender totally rocks.
- Zazengo finally goes Beta with MalariaEngage: make micro-donations directly to researchers in Africa.
- Wired tells you how to get ahead on LinkedIn. You can also get a head on eBay.
- Is Windows Solitaire actually good for society? Whatever you do, don't let your boss find your name on the International Solitaire Rankings.
- The Way Back Machine. Be sure to check out NTEN's web presence, circa 2000 A.D. We looked so young!
