Hi, I'm Sam. I like to help people with money, web 2.0, and social justice awareness. I have a dream of using the social media space to help people in both little ways (wheelchair ramps down the road) and big ways (ending human trafficking). Here you can read, watch, and listen to my thoughts on all three.

Larry’s Beans: Coffee Artists on a Mission (Giveaway!)

In October, my wife and I took a trip to Black Mountain, North Carolina. While we there, we discovered the Dripolator, a local coffee shop that sells Larry’s Beans. I bought a pound, took it home, and fell in love. Soon after, I gave Larry’s Beans a call and talked to Kyley, one of their marketing folks. I told her about my passion for fair trade and my blog, and asked her if there was a way we could partner. She suggested a product giveaway, and here we are.

Review: FreshBooks for Non-Profits

I suppose this is the first of my series of reviews of web apps for non-profits, though I guess I’ve posted comments about several already. Forgive me if the first few are a little rough around the edges. And to the PR or development teams of these apps: please comment if I’ve missed something or misrepresented something about your app.

Anyway, the purpose of these reviews is to tell you about apps I either use or like and how they could apply to non-profits. They’re not meant to be comprehensive by any means (leave that to the tech blogs), but are more meant to give non-profits ideas of how to use cutting edge technology to make their work easier.

Today’s review is about FreshBooks. I just posted a brief comment about FreshBooks the other day and how their customer support rocks. Today I’d like to dig a little deeper into what FreshBooks is and why it could be useful for non-profits.
