PeaceCorps for nerds.

Just read about these guys today through Idealist.org. GeekCorps is a nonprofit that assists developing countries with their techie and IT needs. They've so far got 3,500 ICT experts willing to volunteer long-term in other countries.

I think this is really neat. I've always wanted to do PeaceCorps but was too lazy/physically inadequate to do things like carry buckets of water from a well to a town 10 miles away. Not that I know how to set up telecommunications infrastructure, but I'm happy to teach the children of the world how to set up an ugly blog.
