• I take no referral fees or other inducement for any recommendations.

Buildings

• Architect Description in Wikipedia - A pretty good summary of what architects do, with many links.
  
• Architect finder - The American Institute of Architects listing of members by location, building type etc.
• Rocky Mountain Institute - One of the clearest, most positive organizations addressing energy use in buildings as well as throughout the economy.

Computers

Principles  for Choosing and Using Technology

General Sources

• Gizmo's Freeware - A non-commercial, user-supported/edited site providing good recommendations for free software and web services.
• Techsoup - Dedicated to serving the nonprofit world with a newsletter, hardware & software deals etc. - They tend to emphasize commercial software. 
  
• They have a searchable registry of people and organizations serving nonprofits (I"m not yet a member).
• IdealWare - "Helping Nonprofits Make Smart Software Decisions" - An excellent group with articles, online training, listing of consultants.  They have a relationship with Techsoup.
  

A few Specific Software and Services

• CrossLoop - you can allow an off-site expert to control your computer to address problems or provide training.  CrossLoop has experts available.
• Google Apps for Nonprofits - I'm building this consulting service using their commercial version.  It's free for most nonprofits.
  
• Microsoft Live Sync - Wonderful service to synchronize many computers with up to hundreds of gigabytes of files.  Amazing service.
  
• Mozy Backup - Online backup service at a quite low cost  - $3.95 +$0.50/GB per month.  Restoring is easy.
• Tools for Academics - My own site addressing specific free and commercial software.  It's clearly dated (last revised in 2006), but many of the recommendations are still valid.
