Sister Anne Flanagan of the Daughters of St. Paul in Chicago and her love for technology is profiled in the San Francisco Gate. She blogs, texts and prays for programmers she reads about in the newspaper. 

I think we all could learn from her balance of technology and the more contemplative part of her vocation–moreover, how she uses technology to enhance her acts of service.

“[Sister Anne] roams the Internet looking for cool technology, although, she wryly notes, “a vow of poverty tends to limit one’s access.”

I love the discussion of how a vow of poverty curtails online activities, but does not exclude them.
