On Venture Capital, Aliya, And Israel

By Shana | Published: February 12, 2010

This is depressing

By Shana | Published: January 22, 2010
Because of some odd scheduling stuff, I couldn’t get registered for anything I really wanted to go to for Social Media Week.  So now I am waitlisted to death.  And I am not sure what to do.  Advice welcome.   Bleh.  I hate when these sorts of things happen.

Freedom and Google

By Shana | Published: January 15, 2010
Image via Wikipedia Normally I avoid the subject of freedom at all costs. But the Google/China standoff has made it really important to say something, because I’m watching this in more bated breath than Haiti. Most people, upon meeting me, don’t realize that I burn with certain questions, one of them being “What does it mean to be [...]

Mediation on Religion: Or How to Culture Jam Judaism on the Internet

By Shana | Published: December 3, 2009
To the people who have educated me and supported me along the way: Thanks. One other note: I have a lot of social data on this subject.  I did a whole 10 page research paper on a related parts of this Judaism, Culture Jamming, and how it affected funding decisions, with footnotes, in 2007.  Apparently if [...]

Something is disturbing me

By Shana | Published: November 23, 2009
I wish I knew how to read the markets well.  Something is disturbing me.  The kind of thing you can’t read but you feel in your gut. There is too much money sloshing around because of TARP. And we are starting to see the first signs of consumer spending. The money has to go somewhere, and [...]

I’ll admit it

By Shana | Published: November 13, 2009
A) I owe Dave a favor: http://shortscreen.com/ There you go. B) I admit to being more than a bit depressed.  I’m unhappy with school.  I’m super unhappy.  I have a BA where there is meat to dig deeper (and apparently the crit is Tuesday, not Thursday).  People love the ambiguity, what is discoverable if I can give a [...]
