On the Internet we all know…

I happened to stop into a tweetup last night.  Happenchance (really happenchance) I ran into an old friend of mine, BZ (BenZion in case you all are curious), a phd History Candidate at Ohio State, in for the summer to do some more phd thesis writing.  He’s been an active blogger on a number of [...]

On Posting and Life

While techically I am in the middle of reviewing the last NYTM (yes I did see that smashed IPAD, that was great, we should do that again!), I realized it has been a while since I have posted. Part of the reason, I’ve been moody.  Graduating and it’s uncertainity is hard on me.  It’s also [...]

While everyone else was having a Privacy Scandal

Image by ShanaLC via Flickr I saw the weirdest thing recently.  While we are all having conniptions about privacy, the last person I would ever think threw a wrench in the entire argument about having privacy.  Maybe. A fairly obscure blogger (who I like to read), named Hasidic Rebel, decided to unmask himself as Sholom [...]

On Venture Capital, Aliya, And Israel

Image via Wikipedia One note about this post: Disqus allows me to keep a heavy eye on you all.  I’m not out to have a politics here or politics there talk.  This is not a YAY ISREAL or a BOOO ISRAEL post.  My politics are my politics and they are shaped by my experiences and [...]

The AVC People List

Image by ShanaLC via Flickr I’m not sure what to say right now.  Though the AVC People list is here. (now you can’t complain, it is at the top of the post.) Originally I had started this list many moons ago because Fred Wilson told me that I should follow the people on AVC.com in [...]

This is depressing

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.

Talking to some Bloggers last night

This post covers two areas: Who may be reading this blog, and what I should do about it.

Freedom and Google

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 [...]

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

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 [...]

Something is disturbing me

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, [...]
