thanks for the great responses on my last two posts. no response from me, because i've been in bed ever since. Yesterday I broke down and went to a doctor. Bronchitis. Awesome. I'm about to go back to bed for the rest of my 72 hour and counti

Me and Christmas
Thursday, 27 December 2007 10:03 P GMT-06
All right, fine, I'll admit it. This was a harder-than-expected Christmas for me. I got teary eyed during Will Farrell's Elf. I got choked up watching Beauty and the Beast. I didn't mind the Christmas Carols so much. I made the Christmas

So the ring (enough about the ring, Leah, we get it. You got a free ring. Stop rubbing it in.)...After Yom Kippur I got pretty down in the dumps. I was never able to put my finger on why, but I was shutting down and shutting out friends. It wasn'
New Singelringen for me, means a Singelringen for you.
Thursday, 27 December 2007 10:59 A GMT-06
Linda at Singelringen sent me a new size 3 ring, one that actually fits me! That means I have a size 4 Singelringen to give away. It's way too big for me and I have big hands for a woman (size 8 ring finger), so it'll need to go to a guy or g

While I took my computer with me downstate for Christmas, it stayed in my backpack the entire time. Not to say I didn't hop on and off the interwebs using mobile web or my sister's laptop, but there wasn't time or desire to write a post.
Great interviews. Writer? not so good.
Friday, 21 December 2007 12:18 A GMT-06
I'm having a bad writer night. Despite a pile of great interviews, I haven't been able to grok my article on Jewish communities. I think I went the wrong direction with it and it's really frustrating. I know what I want to say, but think
I can haz Singelringen!
Tuesday, 18 December 2007 11:38 P GMT-06
Remember a post that I wrote last year? About coveting a certain blue and silver ring? Today I got one in the mail from Linda Sherman, she does the PR for Singelringen and offered it to me. Hooray, thanks Linda!There is, of course, a story.After I w

If you leave a comment on this post, you agree to be quoted in an article I'm writing about online and offline communities for PresenTense. If you aren't Jewish then answer the questions for whatever sort of online community you are a part of
Lots of great interviews
Monday, 17 December 2007 11:04 P GMT-06
I've been lucky to have lots of great people answer my questions for my next PresenTense article. Now I just have to synthesize the comments into the essay/article about online/offline communities with a focus on Jews.It is an intimidating articl
dboo and Nick DeWolf
Sunday, 16 December 2007 10:41 A GMT-06
I don't remember exactly when I added dboo as a friend on Flickr. Either I was looking for an image of a computer and found one of his or he came up in the feed of everything else. Dboo is Steve and he is the son-in-law of Nick DeWolf, an invento

It's been one of those weeks, folks, one of those weeks. Tuesday night was beyond wonderful, I had a house full of people for the last night of Hanukah. Since it was an Itza Mitzva, I even had my rabbi over. Friends from shul and my extended Jewi
Blogging and Flickring Jews!

You guys! The URJ is blogging and Flickring the Biennial! They have a blogroll with real blogs on it! (I didn't make the cut, but, you know, I'm just the youngest member of the Board of Directors at a Reform Synagogue, whatev.) Did som
Buy a couch. Put on your boots.

I've found myself repeating two life lessons on Twitter lately and thought I'd tell the slightly longer than 140 character version of each.1. Buy a couch and act like you live there.2. Put on your boots and leave.Couch. M. Cristina

No posts, eh? Well, it was a crazy Hanukah filled weekend with no time to post. Services, three latke dinners and a brunch. Busy, busy Leah.I got a lot a traffic on Saturday night when Hugh mentioned we talked on the phone. Weird. Well, not weird, I
May their memory be for a blessing
Friday, 7 December 2007 11:09 P GMT-06
I resent when media make a celebrity of a killer. I will not reprint his name here, but will reprint the names of the people who died in the shooting in the mall in Omaha. We should remember that they were mothers, fathers, children, parents, sibling
On the third night of Hanukah...
Thursday, 6 December 2007 11:34 P GMT-06
Last night I stayed at work L A T E. Very late, but I got a lot done. I'd had a report staring be down for a couple weeks and it wasn't coming together. What I needed was loud music and no interruptions. Which I got by going to dinner with a

My friends Peter and Deb left Chicago last year for New York and the Colbert Report. While I shook my fist at Colbert for taking two super-fantastic friends away, I understood it was important and the chance of a lifetime. So when the wri

I had a bit of a Betty Crocker weekend this weekend. I made Chocolate Chip Banana Bread (from scratch) yesterday and today I made the Gapersblock Tomato Soup. I also had some pizza, not from scratch, and burgers at Hamburger Mary's. I stayed in F
I <3 the interwebs
Saturday, 1 December 2007 12:31 P GMT-06
This first very cold weekend has found my curled up by the warmth of my MacBook Pro, watching videos and finding new things on the interwebs. Since I've been twittering and saving links all night and morning, I thought I would actually share some
