About that OneVoice blogger meet-up.
Saturday, 29 September 2007 3:32 P GMT-06
First, let me say, I know I'm going to miss people. If I leave you out of my round-up, leave a comment and tell me where your blog is. I was pretty excited, overwhelmed, relieved, and excited, so I know I didn't meet everyone that came

Suicide touches everyone. I have called 911 and done first aid when students attempted suicide during my years in college housing. An aunt, a cousin, a neighbor have been buried after suicide, but none of them had the "support"

My tired, tired self made it home safe and sound last night and am now playing catch-up.
What a week so far!
Tuesday, 25 September 2007 9:49 P GMT-06
Last night he OneVoice Blogger Meet-up that I've been working on happened and it was simply amazing. I can not begin to explain how great it was, but check out Mobius's photos and you'll get a sense of how amazing it was.
It did feel good.

While it took me ages to get into the Yom Kippur mood, can I just say that being on an account at work where the majority of the team is Jewish was really cool. As the day drew to an end, everyone left a bit early and work stopped. It didn'

There are some things I want to do, accomplish, welcome into my life this year. Let's see if I can put them into words.1. More space. I've been in my condo 2.5 years, can you believe it? April 2005 is when I closed and moved in, just days bef

I've been trying to write a post for days, but it keeps ending up in the shredder that is the delete button. Oh, there might be a draft somewhere, but nothing worth publishing.1. I was not in a Yom Kipur state of mind until yesterday aftern

What is occupying much of my time right now? A little event that is happening in New York City on Monday, September 24th. I've mentioned before that I'm working with the OneVoice Movement as they gear up for One Million Voices and the s
A quick note.

I am high above the Olympic Park in Atlanta and about to leave the confines of my hotel for Edelman Atlanta where I'll be doing my "Going beyond Google" stuff for most of their staff. I had a great day in Atlanta yesterday.

all I meant was that I'd deleted five posts over the course of the day. write, delete, do something else. write, delete. write, delete. nothing big, I promise. Don't worry.
Everything I want to say...

...is far too personal. So for now, for today at least, I'm not really writing. Perhaps for a week or two. It's just one of those days. Permission to not blog. I'm sure I'll be on Twitter and Flickr...

1. From Ms. Guth I learned that when I'm looking at my blackberry she can determine my focus based on my eyebrows. If my eyebrows are up, then I'm listening to my surroundings; if they are down, I'm focused on the email 100% an

In case you are looking for the challah recipe I live and die by, it is here: Shiksa's Guide to Baking Challah.And if you want to see the result, it is on Flickr.For Rosh Hashanah, I knead in golden raisins after the first rise. When you ar
The challah is rising.

I don't remember how long it has been since I baked challah. Maybe as far back as Christmas or last Rosh Hashanah. Very sad, but I don't bake it as much as I used to. Not even with my new amazing Kitchen Aid mixer. I j

I. Love. Twitter.I've said it approximately a million times before, but I'm in love with Twitter. It is how I got my nice Chicago Geek/Tech social circle, how I met a certain London based cartoonist, and how I got out of bed this mornin

Tonight is selichot, next week is my third Rosh Hashanah, after that my third Yom Kippur. I suppose there comes a time when I am no longer so aware of the number of years I've been Jewish or the number of times I've done this holiday or

At my synagogue, we have the main sanctuary where we do Friday night services, Saturday mornings if there is a bar or bat mitzvah, and high holiday services. Then we have a chapel. A small circular room, made of stone, with amazing acoust

Today I wandered out to the suburbs to get reiki. It is the third time I've gone, originally it was for my back and it is always a little about my back. But my reiki practitioner is also intuitive, really intuitive, so I go for the ex

Silver lining of Quechup spam

The silver lining of this all, is that I emailed everyone in my gmail address books. 850 addresses. Many bounced, some were info@email.com and others were to (gasp) listservs that I'm on. But probably 600 or so were good. Maybe
