This past Monday I decided to poke around Linked-in and find people that I knew that I hadn’t connected with. I sent out more than 20 link up requests. What I thought was interesting is that a good half dozen or so wrote me back and say “Hey how are you doing. I was wondering [...]

June 7, 2007

On one of the shows Chris Brogan hosted on Blog.tv he invited me to co-host with him. We talked about security, Jewish mysticism, and how I might use this new media for the things I teach and do. When he asked I was struck a bit by how much of this “new media” has been [...]

QT: Thoughts from a power outage

June 7, 2007

Last night we had huge winds around here, gusts up to 100 mph. As you might guess quite a few power lines were knocked down, including ours. I had wonderful surprise as I went downstairs and looked over towards our addition and noticed the lights on. When we added on to our house we put [...]

I was reading W. James Au’s article on the gaming industry as well as Joi Ito’s article and I was struck by two things. The first was the irony of the fact that if the gaming industry really is as James Au describes it “young gamer dudes, serving an audience of young gamer dudes” that [...]

A (not so) Quick Sketch Biography of Goldie Katsu

May 31, 2007

I’ve been thinking about Chris Brogan’s DIY Autobiography Kit, well, since he published it on his blog. I thought I’d join in and write up my Quick (or maybe not so quick) Sketch Biography, so here it goes.

Loss and Rememberence

May 22, 2007

In two days it will be the second day of Shavuot (for those of us outside of Israel), and it will be the one year anniversary of the passing of Dovid Weiss. I’d say Dovid was friend of ours, but really the relationship was different, he was more like family, more like a son. We [...]
