I just checked my web stats and, boy, are my arms tired. Wait, wrong line. I just checked my web stats and, boy, are you guys stopping by. Apparently everybody’s traffic is up since the offensive began, including Jack’s Gaza round-ups which are getting three times his normal readers. When I look in the stats, [...]

Live Blogging Reading about Gaza
6:45 AM I woke up and went to Jpost.com. 6:49 AM I went to NYTimes.com. 6:51 AM I turned on the dood. This is of far greater importance to me than anything the traditional media outlets are covering. 6:52 AM I read other sites. Do you feel caught up on the conflict? Live blogging rules. [...]

Live Blogging I Don’t Believe That Just Happened

Fortunately, as long as I am working (or living) in this country, I will have no shortage of posts like this one… And now……another great moment in Israeli customer service history. Benji: “Shalom, I’d [...]
Looks Like Somebody’s Got Christmas Envy
If you couldn’t tell from here… My friend’s company has started appending the following signature to the bottom of all outgoing messages. How dare they leave out Festivus, seriously.
