I recently got a MacBook Pro from work, and wanted to see how extensively I could get it to do the things I want to. A lot of tools I like to use are from the Linux world, command line and peppered with dependencies. A lot of Linux distributions have package management systems, like RedHat/Fedora/CentOS [...]
Wow. This was a short trip. Five days. I think the only time I’ve ever done this short of a day-to-mileage-traveled ratio. While I won’t burden you with the details of my trip – and believe me, it’s no burden, just another set of stories for another time – the travel never fails to meet [...]
Commercial flight is no longer something I look forward to. There was a time that I would get excited about traveling through the air, it was different, exotic, something reserved for special occasions. As I have grown, and flown more, it feels like when you can see beyond the intricacies of a magicians’ web of [...]
I seem to be letting larger amounts of time slip by between posts, and that kind of makes me sad. Between having the ability to Tweet, Facebook status update and Google Buzz, i feel that sometimes I just don’t want to write, and that is a Bad Thing. Writing is a great way to dump [...]
I just got back from a long afternoon. Ran over to do some hot yoga at Yoga To The People – hard work, and I can see that I am improving, slowly, and that it’s gonna take a little time. Perseverance. After that, I rushed over to the East Village, where I watched a new [...]

Three days in a row of this crazy abuse. These times, I’ve felt less inclined to pass out, having hydrated well for [...]
Day #1, Monday, December 21st, 2009 Some say the arrival of a new year is a good time to make resolutions, and re-evaluate one’s past year. I consider Monday a better choice, and that’s any Monday. Not the beginning of the year, as then you get to easily postpone your responsibility until then, but any [...]
My site apparently got hacked about a month ago, thanks to me not keeping my site software up to date, and left a small vulnerability open, so something went wrong, and I was offline for about three months, until I sat down, and started fresh, with the same content database. It might take a few [...]
This has been on my browser for about a week now, just purely due to the amazingness of it. http://www.usbchainsaw.com/ Enjoy.
This morning’s train brought back some memories for me. I saw a dude wearing a lack t-shirt with Beavis and Butthead in skeleton form, rocking out as usual, and it brought me back to high school, 1995 in Jerusalem, where I met one of my best friends Yos, and he proceeded to educate me in [...]
