Technically, I'm a cat person.
Thursday, 31 August 2006 3:43 P GMT-06
I have one cat. Spidey. He makes me Officially A Cat Person. So do all the cats I had growing up. So does that fact that my life feels incomplete without feline companionship. So does the fact that my clothes do, in fact

I don't know when it happened, but it finally did. I am now the top ranked Leah Jones in Google. Seriously, if you Google Leah Jones, you get the right Leah Jones. Namely, me!

I don't care about other bloggers.

So what is Samsung hired FOUR bloggers, I really only care about one. That is my former roommate Jonathan. Fine, if you want to check out the WHOLE Samsung site, you can.
And you can also follow his personal blog.
Totally thought I'd have this great, meaningful post today.

I had all sorts of blog craziness running around my brain today, but now it seems to have slipped into the ethers.
I can tell you that Itza Mitzvah is going to happen. (DId you hear me CK? We've got a flyer, a rabbi and a coffee house
XPOST: "Ask and It Is Given" half off!
Tuesday, 29 August 2006 10:57 A GMT-06
Fellow Bloggers:
Ask and It Is Given, the book this blog is loosely based on, is only $9 on Amazon right now. I bought four copies (since I tend to give mine away on a regular basis) and thought I'd let everyone in on the secret.
Sincerely,
And today, say hello to Garr Reynolds.
Tuesday, 29 August 2006 9:23 A GMT-06
I work on presentations, but I don't drive presentations. If I did, I would take every bit of advice that Garr Reynolds gives. Today I want you to read his post about David Pink's new book A Whole New Mind.
I espescially want to point ou
I bought it! I bought it!

For the first time ever in the history of ever, I've bought myself a new computer desk. After blogging last week about wanting a desk, I went to Levenger's in Marshall Field's on State and found a sexy desk. The sexy desk was on SALE.&nbs
Go say hello to Scott.
Monday, 28 August 2006 10:19 A GMT-06
I'll admit it, I have a little blog crush on Scott "That Nametag Guy" Ginsberg. He's crushingly optimistic and just a little wacky. Come on, he got a tattoo of his ever present nametag. That's a little wacky.
Anyway, he h
I will not feel bad for this.

Things I don't like or don't do that I will no longer feel guilty or embarassed for not liking or doing.
I'm indoorsey. The exact opposite of outdoorsey. Maybe not the EXACT opposite, but pretty close. I appreciate a lovely
Maybe I won't have to boycott Border's.
Sunday, 27 August 2006 8:35 A GMT-06
I know, I know. I shouldn't shop at Border's. I should go to independent bookstores. The problem is that the independent Jewish bookstores aren't exactly easy to get to. When I've gone to Rosenblum's I've either taken 3 days w

This post isn't about how kugel stops heart disease or how studying torah will help you live to 116, but about my Jewish aging process. I'm coming up on my first JewDay. November 17 is my anniversary of going to mikvah and the last 8 mont

Perhaps you've already heard the news and you just wonder what the most junior member of the me2revolution has to say. Or you are a normal reader who has no idea what I do during the day other than it involves blogs, search engines, and occasio
Good advice.

One more short post and then The Devil in The White City and I need to go to bed. The book is horrifying and satisfying. Thanks to my neighbor for leaving it on my door post.
Anyway, I had an objective third party look at my book.
We should never pick our own nicknames.
Thursday, 24 August 2006 8:36 P GMT-06
Oh Jonathan. Didn't you get the memo that we should never, ever pick our own nicknames? Apparently they forgot to forward it to you at your temp gig. You would have known better than to pick anything starting with "The."

Hat tip to Seraphic Secret on this one. Tamir is an Israeli teenager. His father took him up north to see through their own eyes what damage the bombs did in Israel.

Wednesday, 23 August 2006 5:32 P GMT-06
A few people from my past-life as an RA recognize this post's title as something other than a song by Kermit The Frog. It's Not Easy Being Green was my (award winning) program to get college students talking about (not having) sex. It was
Slacker blogger
Wednesday, 23 August 2006 12:01 P GMT-06
Maybe I haven't written much of substance here lately, but you can see what I've written for work at Edelman's Talkshop.
Maybe I could be into that.
Tuesday, 22 August 2006 11:15 P GMT-06
Today the tech guys at work finally let me around the firewall and I went into Second Life for the first time. Uh oh. This could be bad. I could totally get into it. Maybe not totally, but the animation is really spectacular a
I don't quite love it, but the change is nice... right?
Tuesday, 22 August 2006 4:10 P GMT-06
Diane is migrating from Blogger to Blog City and I got template envy. So I wanted to mess with mine. And I have. And I'm not IN LOVE with it, but it is different and sometimes different is good.

My famous and totally borrowed challah recipe

Baking Challah.
Monday, 21 August 2006 8:02 P GMT-06
If you are lucky, you might get a slice of challah from me this week! I am baking for the first time in ages. I don't remember the last time I baked challah. I could check my email, because I know I harassed people to come and take
