The Facebook is going to get rid of regional networks. Interesting idea. Also totally lame.
I wasn’t so keen on the idea of regional networks when they implemented it a few years ago. I thought Facebook was better when used only by people with access to university email addresses (in practice, only by students and recent [...]
Is anyone out there familiar with PictureSync? It’s a small program that I use to upload pictures directly from iPhoto to Facebook albums and to my photo gallery.
I’ve been having a problem with it recently – for some reason, it’s not letting me use my Gallery account, giving me the following error message: “No Privileges: [...]
For travel between Manhattan and the DC suburbs: I endorse Tripper Bus. Having previously used Greyhound, all the Chinese companies operating from under the Manhattan Bridge, and Vamoose, as well as Amtrak and some of the airlines, without hesitation my one-way trip to Bethesda via Tripper was the most comfortable voyage I’ve taken from New [...]
If I ever make a list of reasons why Tel Aviv is the superior city, or at least the best place to live in Israel, I promise not to forget to add this list of Tel Aviv’s problems at the end of it.
To address some of them:

I think Thanksgiving is great. In fact, it’s one of the greatest things about America that’s portable to Israel (still working on convincing people here that football is the superior sport). But I will never go to America for Thanksgiving. Why not? Unfortunately, Thanksgiving has been completely swallowed up by the black hole of of [...]
Bad: restaurants monopolize sidewalk space with their tables and chairs. Actually, this isn’t entirely bad – what’s bad is the sense of entitlement that the restaurant owners, employees and patrons take about the public sidewalk space. A table and chair placed on a sidewalk is, after all, in a thoroughfare meant for pedestrians, and if [...]

I never actually met Cousin Bruce. In fact, I hardly know anything about him, except that he may either have been involved in some distantly mafia related activity or that he may simply have gotten mixed up with the wrong crowd back in the 1970s, depending on which relative I asked. And I don’t even [...]
Here are some of the wonderful foods I enjoyed on my recent visit to the United States:

‘Nuff said.
Bagel Bob’s
Every time I go there, I get two plain bagels with butter, one toasted and one not; it’s been that way since 1999 and it will be that way forever. I love Bagel Bob’s, notwithstanding [...]
