Goodbye Volvo

י"ח בתמוז ה'תש"ע (June 30, 2010) America

This is my parents’ white Volvo 850, which they’ve just sold. It’s one of only five or six cars that I’ve ever driven in my life, including some cars I drove only one or two times while I was learning how to drive and getting my licenses, and it’s one of only two cars that [...]

10 Reasons NOT to Delete Your Facebook Account

כ"א באייר ה'תש"ע (May 5, 2010) Aliyah

If you’re in the habit of following these things, you’ve by no doubt now read Dan Yoder’s 10 Reasons to Delete Your Facebook Account. I’ve seen it posted in six or seven places in just the past few hours. Unfortunately, it makes less and less sense every time I skim it. For the following reasons [...]

America in 140 characters or fewer

ו' באדר ה'תש"ע (February 20, 2010) America

Last month I went to visit America for a couple weeks and I recorded the entire trip on the Twitter. Here are all my tweets, from the minute my vacation began to when I got back home. Sorry they’re in reverse order – I can’t find a tool that will export them from first to [...]

Ezra in a Cave

י"ט בכסלו ה'תש"ע (December 6, 2009) Friends

I took this picture in 2001. We were in a cave and through a hole in the ceiling (ground level) light came in and illuminated just a small area. Ezra was standing in it, so I snapped this shot by reading the light meter from the lit area, but standing far back in the unlit [...]

iPhone OS 3.1.x Messed Up My Data Plan!

י"ח בכסלו ה'תש"ע (December 5, 2009) Computer

Though I previously reported that I’d upgraded my iPhone’s firmware to 3.1.2 and that it was good, it was not actually working perfectly for me: Apple did one of their annoying moves and messed up access to cellular data plans on unlocked iPhones in OS 3.1. Consequently, I lost my connectivity when I went from [...]

Skatalites

ט"ו בכסלו ה'תש"ע (December 2, 2009) America

I took this picture when the Skatalites came to Tel Aviv in September. I never thought they’d come to perform in Israel, so it was a special treat to see them play at the Barby. I was not so surprised that they put on a fantastic show, since I’d seen them also in New York [...]

י"ד בכסלו ה'תש"ע (December 1, 2009) Israel

I’ve always loved this picture (by the way, it’s not done with HDR). I took it in March or April 2005 at the end of a work day at the Temple Mount Antiquities Salvage Operation, an archeological excavation of material from the Temple Mount that had been dumped in 1999. The man in the picture [...]

Conquering the Mount

י"א בכסלו ה'תש"ע (November 28, 2009) Israel

This is the last time I’m trying to make this image display correctly using Gallery and the WPG2 plugin before sending out a secret squad of ninja assassins to eliminate the programmers responsible for inflicting Gallery on the world.

I Hate Gallery

י"א בכסלו ה'תש"ע (November 28, 2009) Computer

For quite a few years I’ve used Gallery to store pictures in an online photo album. Gallery sucks, has always sucked and continues to suck in ways I can’t even begin to describe. I remember the first time I tried to install it by hand – I couldn’t get it to work, despite doing everything [...]
