Shabbos dinner tonight is going to be simple: Vegetarian Chili. Valentine’s Day dinner was actually last night for the Radwins. We have a tradition of celebrating on the 13th. It was a fancy four-course vegetarian Italian dinner. The owner of the restaurant greeted us at the door with a handshake and a kiss (for me […]

New Business Cards
My new business cards arrived today. Dude. Sweet.
Standing on both sides of the Chasm
I started reading Crossing the Chasm last night, and 30 pages into the book, I’m wondering where I fit along the Technology Adoption Life Cycle bell curve. Until now, I’ve always thought of myself as an innovator or early adopter. After all, I’m a computer guy, and I spend a lot of time thinking about […]
JR Conlin wins the Favicon contest
JR Conlin has won the radwin.org favicon contest. Congratulations, JR! You’ll get your Grand Prize tomorrow at lunchtime. JR’s entry pays tribute to the orange navigation bar present throughout the site. It’s a good color. Some might call it #ffcc99, but I prefer “radwin.org orange”, much the way Ray Sun describes the hue of the […]

Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman!

I’m worried about Wesley

In brief, the heavyweight champion (Ving Rhames) ends up in jail, convicted of rape. A typical alpha male, he fights anyone who gets in his way. He learns that another inmate (Wesley […]

Plant a tree in memory of Ilan Ramon
A couple of weeks ago, before the Space Shuttle launch, Israeli Astronaut Ilan Ramon had a televised conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. He said, “I call upon every Jew in the world to plant a tree in the land of Israel during the coming year. I would like to see at least 13 […]
My office in Santa Monica
Today is my first day at the Yahoo! Launch office in Santa Monica. After two years of working by myself in a home office, it is a thrill to be in a real office environment again. Even though it’s my job to be a computer geek, I supsect that I’m really a “people” person. Many […]
