Note to Self: Part 3
Jan 23rd, 2011
OK, readers. Mak is Back for the 3rd installment.
(Hint: In the chat room chapter below he is Hands_Solo. In case you don't get that right away.)
A note: When I wrote this back in 2000, there was no social media, only chat rooms and message boards. I was one of the first 700,000 people on ICQ, before it was bought out by AOL. It was all research, of course. That goes without saying.

The Highly Practical Mrs. Parker
Dec 9th, 2010
"I'd like to have money. And I'd like to be a good writer. These two can come together, and I hope they will, but if that's too adorable, I'd rather have money." - Dorothy Parker
// I saw this quote about a year ago and tried to feel offended, as a purist, roughly - - if one can be roughly a purist, which in itself sounds kind of ironically Parker-esque. But then I had an interesting year.

TEDx in Jerusalem: In Search of the Greater Good
Nov 17th, 2010
A world renowned physicist, a brilliant bio-tech founder, and a celebrated science biographer walk into a Hillel house… and raise the bar. The recent TEDx ‘Talpiot’ event in Jerusalem, in a word, made me feel late.

Triangle Triptych
Nov 8th, 2010
I know it’s autumn because the yearly Torah reading cycle is back at Genesis, with all of the complex internecine business – Betrayal! Sex! Murder! – that being human, even the kind that talks to God, seems to brings with it. It’s the time of year I like to bring out my biblical poetry (every girl needs some in her repertoire, no?) and post it for the four or six people who appreciate it. Specifically, I am fascinated by the world’s original love triangle, sparked, I think, by the world’s original overprotective mother…..

Defining Moments
Oct 25th, 2010
Bless me readers, for I have sinned. I’ve abandoned this post for way too long. My virtual disappearance does not point to an actual disappearance, however….only to falling down the well of September holidays / community life / motherhood / daughterhood / work (you know - the kind that pays me.)
I’ve always been a good juggler, but flying trapeze artist was beyond my set of talents. (Tightrope, I do better. But that’s for another post, on religion.) In any event, I guess I fell off.
