What works:It finds my wireless network and shows connected bars.What doesn't work:When I try to connect to anything I get either: "Safari is not connected to the internet" OR "the server stopped responding." I have tried typing in IP addresses directly and I still get the latter message, so I believe the problem is more than just a DNS problem. I believe it has to do with some sort of router

1. I speak Hebrew2. I used to write songs. A lot. Good ones. I don't anymore.3. I used to play bass. In a punky/rock and roll riot grrl/spinal tap kind of band. I don't anymore.4. I lived in Israel for most of 9th grade and loved it so much I went back for 10th grade even though it meant living away from my Mom (and my Dad had just recently died).5. I traveled around Europe on my own on my way

I need to blog and I know it. I've always been challenged by ubiquitous capture. I have thoughts sometimes that tumble out in complete sentences and beg to be committed to paper when paper is not there. The discipline of blogging would help me exercise my writing muscles consistently.

So, I guess I am resurrecting this blog today. Now it is going to be TMI about my parenting journey.I watched a very interesting DVD of Alfie Kohn lecturing called Unconditional Parenting. Twice. Then I checked his book out of the library, and now it's overdue, and I really need to return it, so I bought a used copy on Amazon and I'm waiting for it to come.I need to make some notes before I

Well, I haven't blogged here in seven months. Life keeps me busy. And who knows, it may be seven years before I blog here again, considering that we have a baby on the way!I have a baby registry at Amazon.com, but it isn't very versatile. In fact, it won't even let me list items from Amazon's apparel stores, so I started adding some clothing items to my regular Amazon wish list.I really don't

I wish I had a laptop (titanium, natch) and wireless access so I could write in here when I'm on the road. Why don't I ever post in here? Well, I have some plans for this spot, but we'll just have to see if they manifest. Or maybe I'll start a whole new blog for my plans (transferring past scribblings). I wonder how many blogs blogger will let you create?

There are 47,200 hits for "blood sisters" (exact phrase) on Google today. That's a good thing.

This is the best live interactive website ever. I never would have found out about this if it wasn't for Orkut. Subservient Chicken

In Orkut land there is a lot of pressure to be witty, or sarcastic, or at least vaguely amusing. You would think that would be intimidating, but somehow one gets inspired very easily. Of course, it's a lot easier in communities that already have a humorous bent, such as I Never Had Sex with the Pope. By the way, if any of you are NOT members of that community, I suggest you contact the National

At first I thought Orkut was pretty boring. Then I got a little titillated by the whole Adam Rifkin thing, the laser thing, the jail thing, the "I never had sex with the Pope" thing. I tell ya, it's strangely addicting. And it's giving me a repetitive motion stress injury. Fie on you, Orkut!!

Wow, I feel so five minutes ago. In other words, old. My niece has her own blog. Being involved in the Internet is like breathing air to her - at age six she was taking notes on how to code a hyperlink.

Not really. It's just that I didn't get all the things done over the break that I'd wanted to. However, everyone else I spoke to at work feels the same way. So I'm not alone. Also, I've taken a walk every day for the last three days. Yesterday, a really long one with J, exploring new neighborhoods.

I was putting way too much personal stuff on my supposedly "professional" blog. So I started this puppy to satisfy my confessional spirit. Also possibly to flesh out a long forgotten project that I made room for on my very first personal website - a web of poetry and prose gleaned from those overstuffed shoeboxes and notebooks. Well, actually, I don't keep any of my old scribblings in shoeboxes,
