Thank you to JOPP!

I just got back from a workshop run by the JOPP. What a blast! I was really honored with the chance to give a talk to a fantastic crowd with good questions. Thank you to all the fine folks over at JOPP and all the people who showed up to listen to me rant about [ READ MORE ]

Not your Mama’s skin condition

I just got done watching Ben-Hur with my girlfriend Sarah and it was the first time I had seen it in several years. Naturally, we were prompted to check the Leprosy article on Wikipedia. Much to my surprise, it would seem that there is a difference between true Leprosy and the biblical plague known as [ READ MORE ]

Things To Learn

  • Posted in Uncategorized

I have not had a great deal of time recently. That being said, I have accrued a list of subjects I desire to learn and technologies I wish to become familiar with.

Begging Forgiveness

I would like to take this opportunity to appologize for any hurt or wrongdoing that I have incurred upon you over the past year.

Back From Camp

Back from camp. It was an absolutely wonderful summer. I’ve been back for a week and have been enjoying the chance to unpack and sleep (On the subject of sleep, I’m suffering from a bit of the phase shift). In more recent news, my father was kind enough to let me use his old desktop as [ READ MORE ]

Brit Sheker

In looking over the official website of Brit Tzedek v’Shalom, I have come to a conclusion: This organization is misleading. This may seem harsh at first. Let’s break it down. A Google search for the word “Israel” on the BTVS website yields “about 15,100” results. A Google search for the word “Palestinian” yields “about 12,700” results. A Google [ READ MORE ]
