The Climate Change Scandal and the Importance of Good Code

December 10, 2009

Vicki’s note: I decided to take down the previous post I had because, upon reflection, it wasn’t consistent with my website content and additionally, I can see it leading to long discussions of the type that I don’t necessarily want to have on this blog. Instead, today, I have a guest post from Mr B (wooo!) on the importance of validity of code, and in general, of continuing to learn new methods and processes for more efficiency on the job. ...

Guest Post: On Being Twenty-Three (And Adopting a New Life Philosophy)

September 4, 2009

Note: I first met Julie on Twitter, but also in person at our DC Jews Tweetup.  Julie is pretty cool because not only does she work in social media, but she eavesdrops on people speaking Russian because many times, they can’t tell that she speaks it. Julie was born in Moscow, Russia and moved to the United States with her mother shortly before the dissolution of the Soviet Union. She spent her formative years in Lexington, Massachusetts and attended the University of Maryland where ...

September 3, 2009

Note: This guest post is by @Krolik, whom I’ve had the pleasure of meeting in person for coffee before she ran off to her ballet lesson and I ran off, embarassed that I’ve never taken ballet and a bit sad that my parents denied me pink tutus.  She has a lovely blog, Project Wombat, about raising her son, and is very funny.  I’ve never had political posts before, so let it be said that I don’t necessarily agree or disagree ...

Guest Post: Jew Tattoos and Piercings, Too

August 31, 2009

Note: While I remain in the Land of Falafel, this is a guest post from my fabulous friend Average Jane, or @awapy on Twitter, who’s bailed me out before. Via Zeeveez on Flickr I started working at my campus’ Hillel at 8 – piercing number 8. I was a good, smart kid, active in Hillel, with a stellar resume, they couldn’t really say “no.” I was working for the regional director (a rabbi) and his Frummie assistant doing fundraising. There ...

Guest Post: Russian Protocol for Safe Travel

August 27, 2009

Note: If you are reading this post, then we are in Israel and I am definitely not posting anytime soon because I am too busy eating falafel/singlehandedly fighting Hamas.    Today’s guest post is from Marinka, who is also a Russian Jew, and therefore also inherently awesome.  Except, she also has kids AND a cat named Nicki, all of which she deals with deftly and with a sharp wit, so she might just be more awesome than me.  Maybe. The first ...
