Back to posting - Sporadically

Thanks to all of the commenters, emailers and callers for your kind wishes on the birth of our daughter Batsheva (she was named on Shabbat). Yaffa and I really appreciate it. I am still thinking about a new name for the blog so keep the suggestions coming. I will still be posting sporadically due to paternity leave but I wanted to post a hodgepodge of some interesting links that have come my way recently:

1. This is the coolest resume I have ever seen (thanks Sigal for sending).

2. Interesting article by Dunacn Currie in the Weekly Standard, quoting extensively from my very eloquent former partner Jon Medved. The upshot of the article in my mind is that the cream of the crop of our country's citizens is in the business world and not in politics. That is a bit scary in a country where the political echelon is so intertwined in daily life and personal security.

3. The Blogosphere (in all languages) is abuzz about Zlango, a company Benchmark announced an investment in a couple of weeks ago (Techcrunch post). The announcement, written in Zlango, was a lot of fun. Check out the site. It is pretty addictive.

4. One of the benefits of citizen journalism or the blogosphere (more on this in an upcoming post) is you can acquire "talent and titles" by association only. I penned an article in Scoop about a winery I visited called Tanya and now a friend sent me the following ad from a newspaper in Jerusalem. Read the small print! Hilarious.

If you can't read the small print, it says:
""The wine was fantastic. Some of the best I tasted, if not the best." (Scoop Website, Michael Eisenberg, Wine Critic)"

The wine truly is great but me, a wine critic, that is a tad far-fetched.
