I had the pleasure of listening to Dan Ariely at UXI Live conference in Israel. He’s a real rock star in our house. My eldest daughter decided that she wanted to learn behavioral economics after reading his book, Predictably Irrational. She’s studying economics and psychology at Hebrew University. Having the opportunity to hear him in […]
I’ve been lucky enough to go to quite a few conferences in the past few years. With each I learn something new. I’ve been to SEO, social media, wiki and technology conferences (I know, I’m a big geek), but BlogPaws was my first blogging conference. What made it all the more interesting is that it […]
My friend RivkA died on Friday. She was only 44 years old. She died of cancer. A lot of people die of cancer, but what was really special about RivkA is about how she lived with cancer. [youtube]tgHsZ_kEVuA[/youtube] RivkA had a very interesting way of dealing with her illness. She would set up chemotherapy dates […]
I love working on The Pet Wiki. It’s really amazing how much incredible and useful information keeps being added. It’s a lot of fun watching the traffic grow and more users register with the site. It’s far from done, not that a website can ever truly be done, but there are some very major features […]
I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. The more people that I deal with, the more that I realize that people are good. I’ve been running a T-shirt giveaway for The Pet Wiki for the last couple of weeks. The only thing that I ask of people is that they post a picture of […]
This Passover has been a very interesting experience. After working in an office for so many years, working at home has been a real treat. I was much more relaxed than ever before about getting everything that needed to get done, done. There’s always a ton to do before the holiday. With a lot of […]
I love animals. I have all my life. I’ve had dogs, birds, rabbits, fish turtles, gerbils – you name it – but the animals that most speaks to my soul are cats. Yes, I’m one of those cat people that you’ve heard about. I am lucky to share my home with three of these precious […]
No, this post is not about another get rich scheme. I was recently at a conference where the discussion of making money on Twitter came up. What I got out of it was that there was basically no way to make money directly through social media. At least not short term money. That just ain’t […]
[picappgallerysingle id=”7840639″]I live in Israel. Yesterday was the Super Bowl. I’m not that into football, but my husband and son are, and I’m originally from Dallas, so a Super Bowl Sunday can’t go by without some sort of recognition. We had the most American food that I could think of for supper (hot dogs and […]
Last week was a bit of a frustrating week for me. I cut my leg pretty badly and spent most of the time in bed. Luckily, I have a laptop, so I was able to push on with work. At least that’s what I thought I’d do. I am a huge fan of the MediaWiki […]
