I've been slacking off
Yeah. I do need to get more serious about wrting to the blog. Lately I feel I've been mostly “hanging on” rather than charging forward with the tech vengeance I had. I've been so tied up with the new job, that I can't…

A directory of Israeli weblogs
I just discovered a directory of Israeli weblogs . I never imagined there were so much (but still so little) of them. Most of them are in hebrew, and are hands down b-o-r-i-n-g. Still, it's good to know our country is…

The blogger chain letter?
Hmm. Could this be the start of the blogger chain-letter of the future? I wonder if implementing such an idea here on .NetWeblogs might be viable. I know I'd like to see the "celebrity" bloggers answer 5 interview…
