Kesher Talk

Lazy times in Austin. I didn't go to my friend Adina's panel yesterday (on Effective Social Networks) because I was saving my free SXSW day pass for today so I could see the Weblog Awards, but I got lazy and blew that off too. But Heath Row transcribed the panel.

I sat on my friends' deck and watched cardinals, titmice, chickadees, goldfinches, and red-headed woodpeckers cavort around their backyard, and practiced the haftarah I am chanting this coming Shabbat at one of my congregations' New Member Shabbat, back in NYC. (I've got to learn it well enough to do a dress rehearsal with the cantor before Friday - I've chanted many haftorot, but not at that shul before.) Tonight - pizza with my longest-known friends in Austin. I knew them before they were married and now they have blindingly cute 5 and 3 year old boys.

I will use my pass tomorrow for the exhibit hall, visit the HerDomain booth, collect whatever pathetic freebies tech companies are giving away in this economic climate, and roam around the evening parties. I have been getting into intense political arguments with several HDers on our email list - I wonder if I will run into them. Of course we are all much more polite in person than we are online.
