Teaching an old keyboard new tricks
So did you hear the big announcement today? No, not the iPod announcements coming from Moscone West, the other groundreaking announcement of the day. Getting little press today, because of the SteveNote, is a small application released by Microsoft called The Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator that has major impact on the Modern Orthodox Jew.

World Conference Against Racism is just as racist as it was 6 years ago.
The Second World Conference Against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance took place last week, once again in Durban, South Africa. For those of you who don’t remember, the last time this conference was held was in August 2001, and at that time it turned into such an obvious propaganda platform for anti-America and [...]

More Kosher Food!

Swallowed Whole, And Choking On It
It seems like everyone is in a conquering mood. While I will try to not be too political in this column, it’s hard to argue that the United States is in an imperialist phase these days, taking over countries left and right (I will avoid the obvious pun). Not to say that that isn’t positive, [...]
