This week I posted five posts related to online religion, including an article about selling hijabs online, a link to a blog post about iPhone4 as religion, an introduction to my collection of articles on the topic, a series of YouTube videos on “The Practice of Religion in Cyberspace” and excerpts on an article about the relaunching of the mormon.org site.
At my Jewish Social Media blog I posted 10 short pointers to a shmooz in NYC, social media guidebook, an article about peoplehood meaning less for Jewish youth, a viral video about the flotilla incident, the UN’s 18th International Media Seminar, FaceType, a roundup about the Future of Jewish Nonprofit Summit, a survey about social networking, a job ad, about non-profits being ahead of the curve using social media.
On my Sefarim (Kabbalah books) blog I posted 6 entries, including about a book I just became aware of (Eichenstein: Turn Aside from Evil and Do Good), an article connecting Harry Potter and Kabbalah, the latest volume of a journal (Kabbalah: Journal for the Study of Jewish Mystical Texts, volume 21), an upcoming book about Kabbalah through humor (Krause: Hey waiter), an autobiography that came out in April (Halevi: The Path of a Kabbalist) and a post about finding Kabbalah in the new movie Inception.
The six entry for my blog about/for Forestville were about who was playing at the Sarah’s Forestville Kitchen on Sunday, introducing Mosaic restaurant’s Facebook page, a quote from a local wine expert, an announcement for Hollydale’s pancake breakfast/rummage sale, an update about the new fire tax and the lineup for the Forestville Club’s Saturday night show.
On the personal side we started off the week with a mini vacation on Pebble Beach Obviously I couldn’t make pictures of our garden on those days, so I only posted pics for the second half of the week. On the other hand I made more than usual pictures of our daughter during the vacation, but then I lagged in the later part of the week. My wife and daughter got cold on alternate days. That’s sad, but as they were staying home I could go and check out the movie Inception. I wrote up a few reflections. We also got a tune-up for our car. It was time at 50,000 miles.
I decided to include a picture of myself for each week’s summary. Here is a picture of me in mirror of an alley of Santa Rosa downtown:
