Yesterday was Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year. (Today might be also; depends on how you keep track.) Yelena & I decided not to go to services this year. I know, surprising, right? This from the guy who wears a kippah, keeps kosher, and blesses God three times a day? Allow me to explain.
Minecraft and Fort Point

You may have heard about this awesome computer game called Minecraft. It's actually been out for a while now, but I've held off on blogging about it, for one very good reason.

And it freaked out a client, which is not cool.

Yes, I'm going to talk about the royal wedding. The outfits, no less. I'm more interested in the men's uniforms, of course, but first a tip of the hat has to go to Princess Kate's dress, which was an obvious homage to American actress Grace Kelly, who also married into European royalty. In another apparent homage to the United States, Kate had a Maid of Honor, which apparently isn't usually done in England. Classy.
