"Mixing holidays"
04/20/2003 Entry

I had lunch with some undergrad friends in a dining hall today. The Easter theme was quite obvious which was funny because most people who ate lunch on campus today are either Jews or other people who don't celebrate Easter. It was also funny to see the sign say: "Happy Easter, Happy Passover! Today's menu: ham [...]" (For those not in the know, ham is not exactly "Kosher for Passover".)

A funny observation by my friend Zach: It's not fair, the Jews eat all week and then they close the gym. (I'm assuming the univ gym is closed today due to Easter.)

Blogs I Visit





The small print

A few words on what I will and will not post on this blog (taken from my E-LIST entry of January 2, 2002). I have nothing against posting commercial sites as long as they come highly recommended. In fact, I'm quite interested in improving informed consumer choice so I'm very curious to hear about good experiences with online retailers. What I will refrain from posting are sites that require plug-ins or programs that are painful to deal with. Example: I will not post anything that only works with RealOne/RealPlayer as that program is intrusive and annoying beyond belief and I am not willing to reinstall it on my machine (it was hard enough to get rid of it completely in the first place) nor do I want to encourage others to have it. If your site has audio content, please make it available in multiple formats or choose one that can be run on multiple players (e.g. .avi).
