Planning a trip the 21st-century way

Saturday, April 5th, 2008

In June and July 2008, I’m going from Seattle to Providence to New York to Rome to Tuscany to Venice to New York to Seattle with a backpack full of digital goodies.

The Most Patriotic Hotel Ever

Tuesday, July 25th, 2006

Last weekend I traveled back to Pennsylvania for the first time since my move to Seattle. The occasion: my friend Jeremy’s wedding at the German Cultural Heritage Center in the shadows of his alma mater, Kutztown University.

Weill in Israel: The Rest

Monday, May 22nd, 2006

During the week of May 1-5 I lived on Kibbutz Givat Brenner in Rehovot, Israel, and spent a little time seeing the sights in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. For more detail see my previous write-ups about the trip.
While I travel I keep note of “tidbits,” little bits of information that I think […]

Weill in Israel: Jerusalem

Saturday, May 20th, 2006

Two weeks ago I visited Israel for the first time. I lived on Kibbutz Givat Brenner with some of my distant relatives and visited some of the sights in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem during my one-week journey. I’ve already been asked when I’m coming back; the short answer is “I don’t know yet.”

I’m Going West

“Be prepared to accept a wondrous opportunity in the days ahead!” — fortune cookie, April 10, 2006
I’m going to Seattle in late May to accept a position with Amazon.com’s Direct Traffic team — they’re the folks who send personalized content to you by e-mail and on the web site. As always I won’t comment […]

Gray Days in Austin

Friday, February 24th, 2006

I’ve been 25 for a little more than a week now. We celebrated with what has become a tradition among my friends: an outing to Green Forest, a Brazilian-style churrascaria where generous portions of meat are served rodizio-style at the table. It was also Kristin’s birthday so we had a decent crowd in […]
