New Yakar Site Live

31-Aug-05

While it’s not “done-done” yet, it’s mostly done, so here’s the new Yakar website, designed, hosted & coded by yours-truly.
Also check out the ad campaign I’ve designed and am coordinating to promote their Human Rights yeshiva starting October 30.

If you’d be willing to toss a banner spot up on your site to help [...]

In Defense Of A Former Flatmate

31-Aug-05

The NGO Monitor — a project of the right-wing Jerusalem Center For Public Affairs — has, in its targetting of the New Israel Fund as an allegedly anti-Zionist organizaiton — targetted my former flatmate Joseph Berman, branding him, essentially, an enemy of the state of Israel. Being that I’m the one who pushed him [...]

Infuriating Incidences of Ignorance

28-Aug-05

Last night I went out with my friend, a volunteer with ICAHD, and her friend, an Irish volunteer with Doctors For Human Rights who has been working in Gaza interviewing victims of Israeli torture. Obviously what began as light conversation over a friendly drink could only end up a heated debate.
Question: [...]

Quitting Qatif

24-Aug-05

I got interviewed for this piece but apparently didn’t make it in. A little upsetting that the author chose a bunch of extremist right-wingers to represent the Israeli viewpoint in his list of links. Not every Israeli is an Arab-hating, pro-settlement lunatic. In fact, most aren’t.
[Update] The author included my [...]

Can Hip-Hop Heal?

Check out my column on Corner Prophets at Israel21C (which Allison chopped to bits). I admittedly lifted some copy from my piece on the anarchist kibbutz, but hey, it’s my copy and I’ll do what I want with it.

Fare Thee Well

It was a hot August morning. I was awoken by the sound of a vaccuum cleaner and was abruptly handed a telephone by my mother. My friend Kate was on the phone. “Dan, I’m so [...]

I’m spinning at Noc on Tuesday night (Feingold’s Field, Nakhalat Shiva, next to Adom), and Corner Prophets’ Old Jeruz Cipher #8 will be taking place Tuesday, August 30th at the Khan Theatre as part of The C-Sides Festival.

Would love to get your take on what is going on in Israel right now, I’m glued to the news.

what’s going on right now is painful. i feel for the families yet find it difficult to fathom their shock and suprise as it’s been [...]

Million Dollar Question

15-Aug-05

What the hell is this all about? Both these scripts worked before. So my only guess is that something in the configuration of PHP has changed on the new server. What might that be? Which settings in php.ini need tweaking? E-mail me if you know the answer.

15-Aug-05

It’s hott up in this beyotch. And I don’t just mean the weather (which will break 100 degrees today). Check out my latest article in Haaretz (it’s in a supplement for visiting journalists) on Jerusalem’s finest digs and danceparties.
