Links for September 20th

Mishegaas

I’m trying a different del.icio.us bookmark post thingy now… I like this one better. Less clutter. But more clutter from links because today I convinced JTA to start using del.icio.us to share articles we think are “must-reads” with one another. So I started adding all the things I don’t think OA readers care about, but that I think the larger Jewish community may. Now I’m trying to find out if there’s a way w/ this plugin to block entries that contain specific tags, so I don’t automatically post my JTA-intended links here on OA. Hopefully I’ll get that sorted sooner than later.

    Ha Ha! Click on the link in the “Night of Jew” to watch the trailer.
    Thank you, Ms. Lohan.

    The dollar’s cheap at the moment. Mmmm, I’ll be certain to be back to NYC soon to do some shopping. (Coffee, anyone?)

    A guten yontef, Dan.

    The Euro sells for $1.42 today…

    I miss the weak euro and the cheap music gear that was to be had =(
    Just got a VCO from germany. Pretty sexy, but pretty pricy too.

  5. Sarah says:

    When I first was in NYC over New Year’s five years ago (ouch, I’m getting old), the US Dollar sold at 1.23 Euros.

  6. Ray says:

    When I bought my QMF hm, probably 7 or 8 years ago, the dollar was pretty strong vs the euro, and even stronger vs the swiss franc (which is the currency I used to pay for it).

    Not sure why any sane person would want to be in NYC for New Year’s. Crowds, long lines, traffic, and loud noises irritate me, because i AM old.

  7. Sarah says:

    The way they sell New Year’s in NYC over here is that it is some spectacular event (which it is not). It’s pretty lame considered even to the tiniest New Year’s parties I’ve been to over here; maybe that’s also because folks in my profession always have some social activities / games at hand, plus whenever you put a few Germans (and a decent amount of alcholic beverages) into one room, they start singing (the Germans, that is). But I have occasionally suffered from tinnitus as well since I fractured my skull in a motorbike accident.

    Ray, may I ask how old you are?

  8. Ray says:

    60, and I look great for my age.

  9. Ray says:

    Hm, without a visual, my last statement isn’t actually as funny as if someone were standing in front of me speaking and i said that. I’m 31.

  10. Sarah says:

    Oyish, I’m 28. If 31 is old, I’ve got reason to be depressed.
