Ezzie's Blog Roundup, 5/13

Well, this is certainly going to be interesting...
  • Bad4 gives grades on her Shabbos. At SerandEz. I think we passed...
  • LWY, on a related note, discusses why shidduch lists are not only not evil, but perfectly fine.
  • RafiG shows why mothers should not be sitting baseline at basketball games. (Watch the video and read the comments.)
  • IsraellyCool has the details about the woman who was killed in Israel yesterday. Didn't know anyone was killed? Me neither. Oy.
  • Treppenwitz's son's surgery seems to have been successful, bH, and it's an interesting look into the goings-on at an Israeli hospital.
  • Jameel posts an Ani Iparon story. Hilarious!
  • Sometime commenter Bob Miller asks what to do on a long Shabbos afternoon when one lives "out of town" at BeyondBT.
  • JoeSettler notes that there's only one country that has more trees in 2008 than it did in 2007. Yes, it's Israel.
  • And students everywhere should be wary - some places are starting to not allow laptops to be used for anything but taking notes while in class. (gasp!)
Check it out.

  1. What - only note-taking during class? The horror!

    I once sat in on an uncle's class at Columbia U. Everyone was on a laptop. But he said he was pretty sure they were listening - he once strolled behind the desks to see. I suspect there was a bit of x-ing happening as he passed, but hey, maybe he's truly fascinating.

    I know most of my lecture professors forbade anything more digital than a scientific calculator in class.

  2. I once had a teacher who (after class) flat-out asked me what I was doing on my laptop during. I told him I was taking notes, and he was okay with that. (I neglected to mention that I also sometimes play solitare and that I spent most of class IMing the girl sitting next to me, who was not taking notes, but most of my attention was focused on taking notes, so I felt okay omitting the other stuff).
