The Jewish Channel's Coverage of the JES Presentation


While the $100,000 number is overstated (I didn't mean it for everyone), the point itself is a good (and scary) one. The Jewish Channel picked out pretty good excerpts for this shorter clip for their online Week in Review. A huge thanks to Rebecca Honig Friedman and her crew at TJC for coming out, filming, and interviewing myself and others, and doing a very good job at presenting everything well. And again, thanks to Pazit and Mt. Sinai for sponsoring and hosting the event.

I'll have to see if I can get the full version somehow.

Notes to self: Presentations during sfira will look scruffy and shaggy. And get new glasses. :)

  4. I dunno. Probably met over 100...?

  6. you don't know? Seriously? You don't have a full list? LOL
    Wow, over 100 is a lot. Do you actually read over 100 blogs on a steady basis?

  7. SaraK - Thanks :)

    SD - Yeah, I lost track a long time ago. I had a list back in the day, maybe I'll update it, but I'm definitely going to forget people.

    My Google Reader says I have 246 subscriptions, almost all of which are blogs. I don't read everything on a lot of them, though - there are probably a few dozen that I read basically every post of, and not all post every day; some are "dead" blogs.

  8. whoa, how much time do you spend reading blogs??

  9. Not a ton. Google Reader makes it super easy to see whether I'll be interested in a post (especially for people who publish full feeds), and figure a lot don't post too often.

    I probably spend more time scrolling than reading.

    I'd say actual reading time is less than an hour a day, including comments. If I'm commenting myself (which I do rarely), it shoots up (which is why).

  10. I see...they need to make a google reader app for the ipod touch. I can't use it properly on my ipod, which is the only way I'll be reading blog posts.

  11. You actually got me intrigued. :)

    Reader says that my subscriptions posted 6,120 times in the last 30 days, or 204 a day. The top 20 make up 4,666 of those. Of those top 20, I'd estimate I actually read about 5% of the posts - about 7 a day.

    (Yeshiva World, Matzav, and Vos Iz Naies are 1,800 of them - I only read something that catches my attention; Deadspin, Dealbreaker, ZeroHedge, and Freakonomics are another 1,700, and again, same thing. It would be 1% or so if not for WaitingForNextYear, a Cleveland sports blog on which I read close to half the posts.)

    That leaves 1,500 posts or so among all the other blogs, and I probably read 1/5 of them, or another 10 a day. Basically, I probably read in full about 20 posts a day by my estimations here. That sounds a little low, though; I'm guessing it's a little higher than that.

  12. Wow that was seriously mathematical I could barely follow. lol
    And subscribing to YWN, VIN and matzav-oh my, I didn't realize people do that. :-p
    All that in under an hour? Have you taken some sort of course in speed reading?

  13. Figure the average post is 2/3 of a page...? At 20-30 a day that I actually read, plus skimming some comments, how long should it take? Again - not including writing comments. Writing comments takes waaay longer.

    Plus, I read pretty fast, and skim a lot.
