Today is JBlogger Convention Day!

Good Morning JBlogosphere! (OK, it's late morning).

Gil has just finished eating a bowl of Cheerios in the Promised Land and got misty eyed when reciting Al-Hamichya. (BTW, IIRC, the "Holy Land" concept is sort of foreign to us, and the term "Promised Land" is much more correct).

Don't forget (how could you?). Today is the JBlogger Conference in Jerusalem (sponsored by Nefesh B'Nefesh and Powered by WebAds) and if you cant show up (don't bother registering to appear in person if you haven't already, the convention is wait listed, over-packed, and standing room only) -- however, you CAN register to see it Broadcast LIVE, ONLINE from the comfort of your own personal space. Actually - the register link is gone, replaced by the Webcast link itself. Regardless, it's here.

CORRECTION - If you haven't registered you can still watch live from the registration page, you just can't participate in the chat room.

The broadcast starts today, at 5:30 PM Israel time, 10:30 AM, New York/Eastern Daylight Savings Time, 8:30 AM HolyHyrax and Jack Pacific Daylight Savings Time -- see you there!

Wherever I am, my blog turns towards Eretz Yisrael טובה הארץ מאד מאד

  7. Ahh, so I have met the great Jameel - the event pictures are here and here.

    I will release the pictures of you at the event so they can find you unless you deliver 5 kilo of waffles by the end of the day. Alternatively, I will accept 50 kilo of hummas. Or 1 sheep.

    You know where to find me.

  9. My post is here and I now have to search Jameel's blog to find his "how to toveil a waffle maker". By the way, did you realize that while "waffle raffle" are spelled the same, you don't prounounce them the same? It's like being Jewish.

  10. I missed you at the convention; I was looking for a yellow smiley face. Zeh lo fair that I couldn't enter the waffle raffle (virtually). I love waffles.
