  • At the Jewish Business Network Event Today

    I went to the Jewish Business Network event at Vinyl in Philly today. Israel sits heavy on my heart, but I wanted to be with the community. I wrapped Tefillin for the first time in my life (I’m not religious), but when the Rabbi asked me to do a Mitzvah (a good deed) and do…

  • Israel… Gaza… Hamas… Terror

    It’s been a few days since Hamas attacked Israel and killed around 1200 Israelis (*latest estimate that I hear). From what I read these terrorists were indiscriminate. They killed everyone in their sight. Men, Women, Children… BABIES. It’s absolutely horrifying. I’ve also seen that in pure size/ratio this attack on Israel, based on population, is…

  • Walking In Support Of Gaza Right Now Is Cheering Terrorism

    I’m so disturbed this morning to see a “former” acquaintance of mine pretty much say that the terror attacks on Israel were justified because of how the Palestinians have been treated by Israel. To that person. Terrorism is NEVER OKAY. Get that through your thick skull. More than 700 innocent Israelis and foreigners were killed…

  • Israel At War Again

    Let’s get this out of the way. I stand with Israel and its people after this horrific attack. Yesterday morning Israel was attacked by Hamas who invaded Israel in the south by air, sea, and land. The terrorists not only took over some Israeli territory, but kill innocent civilians and took hostages back into Gaza.…

  • Having A Good Host And Knowing Who Runs It Helps

    I was at Flywheel for the longest time. They are a good service. But they lost their personal touch when the were acquired by WPEngine. I recently moved 40 sites to Rocket.net (affiliate link). And I’m very happy with them. Just yesterday, I stupidly deleted a former client’s site without first grabbing a backup. I…

  • Extremely Online… Taylor Lorenz’s New Book Is Out!

    It came with a thud on my front step. I had forgotten I ordered it to be honest. Taylor Lorenz’s new book on social media and influence online Extremely Online looks absolutely amazing. I’ve been a fan of Lorenz since she worked at the New York Times. Her coverage of social media and the Internet…

  • Well That’s Interesting… The Twenty Twenty-Four Theme Beta Won’t Run ON 4.3.1

    I just tried to update the beta of the Twenty Twenty-Four theme from its Github repository only to be met with a fail message that I needed WordPress 4.2 to run it. I guess I’m waiting to update the theme until 4.2. It just seems stupid to have a beta out of a theme that’s…

  • Happy Tuesday, Which Feels Like A Monday

    Happy Tuesday! For me it feels like a Monday, because yesterday was Yom Kippur. It was a great day of reflection and evaluating what I need to do in my life to make things work more smoothly. I also evaluated who I want to be as a person, a father, a husband, a business owner,…

  • Reflections – Yom Kippur 2023

    This might be a new tradition on Yom Kippur. Journaling my thoughts about life, what I can do better, and anything else. I always have a hard time figuring out what to do on this holiday. I’ve struggled with my religious identity for a while. I’m a Jew. With a name like Seth Goldstein, it’s…

  • NFC/QR Business Cards. A Better Way Than Paper Cards

    I’m a big fan of these new-fangled NFC/QR code business cards. Their are so many vendors out there, I’ve tried three. I first tried V1ce, to be honest the name doesn’t really help them. But it worked decent. But people were reluctant to download my card coming from a site called V1ce for obvious reasons.…
