The World Celebrates 300 Posts on finkorswim.com
Today we are celebrating 300 posts on my blog. Hence, the fireworks. (To see the picture I DID NOT use, click here.) When I started blogging 15 months ago I never dreamed I would ever have 300 posts or a respectable, regular readership. As you all know, most blogs rise and fall quicker than the President’s polling numbers. A big reason I have been able to maintain this blog because of you the readers. So I thank you.
I have compiled a nice list of posts worth reading. For some of you it will be review, for others it will be interesting to see some of the things you may have missed. As always I welcome feedback.
Enjoy. (more…)

Another week, another Haveil Havalim.
This week’s round-up is hosted by “How To Be An Israeli”. A number of excellent blog posts from the week that was are linked.
An excellent job all around.
My Book Review of DovBear on the Parsha is mentioned with a very nice comment:
Rabbi Fink talks of being swept away by DovBear’s passion and insight; I felt the same way about reading this post!
Thanks for the mention.

Once again a very talented Jewish blogger has provided the weekly Haveil Havalim Jewish Blog Round-up.
This week it is hosted by A Time of the Signs.
I am mentioned not once, but twice in the round-up. Once for my Michael Jackson post and once more for my guest post on DovBear about Onymous vs. Anonymous blogging which was cross-posted on my blog as well.
Thank you Toby for the mentions! You can find all the links by clicking through. (more…)

Another Sunday, another Haveil Havalim
The weekly Haveil Havalim roundup of the Jewish blogs is hosted this week by Ima on and off the Bima.
You can find a tremendous number of blogs and articles from this past week. Certainly there is more than enough reading material for a little while.
My post about the plight of Mideastern Jewry that was written the morning of the Holocaust Museum Shooting is mentioned.
Thank you to “Ima” for including me, hosting the round up and doing all the work to sort through all the Jewish blogs!
Click below to see the “round up”.

The weekly Haveil Havalim roundup of the Jewish blogs is hosted this week by Esser Agaroth.
You can find a truly astounding number of blogs and articles from the week that was. Certainly enough reading material for a little while.
My recent post on LeBron James, his bad sportsmanship and why I athletes are not role models is linked. The Sportsmanship post has now surpassed “The Speed of History” as the most popular post on this blog.
I will not be changing the link on the right hand side of the blog because those are only posts from the First 100. When I get to the next milestone I will do a new “Favorites Post” and add new links.

A great weekly Jewish (mostly) blog roundup called Haveil Havalim has been going strong for 219 rounds.
I just heard of it this week.
That is pretty lame, I am well aware
Anyway, I heard of it thanks to DovBear of http://dovbear.blogspot.com fame.
I got a couple mentions in the post and I do appreciate that.
Read on for the link. (more…)

Well it has been one month for me on the blogging trail. I must say, I quite like it. I like the idea of expressing myself to an infinite (sometimes reluctant) audience. If the world stops being interesting to me then the blog posts will probably end. I don’t think that is going to happen so I am fairly certain you will see more of my thoughts over time and this is in addition to the twice weekly podcasts and essays of my speeches.
I have compiled a brief “best of” for those of you who may have missed some previous posts. The word “and” appears in nearly every post title. Hmmmmm…..
Malcolm Gladwell and Outliers
Madoff 1 and Madoff 2
Bob Costas and Destiny
Kobe Bryant and Preparation
The Ravens and Respect
Children and Manners
Winners and Losers
