Prelude

Welcome to Dice With the Universe!

Generally, I am going to put some thoughts from my life here. They will usually have to do with my translation work or with my writing. Your comments are welcome.

Thanks.

The title of the blog, for those interested, is a part of a paraphrase of Albert Einstein's words -- "God doesn't play dice with the universe." The words originally meant Einstein's scepticism about Quantum Physics (that gives a statistical chance of an event occurring), but I use this phrase as a general guideline to life. Things don't happen randomly. If we want to succeed we need to make it happen ourselves.

Welcome again. Enjoy your stay.

Recap

Hi there. I started writing several posts before I actually started a blog,and posted them on my website. Now, that I have a blog, I will repost them here.

January 7th, 2010

10:00 It's really cold outside. The sun makes some small effort to appear, but not too much. After yesterday's storm I expected to shovel all through the morning. Thankfully, some good soul cleared our building's driveway before me. The last two times were fun, because it was relatively warm, but today it would have been a real drag. So, I am raising my cup of coffee for that soul.

Maccabi plays today and I am yet to figure out how the live tv on the Euroleague's site works. Well, they qualified, so I wouldn't miss too much, but I better figure this out before the next round.

The dude from London hadn't answered yet. I hope he does. The work seems interesting and pays well.

I am going to get the parts of this site in Hebrew and Russian up and running today. Wish me luck (if there is anybody reading this :) )

Tuning off for now

15:00

Well, Maccabi had won. A pretty good game in the second half. But what's the deal with the free throws. I think some guys had a better percentage from the three than from the free throw line.

For the money Euroleague.tv charges they sure give a pretty shitty picture. I'll have to look for an alternative. I have to say that I also miss Niv Raskin and Ofer Shelach.

You'll have to excuse me (if there is anybody reading this), I am still trying to get used to this thing and improve it.

Attempts to make the Hebrew and Russian parts of the site up and running had failed so far. I'll try again later.

I am planning to finish editing "Something for Nothing" for the On the Premises magazine. Hopefu, next week I am going to start editing "The Gathering Clouds" again, and maybe writing some of the stories I somewhat abandoned due to the relocation and the job from Simanim.
