Pulver Dating Service

If you know about Jeff Pulver then you know he’s a futuristic technology sort of guru guy who predicts where we’re headed and creates the vessel for getting there.
Take VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol). That’s Jeff.
He’s the co-founder of Vonage and he pushed FCC legislature a few years ago with “The Pulver Order”.
He’s also the globe-trotting guy behind uber successful “Social Networking Breakfasts”.
Last week he held one such breakfast in Tel Aviv. And we @ Israelity (that would be moi-self) were in attendance.
And in talking to Mr. Pulver, found out. . .
That the impetus behind his social networking breakfasts was Harvey Weinstein. While attending a NYC benefit with the famous mega-producer, Pulver was at a loss for ice-breaking words. When his attempt at striking up a conversation with Weinstein fell flat – “So you like poker?” he posed, referring to Weinstein’s Miramax-backed film Rounders.
Nope came Weinstein’s stilted reply – Pulver pondered: How do business people do this? How do they break the ice with each other on a routine basis?
Thus was born his “tagline” social breakfast networking event concept. You’ll have to read about them to know how it works. But he took a simple idea from the Internet world of taglines and translated it back to face-to-face interaction. And it works. Well.
Next up in Pulver’s idea forum? Dating events following the same theme.
Only problem is how to appropriately “stick” the sticky notes.

Katrina Yellow of The mad bad and crazee life of me (that’s not a blog title; that’s a book chapter!) traveled to Israel’s desert for a bit of R&R prior to giving birth.
1) Honey you’ll need it. SLEEP WHILE YOU CAN!!! (consider yourself warned)
2) Katrina & travel partner-in-crime Bob came across this sign in Israel’s Dimona’s Desert outskirts.
What was that about Israel and subtlety? Oops. Wrong country. My bad.
Amy’s Coming
Dear Amy honey:
Never mind that it didn’t work out the 1st time. 2nd time’s the charm…isn’t that how the saying goes?
Pack your things and get over here already. If any place’ll sober you up quicker than you can say “No, No, No” it’s this one.
What to pack? Keep it light. Summer, you know? In fact, the hospital issue gown should do the trick nicely.
And never mind the public denials or what they say about “dangerous procedure” , “experimental” and “neuro-regulate-what?”
You’re in good hands.
Shalom. See you in the Promised Land.
