About Me

I'm a professional blogger, internet professional, and game designer living in Jerusalem, Israel.

I'm 39 years old, married with two children and two step-children, and have been programming since I was 8 years old (starting on a PDP-11). A total geek.

I'm passionate about the Internet, especially its effect on culture and technology, as well as writing, ethics and manners, my wife and children, my Judaism, and board games - not necessarily in that order. Actually, I'm passionate about many other things; you can read about most of these things on my blog.

My articles have appeared on major blogs around the world, been printed in various game, technical, and legal journals, and (apparently) hang on a few walls. My first published game came out this summer and is doing well.

My online resumé is here. A more traditional resumé is also available upon request.

About My Blogs

Yehuda mostly covers board games, but also contains my random thoughts on ethics, culture, philosophy, law, technology, politics, and lord knows what else.

The blog contains too many subjects, actually, but when asked, my readers preferred it this way rather than having me split up the blog. Silly readers. Instead, use the labels to find just the topics you want.

I try to list my best posts in the Highlights on the left side of the blog. My most popular posts appear to be:

• 60 second primer on modern board games,
• 100+ Ways to Rejuvenate the Games You Already Own,
• my continuously updated 1000+ Monopoly Versions (now over 1500),
• 7 Steps to Creating Quality,
• the various legal codes I've translated into humorous verses (such as the U.S. Copyright Code),
• and some of my literature parodies.

Please enjoy them.

Yehuda also links to good board and card games for starting players and just about every active and interesting game blog that I know, as well as some excellent Jewish, Israeli, and Technology blogs.

Purple Pawn is a blog devoted solely to game news for all types of tabletop games.

I write sporadically for Good Neighbors, a blog written by dozens of people around the Middle East, including Israel, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Palestine, and so on. It's partly politics, partly think tank, and will undoubtedly surprise you if all you know about the Middle East is what you get from the media.

Please feel free to comment or to subscribe to my blogs by email or RSS using the links on the top left. If you like what you see, a donation, a purchase through an affiliate link, or a trackback would also be highly appreciated.

I have been known to spontaneously "give back" to my loyal readers, commenters, supporters, and subscribers, so stick around!

Thanks for reading,
