For the longest time the best online Hebrew translator was milon.co.il. Unfortunaly milon.co.il can only translate one word at a time. However it looks like Google Translator now works for Hebrew!!! Let the homework cheating help commence.

My Yom Kippur
Over all I had a pretty good fast this year. I had pasta right before the fast and it seemed to do a good job of keeping me full.
On Yom Kippur night I went to Beni David and about half way through the service I met a very important person. No it was not Dad or my Uncle, it was the Mayor… Yes Antonio Villaraigosa the mayor of Los Angeles sat in front of me and talked with me for a good two minutes during the night time service.
The day time service was less eventful, I spent most of the morning in Shul, went back around 5pm and broke my fast on cake there, I then went home and had left over pasta from the night before.
Funny keyboard short cuts
Update: See the new version of this post!
Want to piss off your friends? Here is my list of the top five keyboard shortcuts to use on people. (these will only work on Windows computers)
1) Ctrl+Alt+Down Arrow — This key-command will rotate your monitor 180 degrees, it can be very funny to watch someone go to login to a computer and find the screen facing the wrong direction. Unfortunately this will only work on computers with Intel graphics chipsets.
2) left ALT+left SHIFT+PRINT SCREEN — This shortcut will turn on the high contrast visibility setting on any given computer. This is a good way to confuse and piss of people.
3) Alt+F4 — This command is very well know and won’t always work, but if you can find a newbie doing something important having their program close on them can be very entertaining.
4) Windows Key+M — If Alt+F4 fails this command may still be able to do a similar job, instead of closing the active program this command minimizes all open programs.
5) Windows Key+ D then Alt+F4 then Enter — This can be very funny and get you seriously hurt, but it will do a good job of shutting down any version of windows.
