The plan on Friday was to do the hop on hop off bus tour. We got on the bus at speakers corner on the edge [...]

You Are Now Reading a Biblioblog

Apparently this blog has now been included under the complete list of biblioblogs at biblioblogtop50.wordpress.com. I believe much of the thanks is due to John Hobbins who has included this blog on his new list of bibliobloggers. I find it interesting how few archaeoblogs there are, or perhaps biblioblogs related to Syro-Palestinian archaeology (someone must [...]

Most of my time lately has been taken up with Jack, who is now a little over 5 weeks old. Here are two videos of the little one.

The Arcade Fire covering Bruce Springsteen’s classic song. From the Obama staffers’ thank you concert. Jay-Z also performed songs including the newly (hilariously) titled “I Got 99 Problems but a Bush Ain’t One.” The Arcade Fire could probably cover any song and I would like it.

This post is quite random, but with the new baby and the new semester starting I haven’t had anything profound to write. So I thought I would write on one of best, most ubiquitous songs of the 2008: “Paper Planes” by MIA.
I first heard this song during the Pineapple Express trailer. [...]

Christmas break should be quite busy, I’ll be working on an application for an ACOR fellowship and on a book review of Eric Meyers Festschrift. Oh, and the main thing [...]

Yesterday I received my copy of NEASB (Near Eastern Archaeological Society Bulletin) which contains my first article “Israelite Expansion Process in the Iron Age II: A Chalk Moat Perspective.” A very exciting moment for me, although it was strange, in a way, to see it in published form. I’m going to read through it today [...]
