Alphabets

First of all, happy Passover to everybody. If you're Jewish - have a happy Seder today.

We once showed writing in the Hebrew alphabet to an English IM-friend of ours, and she called it "Tetris". As a result, the nickname stuck and our circle of friends keeps referring to the Hebrew alphabet as "Tetris".

One day we were discussing Jackals, and someone linked to the page about them on the Tamil wikipedia. Then she said that Tamil "looked like a drunk spider walked across the page!". Then I asked her to nicname it in a similar manner to "Tetris" and she said she would call it "curly wurly".

And the obligatory media recommendations: I really enjoyed listening to Rob Costlow's "Woods of Chaos" album on Magnatune.com. Costlow plays the piano, and he has very moving and original melodies, with excellent quality. Magnatune is a music publisher that publishes freely distributable music, and you can listen to the album online.

And I also recently became addicted to this song by Rihanna (which isn't free), so you may enjoy it too.

Happy Passover!
