Others on Steven I. Weiss
Miriam Shaviv: "Commonly regarded as the doyen of the Jewish ‘blogosphere’."
Andrew Silow-Carroll: "On a personal crusade to save Judaism and journalism from, well, folks like me."
Jeff Sharlet: "If you crossed Jorge Luis Borges and Isaac Babel, and forced the monstrosity that resulted to write on deadline, you might wind up with something like the journalism of Steven I. Weiss -- erudite and two-fisted, obsessive-compulsive brilliance expressed in broad strokes. Weiss is a case study in how the internet can foster nonfiction writing that's deeper, smarter, and more entertaining than that manufactured through the chain of command at the dailies."
Jeff Jarvis: "One of the most energetic, talented, dedicated people I've met in this world."
Cecile DuBois: "Suprisingly young to have such a good reputation."

I thought it had already been banned thanks to a past chumrah of the day.
see: ...
>604. It is best to refrain on Shabbos from playing games in
>which imitation money is used, such as “Monopoly”. The same
>applies to all games in which one stands to make either a
>gain or a loss (even if not expressed in money), such as
>draidel and “odds or evens”. Dice games, for example “chutes
>and ladders”, are permitted, so long, of course, as they do not
>involve any forbidden activity.
Or until someone bans them as well as bitul Torah.

Hmmmm - something tells me that the licensee of the Hebrew edition might have to start printing more sets than he used to. It will become the de riguer gift to bring back to the Five Towns.

Or people will just supplement the game with fake money they bought at the dollar store. Personally, I plan on buying the classic edition instead of the here and now edition anyway.
