Lately, it seems like the New York Times is speaking right to me. I’ve just started to get used to the endless articles about 20-somethings figuring out what to do with themselves. But last week’s Modern Love column about a romance based on a shared last name—MY last name—pretty much confirmed my suspicion that the New York Times exists solely to communicate with me about my life. The column’s author, Milla Goldenberg, is certainly not lacking in Goldenberg pride, scoffing at the more common Goldberg variation of our name: “Ours was the older, more dignified surname, which translates to “gold mountain” in German. Linguistically intact, Goldenberg conjures up sun-kissed hills that resemble health and bounty.” Hm, not bad.
Milla got me thinking about life as a Goldenberg, and what the are chances that my soul mate does, in fact, have the same last name as me (in my opinion, weird even if we’re not related). So, here is my comprehensive study on life as a Goldenberg:

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPods. It works well, but isnt as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser thats not an issue, but if youre planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPods larger screen and better browser may be important.
