I was thinking this morning, and it seems to me that once I'm fluent in Hebrew, I'll probably prefer to think of myself as Hebrew rather than Jewish, religiously if not culturally at least. (I was raised in Jewish culture, and it's a part of me that I don't care to remove.) Religion-wise, 'Jewish' implies rabbinical Judaism, where 'Hebrew' evokes the earlier, more primal form of the religion of the people of the Torah, Nevi'im (Prophets) and Ketuvim (Writings).

This may take a while, however, as calling myself Hebrew while not speaking the language would be both ludicrous and pretentious, and pretense is unhelpful.

I have now officially learned to proofread and compare my new business cards to my old ones in the future. I ordered two different revisions without phone numbers on them, and one with mediocre grammar. Doing that is not so good for the finances.
