This is perfect after a long week, when people are to tired to start discussion about serious subjects. I don’t know what in what language this is, although it sound pretty close to the language my grandparents used when they didn’t want us to understand what they are saying (and after they realize that some […]

Today I finally converted my old IBM ThinPad T43 to Ubuntu Linux. It took me a while to get on board and give Ubuntu a try and and so far so good. I am not convinced that the most users will be in love with the idea of using Terminal for things they use to […]

I first heard the melody of Vanglis’ “Conquest of Paradise” when it was used in The HaBima theater in Israel. It was used in a play about the famous, and tragical, Israeli general named Gorodish and they used the melody instead of the original melody of the anthem of the 7th armored brigade. It […]

It is a long flight and never easy, although Tseela behaved very well. But we are finally in Israel for vacation. I’m still trying to figure out how to work with the Idiotic Internet setup the ISP my mother choose set. It is amazing how few years of living in the US making someone used […]

I turned 40 today, and I don’t like it even a little bit. It was hard enough stop being young when I turned 30, and that was a decade ago. Originally this post included several paragraphs that are typical middle age crisis. I decided to save you from the it, it wasn’t original, profoundly interesting, and wasn’t really worth your […]

Working on Presidents day is a very lonely activity.
Walking in the empty streets around wall street, trying to get a decent coffee - and no, starbucks doesn’t sell decent coffee - feels aerie. And no, I couldn’t find any decent coffee shop open.
