Blogging is hard.
Really. I had a blog in Hebrew – and it got stale to the point I just closed it. This blog doesn’t get updated very often either. And yet – I’m trying again. This time, it’s all about WordPress, in Hebrew. And not only that, I’ve committed to a post a day.

Music: Boy/Girl Duos
Not sure why, but I must have a musical affinity to boy/girl duos. A few years ago I was a White Stripes fan, and I still regularly listen to their first two albums, “The White Stripes” and “De Stijl”.

In case you’re wondering, they’re […]

What to do when the MacBook battery drains in Sleep
A couple of weeks ago my MacBook battery started to drain heavily when the computer was in sleep (standby) mode. This was really troubling – and while I was still getting a decent enough run on a full charge, a “Service Battery” notice also appeared on the power menu. The fix? A reset of the […]

Unrest
And so many questions. It’s been a week since the “Flotilla” events. I can’t remember when news, any news, perturbed me so much. Not because of what happened, but because of why, and how. How did it get to be this way? Why do I believe one side or the other? Is there a truth? […]
