Introduction to nanoRep support solution

It’s been the second time I’m creating a video to nanoRep. Really nice to work with the guys over there…
In short words, nanoRep offers a support system that big sites can implement in their websites. This video appears when you’re signed in for the first time, giving you an idea of how the system work…

The Big Trip in the USA

It’s been almost two weeks since I returned from a month vacation in the US (NY, Chicago, Washington and Philadelphia). I went there to visit Erin, my girlfriend, who lived at the time in Mundelein, IL. Needless to say, I had an amazing time. The privilege of taking a the time off from my regular job (and my freelance clients) was something I couldn’t take for granted.
The USA was amazing. The size of everything (Coronet Pizza in NYC), the variety of every menu, every store; the kindness of strangers (Yes, even in NYC, the politeness there blew my mind time and time again)… Every business, if it’s an NBA stadium, a museum or a simple pizza place is well thought of in terms of experience (Medieval Times in Chicago and Bill’s Pizza in Mundelein especially). Beauty and Creativity were in every corner, and even though I was with a camera all the time, I know I didn’t even capture a bit of that. Having said that, here are some pics that I did take. More pics are in my Facebook album.

It’s also time to thank some people who made it great, by helping me feel at home across 3 different states: Thanks Carrie (and the parents), Laura and Alex, for letting us crash. Thanks Robin, you’re a cool mom. And last but definitely not least, thank you Erin, for being the best girlfriend ever :-*

בייבי

לפני כמה ימים עלה ב”ביפ” הפרק הראשון של תוכנית מערכונים קצרצרה ואינטרנטית העונה לשם “בייבי”. את עדי ענבי, יוצרת הסדרה, אני מכיר ממזמן, והיא ביקשה ממני להכין לה פתיח קצרצר ביותר אם אני פנוי. אני לא כל כך, האמת, אבל מצאתי כמה רגעים פנויים לעשות את זה.

Original Band Names

Some bands had different names before they were famous. Here some of them…

 

Moving Maps

Moving Maps project

I began this self initiated project last week. Bringing to life those beautiful satelite images from Google Maps.
I created 3 animated versions of these maps in this website:

Doodling with Harmony

I discovered a nice web app today, Harmony, so I played with it a little.

Who’s Your Favourite Beatle?

What is the meaning of life? Is there life in other planets? Who is the best Beatle? So many great question, all without answer. It’s time to answer one of them.
I made this tiny website, where you can “like” the Beatle you like the most and share it. Most people will probably argue between Paul and John. I’m very much in the corner of George. So many great songs, but even one of them, “something”, would be enough. Who is your favourite Beatle? Come and choose

Thanks a lot to my friend Sigalit,  that transformed my idea and design to an HTML that actually works.
