My favorite scene from the movie Ice Age. My kid and I redetermined the phrase LOL. Every time when we see the tiger (Diego) saying: "Eifo A-tinok? Ene' A-tinok!" (Where is the Baby? Here is the Baby) we almost cry from laughing.

This Friday was very interesting. I had a free day and I decided to walk in the morning. For several weeks I don't carry my Canon with me, only my cellphone. So, all my photos are low resolution and low quality.

Anyway, I do some walking today, and finally I capture a photo from the most interesting advertising banner. "Bank Hapoalim" for Israel 60 Independence day. I really like the baby hand touch the Holocaust surviver.

Later this day, when I done my trip I take the kids to the pack for an hour. Then I had to drive to the college to sign-up for the new year. I took my father car and GPS, and yes, I am hopeless, even with the GPS I got lost :( I get to the right direction but I was not able to find the place. after 20 minutes of driving and asking people park the car. Even the trip back home. the annoying GPS took me to the downtown adding me extra 20 minutes of driving.

After eating (at home finally) I get a phone call from my dad to fix broken PLC, again on the road until I get to the farm and fix the broken source code (that I write before, but don't test it).

Only at 10pm I am able to finally to rest and do some stuff on the computer. Although I still have more work to do. I want to finish rate my songs and add album art to some songs and tag my recent photos.

BTW, yesterday we celebrate Lag Ba'Omer, when I do the morning walking I see the sun (in the sunrise) totally red from all the smoke from the bonfires. And its the first day that I see more then 2-3 people in the early morning. I see dozens of kids around the bonfires.

I love to hack my cellphone. I doing it for several years, since I had my Motorola C650. Today I done hacking my Motorola E770 for good.

I removed everything related to my cellular provider, download Java games/photos/ring tones and videos, change the animation of the web browser, set Google as my homepage, rearrange and basically to a lot of thinks to my crappy old cellphone. I also removed the pre-installed demo games and factory pictures. I removed the shortcuts for the camera and the video camera from the main menu, and put the browser, blue tooth and Airplane mode on it.

For long time I want to replace my phone for a different model, I thought about Nokia, but I think I will continue to use it for several month.

Few sites I used:
Customizing the Motorola Vxxx
398mod for P2K drivers and P2k Tools

It was a nice place. I remember as a kid I use to come to this wellhead. As you can guess I'm not been there for several years. Today morning, on my Saturday walking I decided to walk there, I think 10km from my home. I really sorry to see the wellhead like that... Where are the water?

More photos

By the way, I think today I break my own record. Walking over 20km (from the wellhead and back) in less then 3 hours. I legs was hurt when I arrived home.

I hope to finish this book soon... I just can't find a lot of time to read. Although its a nice book, I can't read at night (today I have to watch Stargate and Flash-Gordon) only in the morning, when I don't have podcast to hear (2 hours of podcast left).

I'm already in page 500... 200 pages to go

While my wife prepare the meal, just after we back from the park, I decided to make a paper crown and nylon garbage bag as a vest for my small kid. My "older" kid want to become "Batman", so again, paper mask and garbage bag as a vest.

Just spending the vacation day at the park with the kids...

Something very weird happen in the park, one of the gas container jumping device suddenly fly away from the ground, carry the air compressor with it. Luckily no body was on the device at that moment. Also, while the device fly by, its over right next to me, I was able to jump to other device (where my smaller kid was playing), I was able to avoid hit from it. Other 3 kids and one adult get a hit, nothing terrible, just a crying. It was scary, I can't even imagine, if one of my kids was there...
