    Protect Your iPhone

    Since I’ve been responsible for many iPhone users jailbreaking and unlocking their iPhones to use in Israel – a country where iPhones still have never been available for sale – I want to help get the word out about hackers targeting jailbroken iPhones: they exist.

    Missed Connections: The Blog

    I’ve loved Craigslist’s Missed Connections for years. Depending on the city and the size of its hipster population, I always know I’m likely to find some charming and creative writing among the crude, earnest and businesslike posts.

    Shutterfool's Urban Annoyances

    If I ever make a list of reasons why Tel Aviv is the superior city, or at least the best place to live in Israel, I promise not to forget to add this list of Tel Aviv’s problems at the end of it.

    To address some of them:

    People on the bus who put their feet up [...]
