Ouriel reports that after months of anticipation Google are finally offering maps for Israel. For now though they are just in Hebrew, the English maps show the streets, but the names remain blank. I guess we are in the really early stages of development since their doesn’t seem to be any official announcement from the [...]
It turns out that Israel takes on different appearances depending on whose eyes it’s viewed through. An early twenty-something steps off the plane and sees through wide eyes a sun-kissed land filled to brimming with young olive skinned honeys filling out olive-toned uniforms in all the right places, deliciously greasy buckets of shwarma meat [...]
In the great tradition of artists such as Roger Waters and Erykah Badu, once again Israeli producers will be inviting a musician who will come perform in Israel, take our money and then ignorantly criticize our policies (granted, some of our policies suck, but we don’t need no education from performers who know close to [...]
Oh yeah. YouTube is full of gems. Long lost rock videos, cool concert footage, comedy routines, etc. But nothing, NOTHING compares to this incredible movie trailer I came across today. NOTHING. This is what the internet was made for. AN AMERICAN HIPPIE IN ISRAEL. Apparently seen by a few people in a few late night [...]

Back when I lived in Jerusalem I used to hit Mordoch in the Machaneh Yehuda market every Friday for a nice big hearty bowl of kubbe soup. Since moving to Modi’in, I go once every couple of weeks for lunch and certainly not as often as I would like. Now that winter has rolled in [...]
Haifa’s Technion-Israel Institute of Technology has released the very first nano-bible. A clever ploy to bring people closer to religion, er, I mean nano-technology. The entire bible has been inscribed on gold-coated silicon surface smaller than the head of a pin. This is not an attempt to make the holy book more portable, but an [...]
Green tea may work as an anti-inflammatory for people with Rheumatoid Arthritis. How to make a plastic bag keeper. R.E.M.’s music catalog dissected once song at a time. “Now That The Day Is Over“, The Innocence Mission’s beautiful collection of lullabies, will make you want to burn your Baby Einstein collection. Buy it for your [...]
Singer-songwriter Keren Ann will bring her Leonard Cohen-esque neo-folk, jazz and dream pop sounds to bomb shelters across Israel in an effort to boost morale among the folks who have spent the last week in bomb shelters reports Ynet.
