My brother and I managed to find quality weekend time for a nice hike to the top of the 10,000ft peak of San Jacinto. Pretty steep climb, but there’s nothing like a good day outdoors.

‘Let The Right One In’

2009 June 15

Let-The-Right-One-In

It has been more two hours since I finished watching “Let The Right One In” (Låt den rätte komma in), and I still feel all immersed in the movie. What a beautiful piece of cinema, that manages to get a grip on you with its slow, almost magical, pace. I truly hope we’ll see more of Lina Leandersson in years to come. Such accurate acting in a role full of subtleties is hard to come by. Kudos to Tomas Alfredson for creating this inspiring piece.
(And thanks my talented friend Daniel Kutz for the movie recommendation).

I miss the days in which we lived-breathed-immersed ourselves in cinema.

No April Fool’s This Week, Yet BBC Falls For A Simple Urban Myth

This urban myth is at least 10 years old, yet BBC falls for it with lots of fresh enthusiasm. It used to be a myth about 1M Shekels, but I guess $250k is not shocking enough nowadays. Anyway, just for being sure, I’ll keep inspecting these random mattresses I bump into every now and then.

Indexing the Real-Time Web: Google Still Indexes Much Faster Than Bing

My previous post is already showing up in Google:

Bing is still behind…

(Indexing blogs in near real-time is pretty straight-forward; I assume bing is just not there yet in terms of quick updates to its search indices)

Is YouTube (Google) Blocking Bing?

A pretty consistent ‘error’ occurring only when viewing videos through the bing platform.

Same video, embedded in my blog:


Strange. Is anyone else witnessing this?

Sears Holdings Israel – May 2009

We managed to get our team away from their keyboards for a company breakfast in a nice place next to our office. I reckon the view is not as exciting as a Java IDE, yet the sea breeze was almost as good as the office air-conditioning.

Team SHC Israel is working hard and strong on an exciting new product (to be launched in a few months), and we are hiring star engineers for both our Israel and Chicago offices.
