Beer Sheva Thoughts: Moving On
http://beershevathoughts.blogspot.com/2015/06/moving-on.html
A Southern Israeli Point of View. June 22, 2015. I started the series of posts regarding technology something like four years ago, after reading the Steven Jobs biography. During this time, my job writing educational plans ended, I worked as a translator for a short while, but mainly I've studied how to be a teacher, and I've taught math for almost three year in various schools and colleges in and around Beer Sheva for the past three years. Hence I have less time to write, but more stuff to write about.

Beer Sheva Thoughts: August 2014
http://beershevathoughts.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
A Southern Israeli Point of View. August 25, 2014. Amazon - A Force for Good - With a Few Qualifications. I am pretty sure that when people will talk, say in the year 2100 or 2200, about the early years of the 21st century (and actually also about the last days of the 20th century), one of the key developments they will mention is the move from books to eBooks. Right now we are in the middle of this development, indeed revolution, and so we don't see how huge it really is, but it is huge. August 19, 2014.

Beer Sheva Thoughts: July 2014

A Southern Israeli Point of View. July 29, 2014. The Trouble with Kindle Fire. Something like five posts ago, and more than a year and a half ago, I said I would get both me and my (now) nine year old son a Google Nexus 7 tablet. Well I did. About eight moths ago. While no one and no thing in this world is perfect, I am rather pleased with it and so is my son. Lucky for me there were these two days when I could, so I did install some free apps. My niece thanks me to this very day. July 21, 2014. It used ...

Beer Sheva Thoughts: July 2015

A Southern Israeli Point of View. July 30, 2015. Starting From The Very Beginning - The Big Bang. The time has come to reveal my cards. Not only are my politics tilted towards the left wing, I'm also a religious person, even if I don't obey all of the Mitzvot (I hope that the ones I'm missing are the ones between me and god, but I'm not entirely sure). So if I believe in god why do I also believe in the Big Bang and modern geology, and Evolution and so on? Very simple. If any left wing ideology does ...

Beer Sheva Thoughts: Google - a Force for Good With a Few Qualifications
http://beershevathoughts.blogspot.com/2014/09/google-force-for-good-with-few.html
A Southern Israeli Point of View. September 1, 2014. Google - a Force for Good With a Few Qualifications. Google started off as a search engine. This is certainly not news. Along the way, in the past almost sixteen years, it has tried to be many other things:. An Email giant,. The guys who would replace Microsoft Office with a free alternative,. The guys who would write a new programming language for the web,. The guys who would digitize all the books in the world,. The world's biggest video website,.

Beer Sheva Thoughts: A Letter I Just Got from Amazon
http://beershevathoughts.blogspot.com/2014/08/a-letter-i-just-got-from-amaazon.html
A Southern Israeli Point of View. August 11, 2014. A Letter I Just Got from Amazon. Here is a letter I just got from Amazon:. Dear KDP Author,. With it being so inexpensive and with so many more people able to afford to buy and read books, you would think the literary establishment of the day would have celebrated the invention of the paperback, yes? Well… history doesn’t repeat itself, but it does rhyme. The fact is many established incumbents in the industry have taken the position that lower e-book pr...

Beer Sheva Thoughts: Radio Ramallah vs. Halfon Hill
http://beershevathoughts.blogspot.com/2015/07/radio-ramallah-vs-halfon-hill.html
A Southern Israeli Point of View. July 22, 2015. Radio Ramallah vs. Halfon Hill. So last week I said that I wanted to start describing my left wing ideology in a more or less chronological order, and this is what I want to start doing now. Despite of my chronological obligations, I think it makes sense to first describe my general way of thinking, which could be stated thus: 'The aim of Zionism in general, and of the State of Israel in particular should be the creation of an Eastern Democracy.'. In concl...

Beer Sheva Thoughts: Why I didn't Like Amazon's Letter
http://beershevathoughts.blogspot.com/2014/08/why-i-didnt-like-amazons-letter.html
A Southern Israeli Point of View. August 19, 2014. Why I didn't Like Amazon's Letter. The funny thing about the letter I got from Amazon. A little while ago, is that I perfectly agree with its beginning. I think paperbacks were a great thing. Most of the books in the house I grew up in were paperbacks, in several languages. Heck, I'm a publisher who publishes only eBooks in the past four years, you really don't need to convince me on that account. I can't, is the short answer. מה עוד אפשר להוסיף. Some of...

Beer Sheva Thoughts: Intermission- My Book on Kindle
http://beershevathoughts.blogspot.com/2014/07/intermission-my-book-on-kindle.html
A Southern Israeli Point of View. July 21, 2014. Intermission- My Book on Kindle. I published my first book on Amazon a bit more than two years ago. So far it's the only book I published there, but I hope to publish more in the next few years (my Hebrew publishing works faster, thanks for asking). The book is not perfect. Actually it's twice not perfect:. First, because it's my first book, that was published in Hebrew back in 2007. I didn't exactly know what I was doing back then. Hope You enjoy it.
