Here’s Niv surveying last year’s visitors:
See you there!

Omer (our gracious host) just announced it on his blog.
I’ve never actually attended one of these before (I just happened to be abroad on the last dinners) so I’m expecting to meet everyone there…
The location is yet undecided (depends on you people) and you can RSVP at the event’s Facebook page.
Go on and spread the word…
Here are a couple of links to help you remember:
See you there!
* Yes I stole the picture from Scott’s blog…
** http://events.live.com is actually useful! Kudos to Microsoft….
The season for Flues and Colds is here again and I just had to share this:
Well it has been it’s been an amazing (and long) day spent mainly on networking - I’ve met a lot of people with whom I’ve only interacted online before which is pretty cool.
I joined Amit on a hunt for every free giveaway available at the Digital Market event - you can read about it here.
Later on, I took over the Virtual Fighters Xbox 360 stand - Omer has the details and some pictures. There’s also this video I took prior to the event:
Overall, a very exciting day that tops previous TechEds… Kudos to the Microsoft team…

Its been a hectic day so far…
I’m currently sitting at the .NET 3.5 and beyond Killer Features lecture so I finally have some time to write…
So here’s what happend so far today:
Hoping for things to relax a bit going forword…
Microsoft finally opened up the Meetings application for TechEd at http://www.face2facemeeting.com/teched/
So, if you want to meet up and talk (about anything) just schedule a meeting 
The easiest way to find me there is to going to the Find Participants screen and looking for Duet as keyword.
You’ll be able to find me and my teammates from the Duet team at SAP who are coming to TechEd.
See you there…

I’ve been invited by Microsoft to TechEd Eilat 2008 as a blogger - a very awesome surprise and a vote of appreciation from the guys at Microsoft Israel.
I consider this invitations as a great opportunity for trying challenging myself to try something new.
Normally, when I go to a convention on my employers expense the purpose is to go to as many lectures possible and bring back information to the team.
This time, I’m invited by Microsoft as a blogger to blog about the event which, as I see it, provides a unique opportunity to "fool around" (more than usual) with this medium and do something different than just run around from presentation to presentation (and buffet to buffet… )
As interesting as all the different presentations may be, the notion of having lots of interesting tech geeks in one (huge) venue (called Eilat) is a lot more compelling.
Lately, following Scoble’s Davos and Macword video coverage, the latest QIK and Seesmic craze and Yossi&Lior’s show, I became interested in the video as a medium.
I can always blog event\lecture summaries, live blog (even though I’m not a big fun of that) but I’m thinking of challenging myself to doing something I’ve never done before - take a camera and just shoot meetings with different people in the industry.
What do you think? Interested in meeting up to talk about your work\company\product\lecture (I’ve been thinking about videos like the ones shot on TechCrunch 40)?
It looks like Microsoft are going to setup and meetings application in their TechEd portal… I wonder how’s that going to work.
Anyway, things I need to get done until TechEd:
Anyway, come meet me at TechEd and get a cool Moo card
My Moo MiniCards finally arrived!
The Moo MiniCards are like a ‘hip’ little full color business cards that can also teach us a lesson in product innovation - mutating a standard product we all know by changing some of its properties to make it unique.
By making they’re card about half the size of a standard business card and featuring a a full-color picture Moo turned their product from the same old business card everyone is making to a unique and interesting product that creates a buzz (and a brand).
Designing these little cards is a simple process as Moo connects to your Flickr account and provides an simple interface to select and manipulate the pictures you want printed.
On the back side you can put a thumbnail and some text. I decided to go with the ‘modern’ look with just my name and my homepage address.
Now I need to start passing them along… Maybe TechEd
Oh, and you can also turn them into small magnet cards… Nice…
Some more pictures on my Flickr set….

I wish I had a PhD in guitar acoustics like Dr Mark Lewney…
The Israel Web Tour is the first Internet competition organized to bring 15 Israeli startups to Silicon Valley. CEO’s of the chosen companies will be flown to the US for exclusive meetings with the Valley’s hot startups, VC’s and potential partners. The Tour will also include a Public Showcase and culminate in an evening soiree.
The upcoming tour February 4-7, 2008 is organized by CICC and sponsored by Silicon Valley’s internet giants.
There’s also a Facebook group for the event…
Here’s a video from last years event:
I didn’t go to the GarageGeeks party. I had a university class to attend to…
My friends went to the party and hooked up with some guys from Google that we hang out with at Tel Aviv for teh past couple of days. Tal has the whole thing documented on his Flickr page
Blogerim.Net are having a digg-style blogs competition.
So, I signed up my blog (as a Personal Blog and an Internet&Technology blog) and you’re all welcome to vote :)\
Update 8/July/2007:
Apperantly Bloggers.Net is for Hebrew blogs only, so my blog entry got deleted.
In any case, I recieved over 10 votes over the weekend so thanks to anyone who voted
Seems like ther’s a new dasBlog version availble.
What’s more interesting is that, according to scott, the dasBlog team is about to announce a year-long roadmap with a plan for moving to .NET 3.5. They also plan to start releasing periodically every 60 days.
Keep up the good work!
I just had to get rid of that old, default dasBlog look to something a bit nicer.
