Joker, writer and network hiker. Co-Director Of the Friday Night Extravaganza. Look at past extravaganza pages here: 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007
I've been the technology editor of Maariv since December 2007. Prior to this I've been writing a weekly column for Maariv's weekend magazine about digital culture (“Digital Thoughts”) since 2006.
Originally a developer, I've always had one foot in IT and one in arts & entertainment, so it happens in the past I've written comedy for some prime time Israeli TV shows – and code for several Israeli startup companies.
