Happy Birthday To Me. I’m 37

This birthday comes when I’m relatively happy, but it follows a few not-so-great months. The past year had its ups and downs.

We closed Playrock. Following that I started looking for a job outside of Israel, but instead opted to take a job at an Isareli startup. That may have been my biggest mistake of the year. My experience in that company wasn’t good and I switched jobs again. I’m sorry that I didn’t follow through with moving abroad, mainly because it would have saved me a lot of grief, both professional and personal. I take comfort in the fact that I’m enjoying my current place of work (Stratoscale) a lot.

Other than that, I became involved in a side project, Unvelope (Hebrew link), which I hope will do well.

I also had a short relationship that didn’t turn out well at all.

I saw The Prodigy twice – in June and very recently on New Year’s eve. That’s always a good thing :)

I’m still running (outside) twice a week. I feel healthy and in that sense things are fine.

To sum up, quite a lot happened this year. I hope I’ll be mostly happy this year and maybe to accomplish something meaningful.

9 Years Of Working Out

I’m very busy so I’ll make it short :)

This is the 9th anniversary of me going to the gym for the first time. Same as last year, I’m running 11+ km (in about one hour) twice a week with the addition of some simple workouts at home for the upper body.

This has become part of my routine, so it’s not such a big deal. And that’s a good thing :)

Unemployed (Again)

After shutting down Playrock I tried looking for a job outside of Israel, but eventually decided to go work for an Israeli storage startup. The job was interesting and the employees were great, but I had to quit because of differences of opinions I had with the CEO and CTO about what I’m allowed to do on my spare time at home.

So I’m unemployed again, which isn’t too bad. I hope to find a job pretty soon, but being at home right now for a short period of time isn’t too bad.

I’ve been working lately on a new side project called Unvelope (Hebrew link). I’ll probably write a longer post about it in the future.

Other than that, life is calm, which is good :)
