The Puddles

אפליקציית השלוליות
נוצרה בפוקס ע”י פגישה בין להקת רוק למתכנת אפליקציות\גולש בטיול בסרי-לנקה
בין התחרטמות לאוף דה-ריפ
הרעיון התגבש להוציא אפליקציה חינמית של הלהקה הכי טובה בתל אביב (שאתם לא מכירים) אז תורידו בקיצור
זה בחינם
יש שירים
יש תמונות
יש ווידאו

יש ערק
ומי שמראה את האפליקציה בקופות של ההופעות…
מגניב לו!
המון אהבה וחתולים

Review by Omer Shachnai for  Shalom Life – The Tel Aviv-Jaffa Association for Tourism decided it’s about time the city stepped up its marketing efforts, reached the crowds and become way more appealing to the younger audience. The meant harnessing the power of the ultimate smartphone, the iPhone.  So they launched the first Israeli touristic iPhone app, the VISIT-TLV application, to boost the city’s international, as well as domestic, tourism.

The new iPhone travel guide provides the users with images, descriptions and whereabouts of the city’s most popular attractions, including restaurants, pubs, cafes, museums, parks, walking routes (for the energetic types), sightseeing tours and hotels with a special emphasis on nightlife – after all Tel Aviv is the city that never sleeps. The guide highlights the very best Tel Aviv has to offer; after living in the city for a couple of years and seeing its recommendations, I can definitely vouch for it.

The guide helps travelers and tourists taste what the city is all about, while allowing them to contact any venue by phone and get directions via Google maps. Moreover, the application allows the user to share details or thoughts about any venue by email or by Facebook. The guide also provides weekly updates regarding what’s going on in Tel Aviv, showing current events such as festivals, street parties, exhibitions, special happenings and more. It is especially great in the summer time, when there is a lot going on.  For instance, this Thursday the city celebrated UNESCO’s declaration of  Tel Aviv as a “World Heritage Site,” with parties and free concerts all night long.

“Where did I park” is an application in Hebrew that remembers your parking spot, on the street or in a parking lot, and guide you back to it.

It also lets you take a picture of the parking spot, remembers your exact spot in a parking lot and reminds you when your parking ticket is about to expire.

לא מצליח לזכור איפה חנית?
מבזבז זמן בשיטוטים ברחוב בחיפוש אחרי המכונית?
מתבלבל בחניונים ולא מצליח למצוא את האוטו?
שוכח לחדש את כרטיס החנייה שלך וחוטף דוחות?
“איפה חניתי” היא אפליקציה פשוטה וידידותית בעברית, שזוכרת עבורך בדיוק איפה חנית ומכוונת אותך חזרה למכונית,
זוכרת את המיקום המדוייק של מקום החנייה שלך בחניון,
ומזכירה לך קצת לפני שפוקע לך הזמן של כרטיס החנייה, שתוכל לשים חדש.
האפליקציה משתמש בזיהוי אוטומטי ע”י ג’יפיאס ומאפשרת לך גם להזין כתובת באופן ידני ולצלם תמונה של מקום החנייה.
לעולם לא תאבד את המכונית שלך שוב.

TEDx

At TEDx events, unique talks given by live speakers combine with TEDTalks videos to spark deep conversation and connections. TEDx events are fully planned and coordinated independently, on a community-by-community basis.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience of deep discussion and connection. The TEDxTelAviv event, which will be held in Tel Aviv in Spring 2010, is part of a family of TEDx events scheduled in prominent cities worldwide including Dublin, Boston, Amsterdam, Sydney, Dubai, Lisbon, Shanghai, Warsaw and Taipei. The event is branded TEDx, where x=independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are developed locally.

The event theme reflects the inherent contradictions that characterize Israel: ancient-modern, religious-secular, rich-poor, east-west, devout-irreverent, tradition-innovation. TEDxTelAviv will demonstrate how this diversity has catalyzed cutting edge technology, world-class research, great works of art and ingenious social entrepreneurship.

TEDxTelAviv is a one-day celebration of imagination and inspiration in the TED Conferences tradition. The conference, which will open on Monday in Tel-Aviv, is the first attempt to bring the world renowned discussion to Israel, to showcase our best and brightest minds. This free application invites you to join TEDxTelAviv experience.

TEDxTelAviv is independently organized and operates under license from TED. This service is brought to the public with the kind support of Applicaster and Cotendo, that provide end-to-end video solutions for iPhone and content delivery services.

האפליקציה הינה פשוטה, קצרה ולעניין: תוך שניות יהיה בידכם כל המידע לגבי הטיסה שלכם, והכי חשוב – תוכלו לדעת מיד האם חל שינוי כלשהו בטיסה (הקדמה, איחור, ביטול וכדומה).
בכדי להוריד מכם את כאב הראש שכרוך בבדיקה תכופה של האייפון לגבי סטטוס הטיסה, הוספנו מערכת שליחת הודעות בדחיפה. לאחר שכיוונתם את ההתרעה אתם יכולים פשוט להירגע – האפליקציה תיידע אתכם אוטומטית (מבלי לפתוח אותה בכלל שוב) לגבי כל שינוי בטיסה שלכם. מדליק, לא?

Rhyming Life and Death, Amos Oz

An ingenious, witty, behind-the-scenes novel about eight hours in the life of an author. A literary celebrity is in Tel Aviv on a stifling hot night to give a reading from his new book. While the obligatory inane questions (“Why do you write? What is it like to be famous? Do you write with a pen or on a computer?) are being asked and answered, his attention wanders and he begins to invent lives for the strangers he sees around him. Among them are Yakir Bar-Orian Zhitomirski, a self-styled literary guru; Tsefania Beit-Halachmi, a poet (whose work provides the novel’s title); and Rochele Reznik, a professional reader, with whom the Author has a brief but steamy sexual skirmish; to say nothing of Ricky the waitress, the real object of his desire. One life story builds on another—and the author finds himself unexpectedly involved with his creations.

About the Author
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt has published Amos Oz’s work for the past 35 years, most recently his memoir, A Tale of Love and Darkness, an international bestseller and the recipient of the Koret Jewish Book Award, among many others.
