Job seeking trends

I've just noticed this unbelievable graph of Job searching in Google Trends:

Job seeking search volume index worldwide

In this graph you can clearly see that the tendency of people to seek the term "job" around the world is very high from January and slowly descends until December, then quickly climbs in January, that's quite a anthropological phenomenon. A new year could perhaps engage people in ideas of a new and better future, perhaps a new job :) while in Israel:

Job seeking search volume index / Israel

I guess in Israel people are looking for a better stature throughout the year. Even the term "New Year" is miscalled "Silvester" which is a very silly thing, they know how to take out the fun parts in life.

happy job hunting ! it's almost New year's !

also found that nice graph for the terms "winter" and "summer" over the years:

and the most amazing is that the search volume index of Sinus looks just like a sinus !

The sinus sinus trend !

oh I'm such a geek...

Ikea Brimnes bed construction

This saturday we worked real hard to construct our Ikea 'Brimnes' bed that is quite a time consuming assembly project... we took the Eee Transformer pad and switched it's camera to timelapse mode and shot the following sequence:

enjoy :)

Google Autonomous

Google Autonomous photoshop

Since Google has released some info of their autonomous vehicle experiments I've been eager to hear more about it.
I Think that starting with the private sector will not 'solve really big problems' as the article states.

I think that if Google presents this technology it must be implemented on large scale commercial architectures and not private vehicles, unless they are shared among users via car/time sharing (but that's another idea still far from beta testing...)

• Mass transit system: Buses and rail systems that drive autonomous, never get tired or angry of other vehicle drivers, Here also the face recognition technology could come in handy if one can enter an automated bus and be recognized by the bus and be automatically reminded where my stop is, automatic ticketing etc'
• Trucks / Semi : that suffer the worst from blind spots and work hours, here is the greatest opportunity to basically save lives if these mammoths were driven by precise robotics instead of an angry mob
• FedEx and Mail systems that usually route daily could benefit the most
• a good replacement for any Israeli driver (perhaps also for any Israeli politician too...)

I fear, although this technology is great, that it will very quickly be cracked, hacked and misused to send pizzas to classmates.

what do you think?

שעון מעורר היסטרי

להתעורר בהיסטריה כל יום מחדש!

מאז ניוטון והתפוח סוף סוף הגיע הזמן לשידרוג השעון המעורר!

טלפונים, קטנים כגדולים, תמיד נפלו על הרצפה וימשיכו ליפול. אין לנו באמת מושג אם הנפילה הזו תהיה האחרונה עבורם (הסמארטפונים לאחרונה הם באמת נפילה אבל זה כבר סיפור אחר).

יקיצה היא לעתים לא דבר פשוט ובתחבולות תעשה לך השכמה (משלי כ"ד ו')

הפרויקט הנוכחי : שעון מעורר שמופעל על ידי ההשכמה של הטלפון הסלולרי ומעיף אותו לאוויר כמו טוסטר כך שצריך לתפוס את הטלפון מהר לפני שהוא נופל על הרצפה. 

נכון, יהיו כמה בקרים שהטלפון ייפול על הרצפה ונקום בהרגשת החמצה וביאוס (שזו גם בעיטה חזקה מהמיטה) ויש כאלו שזה יעורר אצלם את העצבים ויקומו כמו נינג'ה ויצילו כל יום את הטלפון שלהם מאבדון!
בקרוב בחנות i קרובה אליכם.

סופת ברקים בשמי רעננה

חיבור הברקים מצילום זמן ארוך

כל 2 עד 5 שניות הופיעו אחד אחרי השני ברקים, תופעה מאד יפה אבל לא אופיינית למזג האוויר כאן.
אני חושב שזה מאפיין זריעת עננים, כי לאחרונה התחילו במסע זריעת עננים מאסיבי והאופי של העננים השתנה.
הנה קליפ קצר :

Google has made my day

Google have just sent me a 200NIS voucher to use in Adwords as I see fit.
I'm not used to receiving printed mail other than bills and subpoenas, Since it's the first Email I've received from Google, I was quite shocked that they gave me such a nice gift, hope to use it wisely :)

Google Adsense made my day!

Solar Optimizer preliminary draft

After a longer than expected render I've come up with a preliminary draft which I'll keep abusing...

Sun view of the 2 trial array

An additional Idia rose while I was addressing this, that the dynamic panel could also be an additional reflector for the rest of the array, so for this experiment I've used only 2 panels, one stationary and one facing the sun.

Solar Optimizer thoughts

After encountering technologies such as Tigo Maximizer units and having short conversations about some of the issues that rise when developing the photovoltic solar installations, It seems that such an array could have additional management and control for the following:

Google mail does it again, attaching

Google has just warned my heart :)

google did you mean to attach files?

When sending a Message, Google has just informed me that I forgot to actually attach the file I've written I would. this simple personal and assisting window has just changed my perspective on the whole feature of 'warning windows' that until now were mostly unhelpful barriers instead of an actual guide or helper. this means a lot to me and I'm sure a lot of email users around the world.
Thank you for being and don't be evil  :)
