			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; margin: 5px 5px 5px 15px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" src="http://www.meydad.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/vardi.jpg" border="0" alt="Yossi Vardi opens Kinnernet 2008" width="140" height="178" align="right" /> Earlier this week, I returned from Israel where I participated in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinnernet">Kinnernet</a>, Yossi Vardi&#8217;s geek camp that took place to the shores of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_of_Galilee">Kinneret</a>.</p>
<p>Cathy Brooks (of Seesmic) asked me there what was the best part. My answer was simply &#8211; &#8220;the beginning, the middle and the end&#8221;.</p>
<p>Yet, there were a few specific sessions, workshops &amp; presentations I liked the most:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=753798&amp;l=cb5d9&amp;id=712802120">Itai Talgam</a>&#8216;s lecture about &#8220;management styles of great conductors&#8221;. It was fascinating to see how much the body language of conductors can indicate what type of managers they would be.</li>
<li>Hanoch Piven&#8217;s &#8220;Art using Junk&#8221; workshop. This is the portrait of <a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=753809&amp;l=bf4a3&amp;id=712802120">Avi Nimni</a> I made (especially for <a href="http://www.couldberaining.com/">Klieger</a>).</li>
<li>The <a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=753776&amp;l=ae522&amp;id=712802120">home made satellite</a> built from a PC, GPS, Digital Camera and transmitter connected to a helium balloon. Once in the air it sent photos of Jordan as well as its location and those coordinates were mashed up using Google Earth API to display its route. Very cool!</li>
<li>Simon Levene (Accell Partners) presenting in a hilarious way the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=32885&amp;l=a0adb&amp;id=712802120">business plan</a> for his next venture &#8211; WhoTheHell.RU. Does anyone have the video?</li>
<li>Barak Berkowitz&#8217;s Paint with Light night workshop. Check out this <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/barak/sets/72157604489581348/">art work</a>.</li>
<li>and last, but not least, the talented Ariel Qassis, who hypnotized me whenever his fingers touched <a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8783413785861127559">the Qanun</a>.</li>
</ul>
<p>I am sure I am missing at least 100 other things that made this creative event simply great.</p>
