Weekend in Kibbutz Tzuba

Monday, October 27th, 2008

We had so much fun over the weekend. We stayed at Tzuba Kibbutz Hotel, which was very pleasant and because of that, we got a free pass to the hotel amusement park called Kiftzuba (which translates to something like “jump in”).

On our way to the park we stopped to look at the big carts outside the apple packing factory. A nice man approached us and asked Noah if he would like a tour. Of course we said yes! The tour was very interesting and at the end we each got a tasty organic apple.

We had the whole park to ourselves because it rained the day before. There were almost no people there excepet for another family with a girl Noah’s age. They immidiately became friends and we spent the next hours with them.

We tried everything! To name some: Bumping cars, bumping boats, huge inflatable structures and sponge ball cannons.

It was so much fun that we decided to visit again the next day. Noah was very happy to meet his new friend Saturday morning and again, they spent a few hours together, mostly in the petting corner.

It started to rain, so we went inside and built with wooden blocks.

That’s enough for now. I’m too tired to go on.

For more pictures, visit my Flickr photo stream. I’ll probably upgrade soon and then I can put the pictures in a set.

Light Blubs From Pieke Bergmans

Tuesday, October 21st, 2008

Dutch designer Pieke Bergmans says:

You may wonder: What is a light blub??

The answer is simple: it is a light bulb that has gone way out of line.

Infected by the dreaded Design Virus, these Blubs have taken on all kinds of forms and sizes you wouldn’t expect from such well behaving and reliable little products.

I read about Canadian artist Marc Johns in Roadside Scholar. He does really nice drawings. He did a whole series of drawings on post it notes and now he sells them through his website.

I forgot Noah’s bag at the kindergarten before Sukkot Holiday.

I don’t remember packing this in his lunch box.

Designer Sungwoo Park doesn’t think his idea solves the batteries issue, but I think he’s taken a big step towards some sort of a solution.
