It has now been 100 days (and change) since I spread my wings - what a time. It couldn't have planned it better, as I am leaving tomorrow for a week in the Galapagos. If you have to go on a boat in a remote part of the planet, it better be as great a destination as the Galapagos Islands - always been on my top 10 places to go see before I check out of our planet. To top it off, not only do I get to be with my family all that time, I actually will be sharing the boat with some of my best friends from YPO - Young President Organization. So the days will be packed with nature and family, while the nights will be shared with friends.
You may not know but there is no cell phone coverage and no blackberry on the islands. Which is such a great bonus - I hope the withdrawl from society will not be too tough on everyone looking for answers on berry...
Next time, I will post some pictures of our planet - promise.

Charles Darwin’s voyage to the Galapagos inspired his evolution theory. What will be the next step of transportation evolution?

Most of the time, the perfect place to come up with a brilliant idea is that where we are closed to nature without any modern, annoying gadgets. I am looking forward to see the pictures of our planet from Galapagos!

Dude you rock! Enjoy the trip, and please come back with some new found ideas.

I agree, Natalia. Sometimes I feel most creative on my bike, deep in the woods, totally lost, with an oxygen deficit... ;-)
I'm sure Shai will return from vacation with his batteries charged and full of (even more) ideas!

If a man comes to your front door and says he is conducting a survey And asks you to show him your bum, do not show him your bum. This is a scam. He only wants to see your bum. I wish I had got this yesterday. I feel so stupid and cheap. -The Bum http://www.widgetmate.com/posters http://www.widgetmate.com/posters Some of the best images available for free.

Hello Shai,
You should check this article about new Sony sugar-based battery:
http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,136327-c,batteries/article.html
Definitively not enough to power a car, but this may be a new area for the future.
Congratulation for the deal with Israel Corp!
Take care and keep going.
PHK.
