Today, we received a surprise package from rushIMPRINT, a promotional product company. The package included five RustyBrick embroidered Kippahs (see Wikipedia for what they are).
I have a lot history with branded Kippahs. It started back when I ordered an LED Kippah, which I never got...
We just received our first shipment of computer decals for both laptops, computers, iPhones, or other devices - heck, even cars. The decals look simple and affix to mostly any computer...
Let me begin by saying, if you don't know what Woot.com is... you're missing out! Woot.com is the website that started the "One Day, One Deal" phenomenon seen on many sites now. Basically, their gimmick is that Woot.com sells one item per day (usually an electronics item) at a great price...
Sunday morning, like always, I come to the office to do some weekend work. This Sunday, I noticed that the door would not open. I then look again and I see that the door was pushed through and cracked. This is a bit hard to explain, but the front door is a pull to open, from the outside...
Imagine my reaction when I saw this error pop up! iTunes Connect is the place where iPhone developers upload their apps for app to review. Apple is super crazy about security. Each one of their apps require tons of certificates...
At RustyBrick, most of us use iTunes to listen to music. iTunes has simple library sharing built-in so you can view and listen to other users' music libraries over the local area network...
A new version, version 4.2.3, of the iPhone Siddur is now available for download. The main change in this version is that we added push notifications to alert you of important and relevant information to this iPhone Siddur...

Part of my duties here at RustyBrick is to manage the employee benefits. I always find it a bit comical, in describing health insurance as a "benefit...
Many users and developers of Hebrew smartphone applications are wondering when the Android phones will support Hebrew fonts and locales. If you try to view webpages in Hebrew or run an app with Hebrew characters, you will only see little boxes in place...
On April 1, 2010, I will be giving the keynote at the Market Saint Louis conference. The conference covers internet marketing topics on Search Engine Optimization, Social Media and Web Design.
Earlier this month, the conference announced that I will be the keynote speaker...
One of my first comments to Ronnie my first day of work was, "Where's the coffee maker?" It wasn't where's the bathroom, or, where's my desk, or anything of the sort. Later that day a brand new coffee maker magically appeared! A few months later, it shorted and died...
Yesterday, I tweeted that I want to see Avatar, but my wife has no interest in seeing it...
I guess I have been living in some type of hole, I just found out that Alex's (@FesikTheWise) pet, a guinea pig, is named Ajax. Yea, Ajax, as in the web technology used often these days. I 'interviewed' Alex, not Ajax (although I would have, if Ajax could talk) about his pet...
iPhones are cool but are only available on the not so reliable network AT&T. I use my phone mostly as a communications device: Voice, Text, Email and Instant Messaging.
I got my first blackberry two years ago and loved it. Now my contract was up and I was due for an upgrade...
I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Holidays! Happy Chanukah & a Merry Christmas (also for you out there, Happy Festivus) from your friends at RustyBrick. Wishing you and your family a happy and healthy holiday season!
Technically, we are open Thursday and Friday...

RustyBrick programmers have a wide range of interests and hobbies. A few of us here, myself included, are huge fans of MMA (mixed martial arts) and UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship)...
Today, I would like to welcome the newest member to the RustyBrick Team, Matt Ripston. You are thinking, we already have a Matt as part of the team - true, we do. So one of our guys came up with the clever idea to call this Matt, iMatt...
This week, I finally announced the SMX SphinnCon Israel event. I and my SEO/SEM colleagues from Israel have been planning it for a month or so prior and we finally announced it on Tuesday...
The primitive content delivery system known as "Cable TV" or "Satellite TV" won't exist in 5 years. Paid television service over-the-wire is now almost exactly like what America Online was for the internet in the late nineties when high-speed internet was becoming widely available...
There are enough quiz apps for the iPhone to keep you busy for a lifetime. Well, we at RustyBrick are always trying to think out of the box. That is exactly what we did when the time came to hire another web developer and another mobile app developer...
