On this page you will find some unofficial information about me, what I like and what I don't, in all kind of categories.
I believe this information is not less important than the information about my education, knowledge and experience.
 Hagai Pipko:

Music:
Is my first and main hobby (besides computers, but my interest in computers is beyond being a hobby, it's a profession).
Most of the time I listen to what my parents call, modern, electronic or loud music. My favorite genres are: House and Techno.
I like Agnelli & Nelson and PPK. Formerly also: Sash!, Scooter, Prodigy & Baby Doc.
Besides that I like, Pink Floyd, Queen & George Michael, mostly because of the lyrics.
Books & Writings:
I have read a lot of books; most of them are technical and professional, as an eBooks and not from paper, but I also read "traditional" books.
The last novel that I have read and like was Green Mile by Stephen King.
Currently I am reading a few books; Creativity in Product Innovation by Jacob Goldenberg, that's works with SIT ltd., like I do.
Flash Web Design by Hillman Curtis and Fresh Styles for Web Designers by Curt Cloninger.
I also like to read professional magazines and articles.
My favorite poems are Richard Cory by Edwin Arlington Robinson and The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost.
TV & Movies:
I don't have much time to watch. Sometimes I even watch it in a frame on the computer screen using a TV card while I am behind the PC.
I don't watch TV shows much but did see a few episodes of The X-Files and enjoyed them. I prefer to watch news, MTV (Cat Deeley rulez :-) or movies. I have seen a lot of movies;
my favorite subjects are: Thriller & Detective Movies.
I like most of the films created by Stephen King, Quentin Tarantino, Luc Besson and Steven Spielberg.
A few of my favorites actors are: Nicolas Cage, Bruce Willis, Tom Hanks & Angelina Jolie.
I particularly like the Dead Poets Society and Man on the Moon movies,
and also the cult ones: The Matrix, Hackers & Takedown.
Food & Drinks:
I am not a vegetarian but eat very little meat; also, I don't eat almost any kind of fish.
My favourite type of cooking is Italian. In addition, I love any kind of junk food, especially hamburger.
I can't live without candy. I eat a lot of candy; my favourite is milk chocolate.
I don't eat much, most of the time I eat only one meal a day at about 1:00 PM and some days I don't eat at all.
My favorite drinks are cola (Coca) and beer (especially Heineken). I can drink a few liters of cola a day and beer not more that 500 ml. (well I am trying). I also drink other alcoholic beverages
and like black strong tea, without any sugar. And no coffee please. I was addicted to coffee about 8 years ago and could not wake up in the morning without it.
Religion & People:
I live in Israel and our capital city Jerusalem is called the center of the 3 religions, Judaism, Christian and Islam.
But I don't belong to any religion. I don't have any problem with religious people, except the extreme ones, who concern themselves with nothing but religion. I don't believe in God, but I do believe in fate.
I am not a racist, but there are a few kinds of people that I don't like. First I don't like people who do not respect me and don't accept my difference.
Secondly, I don't like people who lie to me for any reason. The worst truth is better than the best lie.
Thirdly, I hate people who think that all the computer - related workers (including me) do nothing but sit behind a computer in air - conditioned offices and get paid big bucks.
If you think so why don't you try to work like us ? And shortly you will find out that it's much harder than any other kind of job.
Computers, Software, Games & Internet:
I prefer self constructed PC over Mac and Windows over Linux.
For development I use Visual Studio, HomeSite, Photoshop & Flash.
Now I don't have time to play games at all, but even when I have, I don't spent time on it. The games that I like the most: Digger, Doom II, Duke Nukem 3D, Warcraft II, Commandos, GTA & Soldier of Fortune.
At 2000 there was a time that I was bored with school and all the computer stuff and started getting interested in what people used to call Computer Security Related Information.
After a very big success and having a few problems with that, I understand that it's as dangers as it seducer and I have to stop with that.
