Hey, you reached my home page... hurrah!

About Me

Well, I'm 31 years old (and getting older), live in Tel Aviv in Israel, with my wife Michal (Who's studying Chinese medicine). For a living I work in TripTouch, a Travel 2.0 company. I also write shareware software (Metalgrass software), and publish a few technical web sites (Such as OLED-Info and MRAM-Info).

What I like

I like traveling, and taking photos (Hop over to my travel page - lots of photos from New Zealand, India, Samoa, ireland, Costa rica, ski vacations, israel and other places).
I'm using a Panansonic Lumix DMC-FZ5 camera (And sometimes a Canon Powershot IS400 too).

I also like reading (here's a list of my favorite books), and listening to music (And, you guessed it, here's a list of my favorite bands). I also like playing the piano, and composing as well. I recently released my first album, check it out here.

Other things I like: Skiing, tramping and scuba diving. And probably some more stuff that I can't really think of.

My blog

Yeah, I have succumbed to public pressure and have started my own blog at www.RonMertens.com/blog. Enjoy!

Guides

Following popular demand (no, really!) I decided to sit and write a few web-page related guides. How to write your page, how to make money from it, where to host, how to choose domains, AdSense, SEO, and more. It's all rather basic stuff, but a lot of people asked me for it.
