Well the meetings and stuff are over, more about
to the end it was getting to be to much. Went with a guy from Spain and one from Mexico to the town to change the scenery. We were stuck in that hotel for 2 days we needed to get out or get cabin fever. We wandered around breathing the air. We dont get air like this where we come from crisp and clean. Just feels good going down.

So after the last meeting I just booked it to the train station, health
it really was close calls all the way. I had to catch 2 trains wihin seconds of each other, and as soon as I got on the doors closed. Perfect timing.

I crossed over to Germany to see a friend for a while got visit the cities around his area for a couple days get some change of scenery from Kuwait, seeing all these trees, and green with the clouds is so refreshing compared to our yellow sun and beige landscape.

Well I am back and to cut long posts short, this site
I will link to pics of my messenger bag after my trip.

Here are pics of it closed, open and with everything out.

I have to say that the Bailey Works Messenger Bags rocks my socks. They guy designs a bag right, the pockets and sway were just perfect for traveling and accessing stuff quickly, and that quick release thing is something just perfect for quick release and strapping.

Old draft wrote it in May 18 2005 at 12:02 figured should publish itThe New York Times is going to paid subscribtion service for their op-ed and news columnists. So all you Friedman fans will have to pay to read his articles now.
It is a strange week, illness just after CNN removed their subscrition service, info and LA times did the same just earlier this year, website like this NY Times has to go backwards.
I dont know who is going to pay for this service, cause I know I won’t. Salon tried the subscrition service route for their premium content and just kept losing money and they didn’t get a profit til they they removed that divide. Now they still have subscriber service but that just removes ads and gives a couple extra perks.
The problem with the internet and subscrition service is that people dont like to pay for something they can’t hold or own in their hand especially when they are just going to read it for 5 minutes when they are sitting on a computer. When people buy magazines and news papers its not just for the content but the portablity of it. I can access the internet on my phone and read websites, but I still buy magazines cause I can take it with me anywhere and easily share it with my friends.
What the NY Times needs to do is what I told Salon create a printable version of their content in a magazine form. And now with syndicated feeds becoming more popular you can create your own news paper. Imagine picking and choose what you read in a paper and have it printed in the morning like a podcast and take it with you.

Just want to share two things that are going on in the Arabosphere:

  • Boycott Batelco

    Batelco has revised the Broadband Internet (ADSL) packages so that there aren’t any more unlimited usage packages. This means you will be charged extra the more you use your Internet connection, pharmacy
    with no option to pay a flat fee.

  • Free Alaa

    On Saturday (May 7), Alaa was arrested with a group of activists during a peaceful demonstration outside a Cairo courthouse. The rally denounced disciplinary hearings for two reform judges and arrests of protestors at previous demonstrations. Alaa and a group of other demonstrators were cornered by Egyptian police, and security agents then apparently handpicked individual protestors for arrest.

  • It is interesting to see how other countries to compare them to your own.

    What the NY Times needs to do is what I told Salon create a printable version of their content in a magazine form. And now with syndicated feeds becoming more popular you can create your own news paper. Imagine picking and choose what you read in a paper and have it printed in the morning like a podcast and take it with you.
    Just want to share two things that are going on in the Arabosphere:

  • Boycott Batelco

    Batelco has revised the Broadband Internet (ADSL) packages so that there aren’t any more unlimited usage packages. This means you will be charged extra the more you use your Internet connection, pharmacy
    with no option to pay a flat fee.

  • Free Alaa

    On Saturday (May 7), Alaa was arrested with a group of activists during a peaceful demonstration outside a Cairo courthouse. The rally denounced disciplinary hearings for two reform judges and arrests of protestors at previous demonstrations. Alaa and a group of other demonstrators were cornered by Egyptian police, and security agents then apparently handpicked individual protestors for arrest.

  • It is interesting to see how other countries to compare them to your own.

    Today after having lunch at Gaucho Grill with my friend going home, illness I was at the light and this Bangladeshi guy came up to me and asked if I was going to Messila, I said “no” but that going that general direction he asked to be taken as close.
    So I said wtf and told him to hop in.

    It is a strange week, illness just after CNN removed their subscrition service, info and LA times did the same just earlier this year, website like this NY Times has to go backwards.
    I dont know who is going to pay for this service, cause I know I won’t. Salon tried the subscrition service route for their premium content and just kept losing money and they didn’t get a profit til they they removed that divide. Now they still have subscriber service but that just removes ads and gives a couple extra perks.

    Woman in action

    Going to Take you to a Rock Show!!

    It is 9pm & it is raining in Dahiya.
    It is 9pm & it is raining in Dahiya.
    I visited the art showForza mentioned earlier. I have to say that it was a show that contrasted of Arab life. One on left you had May Al-Saad’s vibrant colors of people dancing and fighting. The on the on the right was Samar Al-Bader’s more cooler colors with people sitting alone, read or of a quiet landscape.

    I think having them in the same room open to each other was a very bad idea. For once you walk in the first thing you notice is May’s side with its strong colors of red, and yellow. You were just attracted to that side and simply ignored Samar’s. I had to push myself back to Samars side to really take in her paintings. Sadly I gave them second notice due to the magnetism of May’s.

    Both had very simple and quiet brush strokes, pushing and gliding the oil paint to where they feel it just right. You can even tell they are good friends and spend time with each other and also inspire each other with some of the similarities in their stroke.

    Yet I am seeing a rift between then, May is moving to more dynamic and modern art style one example is Eid in Sharqia. She is moving to more expressive strokes. While Samar is moving to more classic, refined approach to her paintings with her subtle strokes. .

    I see great promise for these two artists. They both come from the same root yet now branching apart, but still inspiring each other. I do suggest at their next show together to either put divider to separate their paintings. Or one which I think would be a great idea is to collaborate to pick one topic and create a painting each inspired from it and place them next to each other. I think this would create a ying yang feel. One one side you would see Samar’s classic and calm, then on the other May’s modern and loud. Thus giving you the full spectrum of the inspirational piece.

    The other thing I miss about the US was going to see live shows. I was a fan for the music, sick the crowds and just that vibrant feel of life and it was all Ozzy Ozbourne’s fault.

    For that was my first big concert and rock show and I remember it fondly. I had not idea what to expect. I knew Ozzy was crazy and ripped a pigeons head off, ailment and my knowledge of his music was limited to his last album. Yet when he got on stage and the fans went crazy I was so confused and dumb founded. People were moshing, banging heads just going all out. At fist I just watched then the feel just got a hold of movie and I jumped in the pit. I was having a good time pumping into people and then some guy came right at me and hit me right in the chest. I must have flown 3 feet back on the grass. He came to me and asked “you ok?” I replied “yes” as catching my breath as he grabbed my hand “good then get back in there” and tossed me back in the pit. It was great.

    The memorable event of that show was the encore. He played Crazy Train, and told us to do pretty much go crazy. One guy climbed up a 15ft wall, people were taking of their shirts and lighting them on fire and running around in circles. It was all out freak show and I was a part of it and Ozzy was our ring leader.

    So in memory of that event here are some pictures from rock shows.

    mediaeater’s photosets on Flickr some recent shows.

    Both had very simple and quiet brush strokes, pushing and gliding the oil paint to where they feel it just right. You can even tell they are good friends and spend time with each other and also inspire each other with some of the similarities in their stroke.

    Yet I am seeing a rift between then, May is moving to more dynamic and modern art style one example is Eid in Sharqia. She is moving to more expressive strokes. While Samar is moving to more classic, refined approach to her paintings with her subtle strokes. .

    I see great promise for these two artists. They both come from the same root yet now branching apart, but still inspiring each other. I do suggest at their next show together to either put divider to separate their paintings. Or one which I think would be a great idea is to collaborate to pick one topic and create a painting each inspired from it and place them next to each other. I think this would create a ying yang feel. One one side you would see Samar’s classic and calm, then on the other May’s modern and loud. Thus giving you the full spectrum of the inspirational piece.
