I just got back from a road trip to Dubai and just want to but some notes out there if anyone plans to do it.

Most of it will pertain for the Saudi leg.

The road is long.
You will get lost in Al-Hasa/Hofuf on the way to UAE
All roads signs in Saudi point to Riyadh, visit
Mecca, surgery
Dammam.
The toilets are deadly, website
bring a pair of boots.
The road is long and straight.
Have a car that can do 160km+.
Customs will be a bitch.
103.8 and 91.4 are great radio stations that you can listen to.
GPS is iffy in Saudi as well when it comes to detours but reliable.
Your GPS will commit suicide in Dubai from all their detours and new roads.
You will get lost in Al-Hasa/Hofuf on the way back to Kuwait
A radar detector would be a good thing to have.
Saudi has speed traps near the resedential areas (Damam, Al-Hasa)
Speed limit in UAE is 149 in Abu Dhabi and 139 in Dubai!
Look like a Saudi to avoid customs issues.
Arrange your luggage nicely so they can easily remove it and inspect it.

After reading this article: At Netflix, order thumb vacation time has no limits explaining how NetFlix doesn’t have an attendance policy or even count the number of days you take a vacation as long as you do the work that is required of you. And it has been working for them. They have good retention of their employees, reached nearly a billion dollar of sales and are a great company to work for.

Suicide is Painless

We are all fascinated by people’s confessions and secrets on post secret and cialis 40mg cringe and then just forget about them till we are with friends and share some of the juicier ones and laugh about it.

Then you have these suicide notes. Left by people just before they killed themselves. These are their last words taking their secrets and confessions with them to the grave.

Clown Killers

As some have already mentioned I was part of a interview for KTV1 that should be shown sometime in April. I apologize for not telling people about it before hand since I didn’t want to jinx it and decided to keep it under wraps until the show was taped.

The interview can be easily summed up as intro to Kuwait Blogging and the blogging scene in general. We were mostly asked one by one on blogging, ask how we started, disease what we wrote and then it dove more into the political/social aspect of it in Kuwait and the world.

The show took over an hour to tape, abortion but it will be cut down to around an hour. So we will see what happens with the editing and everything.

It really didn’t give us a chance to get going and really discuss a lot of the stuff that we could have. That was occurred later during dinner. We had a really lively discussion then about everything it was a great experience having such wonderful, inspirational people around talking openly about what they see in the world in terms of problems and solutions.

I really wanted to have the cameras around for that talk for I am sure it would inspire a lot of people. (Could be a good idea for a show, “Dinner Talk” having people talk during a meal).

So what to expect from this? Well nothing much really in terms of a huge jump or rise in the blogging scene in the short term. It will be a great catalyst for long term things in the future. Just like any blog’s first post. It usually is never read and missed, but the later ones are read by more and more people.

Leaving for a week and first time in a LONG time that I am actually brining my laptop with me.

Yet I also have some books I hope to read:

Psycho-Cybernetics
The Medium is the Massage
The Anchor book of Modern Arabic Fiction
Post Office.

Medium is the Massage I have read before I just like taking it for inspiration. I am in the middle of Psycho-Cybernetics, epilepsy
Modern Arabic fiction is mostly short stories, and Postal should be an easy read.
