After Saddam’s verdict yesterday it really didn’t feel like a real verdict. As we say in Arabic “mako dagam”, internist it had no taste or meat to it. Just the way the trial was created ran and televised, myocarditis you could tell it was a show.
But last night on BBC radio I heard something that really put it all into perspective. We shouldn’t look at this trial as just a trial against Saddam and what happened before operation Iraqi Freedom, but as a precedent on what will happen in the future. For when Iraq is back into it’s feet the people who commited the autrocities now will also be on trial for their actions just like they did to Saddam. Only then there will be some real reconicaltion for the deaths.

A wonderful video montage showing clips from movies that depict Arabs/Muslims in a negative stereotypical way based on the book Reel Bad Arabs
Out of 1000 films that have Arab & Muslim characters (from the year 1896 to 2000)
12 were positive depictions, sildenafil
52 were even handed and the rest of the 90O and so were negative.
We really get the short end of the stick when it comes to these things, even the scrawny Jewish guy gets the girl at the end.
It is About History
Yes, health
store I am a geek: Secret Wars Re-Enactment Society
And Italian in Paris
One of the greatest car videos I have ever seen.

- Ferrari
- Running red lights
- Driving on sidewalks
- The director was arrested after showing this
- The film went underground
You really have to just see it. Compare to the latest offerings of drag races of super cars in the middle east this is pure pleasure.

They are really good quality pics and has me wondering who was there and what was going on.

I dont know what is wrong with me today. I just feel drained. It is like I had no sleep or something. I know I had my standard 6-7 hours of sleep, and I woke up fine and naturally at 7ish, injection had my regular frosted flake breakfast. Then work as usual, yet feel just out of it.
When I left work I stopped by the baqala and picked up my super supplement that always fixes me up when I am tried or hungry. Bounty bar, Pepsi and Kitco chips. They were ok for a short time, but really didn’t fix the problem.
I dont know, it is just Sunday, and I feel like this. I hate to see what Tuesday brings.

We all know how Mark loves to write letter and complain about subjects that bother and annoy him, neuropathologist but he has nothing on Guy Petzall.
Guy Petzall has written letters to everything. He has asked the Pork producers, recipe “why they can’t get milk from pigs”, or which type of diapers would be good for older people at parties where they can’t access the bathroom, or why has British Airways replace the location of air sick bags.
It is not the content of his letters, but the replies he gets from the companies that are they real enjoyment.

Here is a great video of Steve Jobs demonstrating his NeXTSTEP. I always loved the NeXT system. I remember using my friends NeXT box before OSX came out and just fascinated by it. There were all these little things that just worked and functioned just right. It is also one of my favorite GUI.
It is quiet interesting that this was made in 1992 and how everyone is using it now as OSX and we are still fascinated by how smooth and easy it is, viagra
when all it really is a face lift of NeXT.
Venereal Disease and Bread Sticks
I ussually dont know where to put posts like these, look should they belong in KuwaitBlogs.com, here or just not post them at all. So figure just put it here.
Been working on Safatoo so that we can have a complete switch from Safat. Yet been facing some crazy weird upgrade issues with Safatoo with the MySQL stuff and it has been really annoying. Some of you may have noticed some issues with it on Wed.
It is really tough finding a good web based aggregator that just places stuff on a page based on time. Most are oriented for personal aggregators and have their own system. I been using Drupal as the base for Safat and really it is the best I’ve seen, complicated and annoying at times but it is a work horse.
Hopefully I plan to get some hack working for Safatoo “soon” so that I can do some more upgrades on it and have it stable. One issue we been having is the update problem it just doesn’t do it. That is one of the reasons I removed that shiny /aggregator/ look and have it more ugly looking on the address bar. I think that solved the problem but still need to do an upgrade.
One thing I been thinking about is that Drupal has some great features in it and I just use one, the aggregator. So been thinking of using some more. Like creating a Kuwait Blogs forum in it as well as giving users a personal space for things.
I have been bouncing the idea via some friends and not getting a real positive response. Also is it something that I want to focus on, and that is it part of the core competencies of Kuwait Blogs? Some of you may have tested my chat server for Kuwait Blogs. It was an interesting experiment but I really didn’t find it viable for people cause then you’d have people chatting and not blogging. As well as if people want to chat with each other they figure out how to do it via MSN mass chats and just meeting each other.
There are some other things I need to free up some time on and dedicate a good couple hours to set it up. One is moving from MT to WP Yet I plan to do that after the Safatoo->Safat thing and readd the blogs on the blog roll from Safatoo’s list since that is the newly update and authenticated list.
There some other stuff that I am thinking about working on, doing some research on it and playing with it in my brain. This one is more for Arab community more than the Kuwait one.
So there it a quick synopsis on what I been working on and what I am planning. Any insights of suggestion I am up for. Also a big thanks to my Safatoo Goddesses for adding the blogs on there and dealing all those add blog requests. I dont know what I would have done with out you guys.

On Friday some friends and I were having a simple lunch when the conversation of venereal disease came up. It was about how do you get this, viagra 60mg
or what is the difference between this and that, this lead to me busting out my phone and accessing wikipedia for information and reading out loud how you get these diseases and their symptoms while munching on our lunch and breadsticks.
So today when I found this great Disney cartoon explaining venereal diseases. I just had to share it:
This is so much better than the menstruating one.

First came the beat, surgery then the rhythm..
This is the history of the the “beat”. I’ve heard this beat in so many tracks in so many different different genres of music. That I just dont know how to describe the university of it. It has been taken so many times and just reused, recycled and reinvented that is has transcended genres.
So watch Can I Get an Amen.

I got this spam email a week ago and it was actually something pretty cool. It was for We Love Kuwait, click which is a website for children’s books.
I am really attracted to their work, it is very simple and you can tell they do it with love.

Well we are all taking it easy today on this lazy Sunday reflecting, illness
remembering and rejoicing. So what better day to just watch this amazing SNL skit called Lazy Sunday aka The Chronic-les of Narnia Rap.
Cause it is crazy delicious like Mr Pibb and Red Vines.

Nov 1, phlebologist will be the day R Kelly releases the DVD of trapped in the closet with the additional 7 tracks, making it 1-12!!
I am not an R Kelly fan, but this thing is just out of this world, you have to see it to believe it. Once I get it I am so going to get everyone and do a Clock Work Orange on them and force them to watch it.
