Was responsible for many bruises I have right now.
Today, windsurfing was fantastic, but really harsh for me. I returned home exhausted, fatigued and discovered a good number of bruises.
Anna should have docked in front of the Manesterly palace today. She is a Greenpeace sail boat, originally built in 1901, staying 3 days in Cairo to raise awareness about climate change.
Will we see the millennia old Nile valley looking like this, providing renewable …
I found about 300 Egyptian blogs not in the blogring. Most of the blogs are by Egyptians born or living in U.S. Many of them R stILL iN sCHOol dUDE with horrible graphics and style. Some even don't render properly and I think all of these blogs are not standard compliant. Despite this it is a little bit interesting reading how these young men and women are spending their time. They also post lots …
I have just finished reading the Handbook For Bloggers and Cyber-Dissidents released today by Reporters Without Borders. The 86 pages PDF is easy to read, although written by several authors, most of the authors did a good job in this area.
Before I started reading it, I expected it to introduce people to blogging, lead the reader to start a blog easily and help him/her connect to the blogosphere.

Seems that the only reason blogs get mentioned is politics, and seems that the only people whom are interested in Egyptian politics are non-Egyptians! In order to balance things abit, I've written an article about blogs, from a total non-political perspective, and am trying to publish it at one of the local English-language publications, in an attempt to get more non-political bloggers on board. Looks like no one …
I wrote an account on my trip to Sudan on 18th of March 2004, I didn't have this blog to post it to. So I emailed it to everyone I knew. I guess it is worth putting here. Since this post is very long, I tried to add as much photos as I can to make the post more appealing. Note that some photos have hotspots that are annotated. I also added an interactive google …
repeat the above loudly and hysterically while driving back home from the last day in the round.
Well, apart from the standard activities you can do in Sinai like snorkeling, hiking, sleeping on the mountain that God spoke in a way that God would never appreciate, sleeping on the beach and dodging police flashlights at night, watching the sunrise and seagulls, sleeping in an Internet cafe along side a stray dog, sleeping in a bar's toilet, getting your legs bruised and scratched in your first windsurfing lesson, seeing veiled women getting out …
This post is a little bit different. I would like to share some of my bookmarks and things I found on the Internet.
Few of the best music tracks I found available under a non restrictive license. They deserve a mention here as they made it to my main playlist. You can download them, share or remix some of them.
You …
