It’s been a while since I wrote a post, and this topic is of an interest to me.

Watching out the recent news on the ban of blackberry service in UAE and KSA, makes me wonder will this happen in Jordan also?  I sure certainly hope not!  Otherwise my Blackberry will make a good Calculator!

In general, I am proud of technology achievements in Jordan, although we are users not inventors (I will discuss this in a moment), but yet, there are bigger goals economics-wise, and community-wise that are happening as I type.

I haven’t been to any of AmmanTT community nights yet, but I’ve seen the live streaming of the events, these guys really pulled it off, you can check their website for more info www.ammantt.com, quoted:

Coming to you on the first Tuesday of every month is a 2-hour event that brings industry experts, local technologists/engineers, entrepreneurs, idea-generators and just about any enthusiast together in a casual setting to meet and learn from each other.

The platform would allow us to share our experiences, projects, and ideas with the rest of the tech community. It’s a way for you to get people excited about what you are doing, crowd source advice from experts in the field, and even attract others to work on your project with you! -Who knows, you might even leave with an investment.

Another group have formed up already, they are called Tech Jordan, they haven’t started any activities yet, but they serve a different cause, they don’t have a website right now, but they have this facebook group.  The group propose the following mission:

To serve our members by providing a medium for communication and collaboration, and to establish initiatives and programs to provide opportunities for Tech Jordan members to grow and develop their skills

All of these initiatives are lead by Jordanian youth, which we are part of and proud of, BUT the question is:  Where are we headed to? Read the rest of this entry »

I have been thinking about losing weight for a very long time now, but I didn’t take any action to enforce this decision up till now!

I’m experimenting on myself, with a couple of logical nutritional concepts (I guess they are!), which some of them I knew about from a long time ago, and others I found on the internet and decided to incorporate them in my experiment.

Before telling you what am I exactly doing, I’m going to brief you on some information, which might help you in imagining the goals better.

The following lists some info, and describe my eating lifestyle before I started the diet in brief:

• Height: 170 cm
• Weight: 85 Kg
• Daily Meals: One or Two main meals, mostly junk food, thin Italian pizza, Manaqeesh for breakfast, etc… (fatty stuff, with lots of oil, fat, & carbohydrates).
• Daily Snacks: Chocolate, Cookies, Chips, Jelly Beans, etc… (in between meals)
• Exercise/Workout: none.
• Average total Hours of Sleep: 5 to 6 hours a day.
• Smoker: Yes.

So, this had to stop, and I’m in need of changing this, what did I do about it?

Now that I handpicked some of my old post to get back online, I guess I can get back on track with new posts and lots of news and stuff :)

Stay tuned!

5alas Mashi!  is back online with a new design that includes a robot, grendizer, La Royal Hotel Amman, Mojamma3 Bank al iskan, and 3imarit ilborj!  (check the logo if you want to know what I mean!)

This site will be dedicated to criticizing and making fun of a lot of stuff, in Arabic and in English. Nothing political, and nothing serious is going around, just having some fun!  :D

I hope you’ll like it.

A live massacre is going on right now in Gaza, does the Palestinians have Nuclear weapons, Chemical Weapons, Biological Weapon, long distance missiles, or any kind of threatening weapons?  Well No, they don’t, but the Israelies do!

The Palestinians only have their pride, their right of ruling the lands of Palestine (so called Israel by many people), and a fearless feeling of what the Israelies think it would plant a seed of horror in the hearts of the Palestinians – bombs, missiles, and others.  This is what the weak Israelies are trying to break and kill, and they just can’t!

For those who will read my post and say that I don’t have the right to say that Palestine is the so called Israel, well read the old testament, and check the phrase that talks about the land of promise, what is it? It’s Palestine.

Over 360 killed, 1800 injured, and 6 mosques bombed to the ground in a couple of days. What is right about this? Why are people from all over the world – Germany, Arab countries, Asian countries, American states – gathering in demonstrations to condemn the acts of Israel?

Israel is not targeting Hamas, it is targeting Palestinians, but we are standing on our grounds and will not be humilated by missiles and bombs, we will fight with our pride the bombs of Israel, and they will not be able to put us down.

God be with us, and may Israel bombs turn on them.
