Today I will travel to Doha, Qatar, to attend the 2nd Al Jazeera Forum (Arabic). The theme for this year’s forum will be “Defending Freedom, Defining Responsibility,” and it’s supposed to be interesting. I’m also looking forward to meet some online friends for the first time.

Back to Hassa, and not much to talk about. Except this: While I was there, my friends at KFUPM told me that all the academic buildings in the university are now equipped with Wi-Fi connection. They say the students dorms are next. Meanwhile, everything related to IT in KSU is an absolute awful state.

Last night I left Hassa. I’m writing this from the KFUPM students dorm in Dhahran. I’ve got something to do in Khobar this morning, and then I’ll come back to Hassa in a few hours inshallah.

A very good piece on friendship from the one and only Dave Winer.

Check out The “Impeach Bush” Van. Funny. (via Buzz Machine)

Did you know that Google has a page for music search. I was looking for some info about an album, and I noticed there was an additional button at the top says “Search Music.” It is nice. They have pages for artists, where you can find their albums, photos, and more. Maybe it was there before but I never seen it till today. Check it out.

Al-Hayat website has a very long interview with Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the Secretary General of Hizbullah.
