According to Mahmood, a Bahraini blogger was reportedly arrested yesterday. This is scary.

What’s with all these Hi5 invitations I’m receiving recently? Here’s my reply: I’m not interested in any social networks crap anymore. I’ve been using Orkut, but frankly, I don’t like it.

It’s raining for the second day in a row in Hassa, and I’m loving it!

Jason Kottke decides to do his blog as a full-time job. This post will be trackback no. 116 to his entry. Nice and impressive.

Al-Hayat publishes a new article on bloggers of the Arab World. Can you find some mistakes in this article?

After what happened at the BABA‘s last month, I was really frustrated, and wrote something I should have not written. The idea of the BABA’s is great, but I think the situation was handled wrongly. I was not all that interested in winning. All I was hoping for is a fair competition, in an event where we can celebrate the good Arab blogs, and may the best wins. I think the organizers had several solutions instead of disqualifying of whole categories.

I really respect the people behind the BABA’s and appreciate their efforts, and I’m sure those smart people can come up with better ideas to solve such problems. And despite what happened, I’m glad I was nominated for this year’s awards, and I’m looking forward to participate in next year’s ceremony. Finally, thanks for Mahmood and Haitham because they gvae us the chance to get to know some great blogs and bloggers. Without you, that was not possible.

I’ve written a short stroy in Arabic. Please, leave your comments here or there.
