When the shocking no longer shocks 2008-05-06 23:05:22 I grew up in London. London is a big city. In a big city, there’s a million more chances of seeing weird and shocking things everyday, then say, in small town middle-America. I say that tongue-in-cheek, of course, because while in London the weirdos are right there in the street for all to see; in [...] Read more:shocks
Lost Secrets are Out 2008-05-11 01:26:49 Well, the time i thought would never happened… is happening! Lost writers are finally revealing what direction they always meant this show to take. I still feel as confused and Lost (the real reason for the name of the show, i believe, was to reflect how the audience would feel when watching) at the end [...] Read more:Secrets

The Two Best TV Commercials Out There 2008-05-15 23:52:44 These two are my all time top favorite commercials. The McCain Cool Quenchers “Arm Wrestle” / “I Love You” commercial is priceless, with the little girls expression and the way she swallows her last gulp as she says “I love you”:
The second is the perfect commercial, because it combines all the elements for a great [...] Read more:Commercials

Barak Obama’s Vice-President 2008-05-18 11:29:06 So, let’s assume, for a second, that BarakObama
becomes the democratic nominee for the US presidency. It’s pretty clear that’s he’s nearly there, so it’s a safe assumption. But now, the question is, who will be his running mate? The thing is, I believe this is a question he should address soon, because if [...] Read more:President
Oprah’s Favorite Things 2008-05-16 15:57:09 You know how, when you think of The Beatles or Elvis Presley, any image you have of them in your head, they’re always accompanied by shots of their hysterical screaming fans? These girls that are crying, and fainting, and screaming, and hugging, and dropping like flies at the sight of their idol? ok, well, that’s [...] Read more:Oprah

Cheapest Way from Downtown Vancouver to Victoria BC 2008-05-16 13:58:11 On my recent trip to Vancouver
, one of the recommended sights was to visit the town of Victoria, BC, located on Vancouver Island (this means, about 70 kms away from the city of Vancouver downtown). So as i began researching the best way to get there, all i found online was taking the pre-packaged trip: [...] Read more:Downtown
Maison du Kebab Restaurant Review 2008-05-22 10:16:02 This is my no1 favorite place. Period. The fact that this Iranian / Persian restaurant’s main clientèle are all Persian should tell you something: it’s not a tourist trap or a hyped up commercial venture. It’s a hole-in-the-wall place, but just walking in makes you so hungry, the smells coming from this family-run restaurant and [...]

Seth Godin’s Rough Edges 2008-05-24 10:25:21 There are some people you trust implicitely. And there are some people that make so much sense, it’s not even about trust, it just makes so much sense that you take their advice.
Seth Godin
is one of those people. Maybe it’s because i’ve read all his books. Maybe it’s because i saw him speak, live, [...] Read more:Rough

Is the US More Sexist or More Racist? 2008-05-29 16:03:55 In a post back in January, when there were still more than 2 candidates in each party for the US elections, i predicted that if either Hillary or Obama became the party nominee, then the Democrats would loose the general election and the next president would be a republican.
I still stand by this statement. See, [...] Read more:Sexist

Sex and the City - chickflick on steroids 2008-06-05 11:17:25 So i went to see Sex and the City. Twice. Loved it. Warning: if you’re not a fan of the series, don’t even bother with the movie. If you’re a guy, don’t bother either. Well, generally, if you don’t like shopping, shoes, girl talk or New York City, don’t go.
I loved it. But i was [...]
Obama’s win - what it really means 2008-06-04 09:39:02 I was watching CNN’s videos this morning, and listening to what the world’s reaction is to Obama
becoming the presumptive nominee of the Democratic party. Interestingly, in places like Lebanon, it was more important to them for a woman to have won. I think that the impact of a woman winning would have been greater [...]
Download Firefox 3 on Tuesday June 17 2008-06-13 15:15:50 I started using Firefox
over 2 years ago, and i have to say, i haven’t looked back once. I was even on the IE7 beta team for a while, and realizing that Microsoft STILL didn’t get it, i continued my love affair with Firefox. The combination of add-ons, themes, customization, security and simplicity makes Firefox [...] Read more:Download

Touching personal tragedies 2008-06-15 13:59:35 What makes large tragedies tragic are the personal stories behind them. On 9/11, i remember being glued to the television in Boston, watching these images all day, and never really being able take it in. It wasn’t until a few days later, that i heard the story of the small company (20 or [...]
Another fantastically well acted commercial 2008-07-10 00:16:25 I guess i believe in taking pride in what you do. And i realize that, for an actor, a commercial is probably not something that you’re super proud of. And yet still, sometimes, there’s a performance that just strikes you, because the actor really nails it.
See my post earlier about the commercial with the little [...]
