A Mother. Every mother.

I got on the bus on the first stop. I was actually first on so I snatched my favourite spot. Judging by the fact I rarely find it vacant, it’s a lot of people’s favourite too. No seats in front of you so you can stretch as far as your legs would go and you also get a golden view of babywagons that get on the bus so you see all the pretty babies ماشاءالله.

As I hoped, a mother came on with a babywagon. Placed the baby in spot right in front of me, giving me a wonderful time to see that gorgeous smile he had, and walked to the driver to show her ticket.

Mac OS X Lion: First Impression

Posted on July 20, 2011 | 9 Comments

So Lion has been released. Like the vast majority of every living soul on this planet (fine, excluding those that have been living under a rock for the past month) I couldn’t wait to get it on my MacBook. Headed right to my App Store and hit that Buy button!

New Theme

Posted on July 20, 2011 | 2 Comments

Inspired by my previous changes to Twenty Ten, I’ve finally made the choice to move on to Twenty Eleven. I’ve also brought along my layout, but only had to make a couple of small tweaks since Twenty Eleven really does have a rich set of content.

Twenty Eleven surely looks a whole lot cleaner, pleasant on the eye, and is far more easily configurable in case I decide to change things around in the future. Let me know what you think.

Update Yeah yeah, updated again. Bite me. (In my defense I like this one more though.)

Change Mac OS X Menu Bar Icons

As much as I love how Mac OS X looks, I sometimes hate how some applications decide to just do things their own ways and make things look out of place. Whether it be in terms of app UI, dock icon, or sometimes even menu bar.

If you’re anything like me, it’s hard to settle for this menu bar:

Google+ Hangout vs. Facebook Video: My Take

Posted on July 6, 2011 | Leave a comment

Google+ vs. Facebook reminds me very much of Social media in Egypt vs. Egyptian mass population. Let me add some details: Google+ (adopted by socially active people), vs. Facebook (adopted by almost everybody.)

Google+ Hangout vs. Facebook Video reminds me of the Yes vs. No (pretty heated) online debate Egyptian people used to have, online, regarding what, people, should be voting for when it came to whether or not they agree on the constitutional amendments. Although online it seemed No had it all wrapped up, actual votes came in at 70%+ Yes.

Google+ can win the debate all it wants amongst some of the cool kids of the online block. But in reality, let’s just remind ourselves we live in a world with 749,000,000 other people. Actually, in reality, it’s dumb to even consider comparing which will break new grounds.

I’m not a big fan of Facebook, in fact, I once actually deleted my Facebook account. (No, I don’t mean deactivate. I mean actually deleted it.) But I re-registered. I re-registered because it is the social network of the era and I needed it to socially connect.
