These are exactly the number of alarms that I needed to get out of bed this morning, I have a sore throat and beginning a cold, so i took some Cold medication that also contains a sedative, I usually take it the night before, but this time I took a big dose at 2 AM since I couldn’t sleep due to my sore throat. It literally took me 4 Alarms to get out of bed. A sick leave wasn’t an option today as I had some work that was due today. What would you do in these circumstances?
A lot of children have been using small magnets as fake jewelry and fake piercings, usually they’ll learn to use them from some of their friends at school. Just in case, please do show these videos to your children to make sure they know the risks of using magnetised jewelry, or magnets to fake tongue or nose piercings. Also if you have these small magnetic toys do keep them safely away from children.
Its been a while since I’ve been to the Cinema to watch a good movie. I think this movie is a good candidate, i might be going to watch it in a couple of days. Has anyone seen it and what do you think?
The Ultrabooks, PC’s long awaited come back to the Macbook Air. Netbooks came in short when it came to performance, where most tablets today have nearly the same processing power. Ultrabooks are slimmer, lighter, PC based Laptops that can handle more than the netbooks that came out a couple of years ago.
Dell just came out with the XPS 13 – The Ultrabook that uses Carbon fiber instead of plastic for better cooling, lower weight and overall design
Our Friend @Q8Food has designed Magnetized I Love Kuwait ribbons, they cost 6 KD and for each one sold, 1 KD would go to Charity (to support Children with Cancer).
Last Week one of the world’s largest toy fairs opened up its doors in the 109th NY Toy Fair (2012), giving us a glimpse of whats about to come in the future of toys. With some of these toys I wished I was a kid again haha.

Unfortunately for us, when these toys get to Kuwait, they’re usually knock-offs from the original, and nearly all the good places that used to sell quality toys are now selling knock-off’s since people aren’t really looking for quality anymore and prices are getting higher and higher! In my case sometimes its very difficult finding a good toy. Most knock-offs are poorly made and don’t have correct age ratings and you’d find bits and pieces break off easily making it a hazard for our kids. Are there any places you’d recommend for good quality toys?
I was reading through one of my favorite photography blogs (mansurovs.com), and realized they had referred to a great, even Super Great offer on Lightroom 3! B&H are currently offering Lightroom 3 for $69 TODAY ONLY! Unfortunately they don’t have them in stock, so I put in a back order which should ship around Feb 20-23. Dont miss out on this great deal!
UpDate: Almost forgot a special Shout out to Marius and Bashar, I haven’t seen these guys for over 8 years now, we met at the redbull car park event. So thanks Redbull !
Ever since I was at school, I loved to carry every possible pen/pencil I would ever need, I’d used to have a large pencil case with all my favourite pens and pencils and would really only need to use 2 or 3.
Moving on to college I switched to having 1 pen/pencil combo pen which came with 3 ink colors and and automatic 0.5mm pencil, which I then also replaced with a large pencil case lol.
College was a different story since sometime you would need that extra pen/pencil especially when working on projects or your instructor allowing you to enter a double sided A4 handwritten cheat sheet where i’d use a 0.1 Uni Pin Fine line pen (like the pic below).
Now with a wife and 2 Kids, I still love going to book/stationary shops to see what kind of new pens that are available, it’s not like I need them, I use a computer at work and at home I have an android tablet (moto Xoom) and iPad and rarely need to write using a pen or pencil. I also used to draw (pencil drawings) which i have all sorts of pencils and tone ranges and sketch books.
What I think would’ve been cool if it was there when I was in College/School:
LiveScribe pens, Unfortunately I couldn’t really find a good justification for me to buy one of those and the nice notepads that come with it, as I won’t really be needing them for work or home, but would’ve been great for me for school or college. I used to write a lot, and sometimes when reviewing my notes i’d try to remember what the instructor said and couldn’t (especially in calculus lol). The ability to have a soft-copy of all your note would also save you, especially when your note goes missing before an exam, and you wouldn’t really need to type out your notes in a computer either.
I’m starting to think I need one hehehe.. What Do you think ?
