An amazing project called the "Khan Academy" by a dedicated person called Salman Khan. He's a Muslim American who gave up a lucrative career to pursue a passion to educate people. There are over 2000 videos to date and they're still growing. All this for free! He does not profit one bit from the lectures he puts online.His lectures include subjects such as maths, chemistry, economics, history

A song by Roger Waters of Pink Floyd. It's heartening to watch the support of humans from all walks of life for their brothers and sisters in Gaza. Support has come from the very famous to the normal person on the street. It has come from Muslims, Christians, Jews and from people of all beliefs and nationalities including Israelis.

I Just heard the tragic news of the crash of an Afriqiyah Airways plane in Tripoli, the aircraft was returning from South Africa. We were shocked and saddened to hear this awful news. The information is still sketchy at this point but it looks like most passengers died in the crash, probably over a hundred. However there are reports that a child may have survived.My sincere condolences go out to

Above is a funny video by Bruno Bozzetto about driving in Italy. I think a lot of people who know the Libyan roads and driving attitudes would agree that it should be renamed: "Driving in Libya!". Actually in this case reality maybe even more bizarre!

I thought I'd make a video on Linux Ubuntu to showcase it, especially for those who use Arabic. There seems to be a lack of media on the Arabic part of Linux. I hope the video can give people more info on the subject. The above videos are the same but one is hosted on YouTube and the other in Vimeo.The distro in the video is called Sabily.

Maybe somewhere far away on a serene beach, a beautiful sunset, a gentle breeze and the comforting sound of a small camp-fire nearby (حطب يطرشق).Wake up, snap out of it!

A shocking video about road safety made by the TAC. It shows the danger of reckless driving, especially when under the influence of alcohol/drugs. The REM song "Everybody hurts" makes it even more poignant.

I left a comment on my previous post regarding defensive driving and its importance. When you have a dire road situation such as the one that we have in Libya, and when you try but you can't do anything about at, at least not in the short run, then you have to think of how you can help yourself, i.e. primarily by staying alive and healthy! The answer is Defensive Driving. I first knew of it
