So what do I have today?

Momekh is talking about how to fail at something in order to get it right. Are you suffering from “Public Speaking meraay baas ki baat nahee hai” syndrome? I suggest you read what he had to say about art and science of delivering presentations. We connect to those who tell stories. Good stories. And I liked this one.

Searching  “Peshawar” on Flcikr gave me  some 7000 photos, and I thought I’ll post some of the photography I liked. These numbers are not encouraging and I think there should be a lot more from this city with so many tales in its streets and markets. May be someday I will pick my camera and start shooting. I’ve to buy one before I do that

So how teachers are killing students with boring and ridiculous presentations? 

I don’t watch TV. Who has the time? When 60% of what comes on tube is ADs. Yesterday I tried the opposite and ended up watching Sami Shah program “News Weakly” on DAWN NEWS. Clips from episodes are on youtube. Sami Shah has also blogged about the show. The lawyers movement was hilarious,especially when he joins the lawyers in their party. Don’t miss it.

This program is a good effort. We don’t have quality comedy on TV. Way to go Sami!

dehog tagged me for 8 random things about me, check out what Shahzad had to say

1. I’ve collected some 20-30 books over a period of 2-3 years (fiction & non-fiction). Never read them!
2. I live for great conversations
3. My work would always required better hardware, but somehow I’m not comfortable buying it
4. Ground Zero situations always catch me, and I start from scratch
5. I thrive in minimalistic environment
6. I like Google’s services, but for emails, Yahoo is still my number one choice.
7. I can be a good teacher
8. If you can’t market yourself in 30 secs, no body gives a damn about you! So be careful when you speak to someone, because half of a minute is all you have.

Zeb & Haniya album finally hits the town!
Now go grab your copy!

LINK-dot-NET Logo

What do you have to say about the logo of Link dot Net. Let me know via comments.

dehog’s view

First off, the logo is in no way even near to expressing it’s service, it’s like solving a mystery, putting bits together to complete the whole picture, like we’re investigators..

Then it has too much gloss on it, and too much glass, and thats on a puzzle, puzzling ain’t it ?

It has a poor choice of type selection, and add to hat the colours of the text used don’t stand out much either, specially, the green on ‘dot’ makes it fugly.

Also it has a childish approach in type ‘LINK dot NET’ I mean had that been written with a good sense of type, it may have looked mature and appealing and a part of the logo, but right now, looks like this logo was made by a 15 something year old kid, who just wanted to get his/her hands dirty with photoshop, or any other software for that matter.

Sadly doesn’t even qualify to even be a logo.

Asalam-o-Alikum
Eid Mubarak
Have a wonderful Eid
May your Eid be filled with joy and happiness
