Between yesterday and today, I’ve read at least 3 posts/articles that talk about how online advertising is a failure, one of them on TechCrunch yesterday by a guest writer (Eric Clemons), one on the Economist, and another on MediaPost’s online video insider. The latter focuses only on online video advertising, and it’s quite an interesting [...]
Ah so it seems we’ll be getting a new 50 Dinar banknote in Tunisia… (I know this news is about a week old, but I just found out about it.) The Governor of Tunisia’s Central Bank (BCT), Taoufik Baccar, announced that the bank will issue a new 50 dinar banknote. Baccar said that the new [...]
I’ve been in Dubai for almost three months now (oh, how time flies by), and being the highly adaptable person I am, I have managed to fit in rather comfortably very quickly, and I have to say that I really like it here and am enjoying my time a lot. One of the things I [...]
Seeing as Flickr is now totally blocked here in the UAE, the only options I had were to either move to another service or do what I’ve been wanting do to for a long time and launch a dedicated photography section under Subzero Blue. So today, I took a bit of time to install pixelpost, [...]

For me and my little family, January 1st 2009 was ushered in really quickly with a little break between preparing my luggage, organizing a bunch of papers and coming close to panicking, as only 5 hours into the new year I was heading to the airport to move to Dubai. The one great thing about [...]
It seems we’ll be getting a new 10 Dinar coin in Tunisia, instead of the paper version we have now… as if money doesn’t already evaporate quickly enough out of our pockets, it should become even easier now. [Photos found on Facebook]
Today was my last day at work, bringing an end to another chapter in my professional life, turning a new page for me to pen some new experiences on, launching a new adventure for me, a new quest. The last day at a job is a very emotional one for me, especially when you’ve made [...]
