So the other day I get a call from a driver with some goodies for me. Someone had contacted me the day before asking me if I would like to try some brownies, muffins and cookies and I had happily accepted and now the driver was here with my stuff. I couldn’t wait, brownies, muffins and cookies, three of my favorite munchies for me to try out.

When I first opened the bag though I was disappointed, the muffins were Blue Berry muffins and I only eat chocolate muffins and the cookies were like chocolate with walnuts or something and I only eat chocolate chip. So 2 out of the 3 items I couldn’t eat which sucked. BUT, the brownies were regular chocolate brownies and I had no problem with those.

I had a blue plate in front of me with a dozen warm brownies on them and they looked really delicious. So I had one, then another followed by another. They were pretty good, they were soft and rich without being to sweet or heavy. Nat also tried them and really liked them to. I didn’t know how much they cost or what the place that made them was called since I didn’t get a menu neither did I get any kind of material with information on the place. So I sent an email to the guy who had contacted me and I asked him for some info and this is what I found out.

The service turned out is called The Daily Fresh. They launched less then 2 months ago and are still in the testing stage where they are still finalizing their menu with the different flavors and prices. Next month (September) they will have everything finalized including the menus and prices but for now you can order a dozen brownies for only KD3. Thats only 250fils per brownies which is a really good deal for what you are getting.

Currently the only other place I know of that delivers brownies is LoFat. Problem is LoFat’s brownies cost 500 fils each and are about half the size of the brownies from The Daily Fresh. They also taste just as good so there is no advantage except the low fat part but info on that is a bit abstract at the moment.

If you are interested in ordering some brownies all you need to do is call The Daily Fresh on 7702422.

Etisalat the only ISP in UAE has recently started blocking YouTube. I always thought UAE was more “open” than Kuwait with all the alcohol, prostitution and a lot more westerners yet the ISP seems more conservative then the Saudi Arabian government. Last year they blocked Flickr which was EXTREMLY popular with all the creative photographers in UAE and now they blocked YouTube. Etisalat just really sucks. [Link]

This is incredibly funny, its a video of Darth Vader working as a day shift manager at a supermarket. Watch [Part 1] and [Part 2]

Note: Sorry everyone in UAE, I know Etisalat blocked youtube recently

Today is my second day at my new job. So far it seems like a very chilled out place and the people here seem very nice. Initially I wasn’t very nervous moving here since I already knew the owner quite well and I’ve been to the company more than a few times. I really love the workplace. Our work area or should I say design studio looks more like a workshop than a normal office. Our creative department is in the basement of a villa overlooking an outdoor pool which is really cool. The interior design of our studio is quite unsual and funky plus we have 2 plasma screens playing MTV the whole time. The place is really spacious and cozy with a large trendy couch dominating the center, it all reminds me a lot of my university design studio. The way the team works here also seems to fit my working style. So far its everything I’ve always wanted from an advertising agency and I think I will enjoy working here.

Enough said now, I don’t want to jinx it!
