My friend just asked to borrow my camera because he wanted to go shoot pictures of his car. I asked him why and he told me MBC have this thing at the moment where if you are bored of your car or don’t like it, send them a picture of it and they might choose to pimp your ride. So I checked the MBC website and it turned out to be true, they are now accepting applications.

If you want MBC to pimp your ride head over to their website and fill in the application form. [Link]

How long has this been up for? I just found out that Monster.com the largest job search website has a gulf edition located at MonsterGulf.com. This can’t be good for Bayt.com.

update: I just checked the domains whois info and the domain was purchased on June 1st, 2006 meaning the site is very new, most probably less then a month old.

update2: They launched on August 4th

If you are running a blog and are getting a decent amount of visitors you can cash-in by placing banners on your site. One easy way to get banners on your site is with DartMedia who are based in Kuwait. They pay up to KD3 for every 1000 impressions their banners get. So if you get 1000 visitors a day thats KD93 a month. Both Kuwaitism and Zaydoun have been using them for a while now so DartMedia must be treating them well or else they would have stopped using them ages ago. If you are interested in having banners on your site you can go apply on DartMedia’s website. Here is their link. [Link]

I just read on Kuwaitism’s blog that the English version of BBC World is now available in Kuwait on 100.1 FM. I used to listen to the station the whole time while I was in Lebanon on the frequency AM 1323. It was the coolest station filled with news, documentaries and interviews. Here in Kuwait I listen to VOA news on FM 96.9 but early in the year they changed their programming to focus more on educating people on the English language and its just really crap now. Can’t wait till I get into my car and try tuning to BBC World.

This site contains a lot of movie box office data including budgets, daily income charts, weekend hits, top rated movies etc.. and they have a huge archive also. Very detailed info. [Link]

Nathans is opening at Souk Sharq adjacent to McDonalds. I think they already have a branch in Kuwait but its located in some obscure area. They have really good hotdogs so I can’t wait till they open up.

Football players whose pictures grace the covers of Madden NFL video games are doomed. I had heard of the curse before but I just saw the facts to back this curse up and its just freaky. [Link]

Yesterday while at Sultan Center I picked up a box of Crest White Strips Premium. I don’t like going to the dentist so I decided this was a better way to whiten my teeth. The way these strips work is twice a day for 7 days you put this film over your teeth that contains a gel for 30 minutes. After 7 days your teeth become really white. Sounds too good to be true but I read a lot of online reviews and they all seem to say that it works.

I put them on today morning before I left for work since by the time I get dressed, and drive to work its a perfect 30 minutes. It was a really strange experience. First you better hope no one talks to you while you have the strips on and no one calls you because you can’t talk with these things on. The second thing I noticed is the saliva build up. Its like being at the dentist except without the suction tube which sucks.

I am going to take a “before” picture once I get home. I won’t post it online cuz that would be gross but I will take the shot for myself just so I can have something to compare to after 7 days and then post my findings here.

13- During a railway expansion in Egypt in the 19th century, construction companies unearthed so many mummies that they used them as fuel for locomotives.
