2:48AM - Entertaining Kuwait since 2003

It’s my day off…

Finally I was able to get one. It’s like you need to have wasta to get your hands on one if you are not a kid opening a Zeina account. Would have preffered the original one from the 80s though, the dark green and gold one.

Update: Here is a brighter picture of the original golden camel [Picture]

This is an interesting Firefox plugin I found..

Oil Standard is a web browser plug-in that converts all prices from U.S. Dollars into the equivalent value in barrels of crude oil.

When you load a web page, the script seamlessly inserts converted prices into the page. As the cost of oil fluctuates on the commodities exchange, prices rise and fall in real-time.

I just tried it with Amazon and its a pretty “fun” script. The price of a PSP is 3.97 barrels of oil while a new Macbook Pro will set you back 39.77 barrels. We should use this standard here in Kuwait, everyone could walk around paying in oil! [Link]

Many people have been complaining about Apple’s new Magsafe power plug that come with the new Macbook’s but these pictures on flickr show their might be a bigger problem. One guy came home to find his Magsafe connecter had melted… really freaky. [Link]

I like Campaign. It comes out every two weeks week, its free, it gets delivered right to my desk and best of all its actually informative. [Link]

Although I have recently lost a lot of weight I am now afraid I will be gaining it all again with my new chocolate bar craving. I am having atleast 6 chocolate bars a day and from what I am being told, its not helping my diet. So since I am attached to the habbit of eating chocolate bars I decided to get granola bars instead from Sultan Center and hopefully I am going to get attached to them. These bars are supposed to be healthy and won’t cause me to gain weight. I got the Apple Crisp flavor by Nature Valley but I haven’t tried it yet, I hope it tastes good, or at least decent..

Update: I just tried a bar and it tastes like wood. Actually I think wood tastes better. Need to try another brand like Kudos or something, they had a chocolate chip version.

Found this pretty cool daring Playboy ad on Adrants. The more you zoom out the more it looks like you know what…

Fasttelco is now also blocking BoingBoing. Qualitynet also haven’t removed BoingBoing from their block list even after all the emails and phonecalls. Sucks.

Update: You can now visit BoingBoing by just going to mark248am1.wpenginepowered.com/bb

Umm.. is Crunch banned in Kuwait by any chance? Its my favorite chocolate and I have been looking for it for a few months now but no supermarket seems to have it. Anyone know of a Crunch dealer?

Where are my keys? [Link]

Ever wondered how much influence Arabic words have in the English language? [Link]

Who would you rather have overseeing operations at U.S. ports?
(a) Arab-based ports company
(b) U.S.-based mafia

Its funny until you realize it isn’t a joke.. [Link]

Interesting, it never occurred to me that it stood for something.. [Link]

I don’t know how old this is but a friend of mine at work just showed me it. Give Stewie from Family Guy a command and he will obey. My favorite is “kill someone” and “fart”. [Link]

Starting today I am back at work. I had to cut my ten day vacation short because I am needed back at the office. I wouldn’t call it a vacation actually, it was more like being under house arrest. I couldn’t leave the house and I could sleep late or wake up late because I had to take care of Geo (my dog). Thursday his cast will come off hopefully. For now, it feels good being back at work.
