2:48AM - Entertaining Kuwait since 2003

Last time I saw a Maybach in Kuwait was back in May. Since then I hadn’t seen another Maybach in until the day before yesterday a golden colored one pulled up next to me at a traffic light. It was the first time I had gotten this close to one and I realized the car is pretty big. There was a guy driving it, not a driver which struck me odd since I would have definetly expected a Maybach with a driver you know. So anyway guess what? Yesterday I saw another Maybach but it was white. Pretty cool, 2 Maybachs 2 days in a row.

I first saw the spy shots back in July and now the official images are out. My opinon still stands, I hate the front but love the ass. The inside is pretty decent, good to see American car makers finally paying more attention on improving the interiors. [Link]

Wow, didn’t think BMW would be able to pull off a Z4 Coupe the looks better then the Z3 Coupe. The new coupe looks sooo fucking good! Can’t wait till the Z4 M Coupe! [Link]

Wow, never thought breakaway bottles would be so expensive! [Link]

Seems the videogame industry is pretty pumped up about Nintendo’s Revolution controller. Now I can’t wait till 2006. [Link]

A few weeks ago as part of the Opera web browsers 10 year anniversary they had a special promotion where you could register the browser for free on that day. Seems like the promotion went better then they had expected because now they have gone ahead and made Opera free for good. Nokia users should be pleased. [Link]

The Sony dealer in Kuwait has started selling the Sony PSP. The value pack with 1 game is selling for KD99 while a value pack with 2 games for KD113.

Just checked out the new Roku SoundBridge Radio and it looks really sweet. It has built in wifi to connect to the web and gives me access to over 10,000 radio stations and even allows me to connect to my itunes. The only thing putting me off is the price tag of $350. The only way I would be willing to pay this much is if the sound turn out to be pretty good. If it turns out to be built using some cheap ass speakers it might be better off for me to get a media streamer and connect it to my Nakamichi alarm clock. [Link]

Sounds reasonable. [Link]

Yesterday I added a spammer to the blacklist and it seemed to have blocked everyone and anyone from posting a comment on the blog. I emptied the blocklist now and everything is back to normal. Sorry about that.

Lacoste in Salhiya Complex have a 40% discount starting today and ending on the 30th.

I hate the fact that Formula 1 isn’t a popular motor sport in Kuwait. Actually I don’t think any kind of motor sport is popular in Kuwait. When I was in Lebanon if there was a Formula 1 race on TV you wouldn’t find a single person on the streets. Since I have moved back to Kuwait I have lost touch with the Formula 1 world. The races take place on Sundays which is a day off in the majority of the world but not in Kuwait. This means when the races are on I am at work with no access to television. Anyway I think I found a good site for F1 news. I used to check out F1.com and other F1 sites but they are all too heavy on the graphics and not very easy to navigate. Thew new site I am currently checking out all the time is the BBC F1 section.. except I use the text version of the page. Check it out, its very practical to use. [Link]

Two persons were injured by an explosion that rocked the offices of the Kuwaiti embassy’s information center in Beirut’s commercial thoroughfare of Hamra at mid-morning Monday. There were conflicting reports about the blast which was attributed first to a hand grenade, then to a letter bomb and then to a parcel bomb. More info when available.

Update: Turns out it was just a guy who brought a grenade with him to work and was playing with it when it went off.

A nice collection of Motel Signs from various parts of the US. I always wanted to stay at a Motel for some reason but I never got the chance, I guess since you see it so much in the movies and we really don’t have any similar places in Kuwait it becomes like something you can’t have which makes you want it more.
