2:48AM - Entertaining Kuwait since 2003

Finally the US 2.0 is out. People who downloaded the Japanese version last month will not be able to install the US version on their PSP. Currently though there seems to be no new features in the US version over the Japanese version. [Link]

A few days ago I noticed that every time I copy pasted a url from my Google search results it added some new google gibrish to the url. So I did a bit of research on this and it turns out google has a new option where it tracks your searches for you. To disable this you need to go to google.com and on the top right hand corner click on Search History and then on Pause. [Link]

Finally, there is a new option in Gmail where you can change your “From:” email address. Click on Settings then Accounts.

This post is for the ladies. Do you get turned on seeing slightly overweight men naked and covered in paint? Then you are in luck! [Link] (SFW)

Note: I had no clue what category to put this in, fashion maybe?

Here is a link to coupon you can print which would get you 20% off at Hard Rock Cafe although personally if this coupon gave me 100% off I wouldn’t go there. Definetly the worst Hard Rock Cafe in the world. [Link]

Offer Valid from Tuesday the 23rd of August till September 30th, 2005

EBgames has two very cool XBOX 360 bundles for pre-ordering. I am going to get the Ultimate Bundle since that has the most goodies. So Nat, if you are reading this, thank you in advance for this very thoughtful birthday gift! [Link]

Have you google talked yet? I have to say I think this is the worst idea from Google. I personally don’t think they can penetrate the MSN and Yahoo communities. [Link]

Just another Aramex related post. I just got an email from Aramex telling me that mail arrived to my US mailbox. I guess this is also a new service since it never did that before. This is the email I received:

Dear Mark,

BusyNow brought this to my attention, it seems Aramex Shop and Ship are now shipping packages straight to Kuwait from New York. Check this, no UAE:

I was talking with a friend of mine and somehow we got into a conversation about Kuwaiti accomplishments. He was surpised by some of the stuff I mentioned and I figured I would list them here and maybe some of you guys can add to this list and that way we can have a nice list of Kuwaiti accomplishments and add them to Kuwiki.

Zed Al-Refai – First Kuwaiti and Arab to climb Mt. Everest
Mesaed Alhammad – Built a working spacesuit
Danah Al-Nasrallah – First Kuwaiti female to participate in Olympics, she was 16!
Munirah Buruki – First Kuwaiti female pilot, only 19
Fahid al Dihani – Bronze Medal in Sydney 2000 Olympics
Amani Al-Haji – Female Kuwaiti Opera Singer
Khalid Sauod AlZaid – World Taekwondo Champion, only 12 years old
Abdulrahman Al-Farsi – Owner of the worlds largest Kite (does this count?)

Do you know any more?

I just found out Zed Al-Refai, the Kuwaiti who climbed Mt. Everest has a website. Check it out. [Link]

My favorite is Highline, whats yours? [Link]

Why does a sandwich made by someone else always taste better than one you make yourself? [Link]

Wow, this slim NES kicks more ass then a slim PS2. [Link]

It really does… [Link]

I finally found a reason to get a Nintendo DS, Nintendogs. When I first heard about the game I thought it was stupid, when I saw pictures of the game I thought it was stupider, but then I watched a video of the game in action and I fell in love. Nintendogs is basically like an advanced version of the Tagamotchi pet. You get to choose your dog from the kennel and they you help it grow. A while back our family pet dog died, he was a daschund. The video I watched of the game involved a daschund playing with bubbles. Basically the kid playing with the game was using a bubble blower to play with the dog in the game and the dogs reactions to the bubbles were exactly like my real life dog. The on screen dog jumped around trying to bite the bubbles and then when the bubbles hit him he started to rub his paw on his face! Seeing that brought nice memories and I knew I had to get the game, I am going to resurrect my dead dog back to life inside the game!

I just found a good deal for a DS bundle on Amazon. A silver Nintendo DS bundled with a Spiderman 2 game and a Pro Gamers Kit (includes a Aluminum Case Games Cases, Earphones, Car adaptor Screen Lenses and Neck Strap) for only $129. The Nintendogs (Dachshund version) for $29 also. Now I can’t wait for the game to come. [Link]

Videos of the game available on IGN
