2:48AM - Entertaining Kuwait since 2003
A9.com has done a minor cleanup to their starting page, they also fixed up their Maps page. While maps.google.com shows you satellite images of countries, maps.a9.com is pictures from the ground of store fronts. Of course not all the cities are available and its only US cities but its still really cool. Using maps.a9 I was able to show Nat every shop I passed by when I was in New York on vacation. Shops which I had forgotten their names I was able to find by maps.a9. Try it out. [Link]
Saw this green H2 today while coming back from lunch. Surprisingly, it didn’t look that bad…
A group of people in San Fransisco experimented in the idea of multiplayer gaming with strangers on the streets. They would for example take out their Sony PSP’s while waiting in line at the movies and start playing against each other hoping that someone else in line would see them and want to join in. Their experiment didn’t work out as planned since no one joined their games but the idea is cool though. I personally carry my PSP wherever I go and I usually have 2 games with me. It would be cool if while waiting in line at the bank I notice someone else with a PSP and we end up playing a multiplayer game together while we wait. Maybe once the PSP really starts becoming more popular here in Kuwait that would be possible, so far since the PSP came out I have only met like 2 other people who own PSP’s. [Link]

Urgh I hate it when software keeps crashing on me! I swear I get more crashes on my Mac then I ever got on any Windows machine. I hate like 4 crashes now in 10 minutes!

I just read this article below and I think its ridiculous, how could David Beckham not have the rights to a tattoo located on his own body??
—————–
David Beckham is facing a legal battle over who owns the right to his tattoos, because body artist Louis Malloy fears the British soccer star is making money from his designs.
Malloy designed and inked nine of Beckham’s tattoos, including the famous guardian angel on his upper back, and is determined to sue should the Real Madrid ace use the images in an advertising campaign.
The 42-year-old claims Beckham, who is married to ex-Spice Girl Victoria Beckham, tried to force him to sign a confidentiality agreement, but he refused.
Malloy says, “I was contacted recently and told they wanted to use some of them in a campaign. I said we’d have to draw up a license agreement but then it got too complicated. So I said, ‘I own the copyright, they are my intellectual property, I drew them, I didn’t copy them from other sources.’
“They still think they’re the owners of the images but if they use them without my permission I’d sue. There’s no doubt about it.” [Source]
Yesterday Google released the Google Video Viewer but sadly.. it only works on Windows! [Link]
Yesterday I discovered fried maki at Kei and its great! Why didn’t anyone tell me about it before? I am not a professional sushi eater so I don’t feel comfortable eating raw fish but fried is something I much more agreeable with. I had the Crispy Rolls and Prawn Tempura Maki and they were the best maki I have ever had. I would definitely recommend fried maki to any amateur sushi person.

Just got news that Homaizi is taking the fake Hungry Bunny to court. What about Super Bunny in Salwa? They have the same red circle logo with the yellow rabbit inside…
I was at the Kuwait University today in Shuwaikh doing something for work. When I was done I passed by the cafeteria which to my surprise turned out to be segregated in half, I can’t believe they did that. The funniest part is the Starbucks which is located right in the middle of the dividing wall. So, what you get now is a Starbucks divided in half, half for guys half for girls. In the picture you can notice the white wall on the left, thats the wall that cuts Starbucks in half. I was standing in the male side of Starbucks when I took this picture. Really stupid.
When the movie SuperSize Me came out everyone was like “did you watch it did you watch it?” And I would be like “yeah its bullshit’. No one believed me.
Now a new movie is coming out called “Mickey D’s and Me” that supports my view. The movie is a documentary made by a woman called Soso Whaley who went on a McDonalds diet and ended up losing weight and cholesterol points! Soso believes people are responsible for their weight gain and not the restaurants which I believe is true. Click here to read her interview.
