الكاريكاتير … قد يكون هو الشئ الوحيد الذي يقرأه السعوديين من اوله الى اخره 🙂

اعترف اني شخصياً احرص على الاطلاع على الكاريكاتيرات اليومية ونادرا ما اقرأ مقالات الكتاب، باستثناء فهد الاحمدي لكون مقالاته ظريفة وخفيفة ولا تجيب النكد.

فنانين الكاريكاتير السعوديون رسامين مبدعين (مثال) وغالباً خفيفين الدم (طبعاً هناك استثنآت)

في ما يلي قائمة بالرسامين المفضلين عندي.

اعتماداً على تصويت جريدة الرياض فان 92% من المشاركين يرون ان مسلسل “غبار الهجير” هو افضل مسلسل سعودي!!

وكان التنافس محموماً بشكل واضح بين “غبار الهجير” و”غلطة نوف” و”كلنا عيال قرية” على صدارة فئة المسلسلات إلا أن اللحظات الأخيرة وسعت الفارق الكبير بين الأول وبقية منافسيه.

انا في الحقيقة لم اعرف بهذا المسلسل الا من هذا الخبر و لم اسمع احد يتكلم عنه اطلاقاً، لا بمدح ولا بذم، وزالت حيرتي عندما عرفت انه يعرض في قناة المجد.

It seems that Saudi Telecom Company (STC) is going to change its logo, the new logo is all over Riyadh, without any reference to STC, with only the slogan “What good is technology if doesn’t make your life easier (poorly translated)”.

This time STC is using the logo one of the companies STC bought, STC bought 51% of Indonesian GSM operator Natrindo, and AXIS is the brand name used by Natrindo.

Django team released version 1.0 of the their web application framework, Django is written in Python.

I only tried Django for a week more than one year ago, and it was really amazing, and easy to create web application.

Even if you don’t write in Python I recommend you spend sometime to know it, may be walk through the tutorial. It has many inspiring and brilliant features you definitely need to know before select your next web framework.

A friend recommended that I read “The Adventures of Johnny Bunko”, I read it and I loved it, thought I should share it with others too.

The Adventures of Johnny Bunko is America’s first business book in manga and the last career guide you’ll ever need.

The book, which you can read in an hour, tells the story of Johnny Bunko, a beleaguered Everyman toiling away at the Boggs Corp.

Google is building their own new browser, very interesting features, it has so many advance features that makes you wonder is the next OS GUI going to be a browser.

TED (Technology Entertainment Design) is an annual conference […] It defines its mission as “ideas worth spreading”, and selected talks given at TED are available free on its website. Its lectures cover a broad set of topics: science, arts, design, politics, culture, business, global issues, technology, and entertainment.

So many inspiring talks (in Video and Audio format), you will find it really hard to keep listening because the inspiration effect is almost instant.

Very good read about cloud computing, trust me it worth it.

I strongly believe that cloud computing (or computing as a utility) is the way computing is going to evolve over the next few years/decades.

[t]he two biggest computing-providers of today, Amazon as well as Google, are building their concurrent offerings on top of really concurrent programming languages and systems. Not only because they want to, but because they need to. If you want to build computing into a utility, you need large real-time systems running as efficiently as possible. You need your technology to be able to scale in a similar way as other, comparable utilities or large real-time systems are scaling — utilities like telephony and electricity.
