Egyptian Appeal Court Cancels Sentence Against Blogger Wael Abbas. Plus, Other Cool News.

by Drima on February 21, 2010

Good news: Egyptian blogger Wael Abbas, whom I had the pleasure of meeting three months ago in Beirut, will continue to walk free after the utterly nonsensical case brought against him.

Also, more news worth celebrating: Internet sensation, Kina Grannis has finally released her album.

To all of you lovers who went against the wishes of the holy bearded ones, and recently celebrated Valentines, I dedicate Kina’s song Valentine to you.

In other news: French cars suck. Kevin Kelly is awesome and has got a pretty damn huge sexy brain. Lastly, Apple is cooler than Microsoft, which is why I now use a MacBook Pro, and won’t ever be going back to the nightmare known as laptops running on Windows again.

EVER!

And yes, I will be publishing my Sudan post soon. Promise.

Sorry it’s taking longer than expected.

Later.

Hugz and high fives.

Famouse last words! “Cooler” isn’t enough in an environment that changes as rapidly as the computer industry! You’ll be embracing the dark side again in no time :P

hey, Renault makes a pretty good Formula 1 car and Peugeot makes very good cars for the World Rally Championship and Hotchkiss makes a good…?

Craig-I lasted exactly four days among the annointed and then fled back to my brand new HP PC. My girlfriend, an Apple cultist since the early 80’s, called me a troglodyte and then asked very nicely if my new PC still ran on transistors. Ouch!

Why have you gotten so impersonal? I long back to the days we all ‘discussed’ things and reactions were given to one another. Is this ‘progress’?

Still think you’re amazing tho :-)
