So on November 16, 2009 I will participate to the 1st Creative Commons Salon in the Arab World, in Jordan, Amman. Many artists, bloggers and entrepreneurs will be presenting their work and sharing their CC experience. For more details click here. I should be back on Wed. Until then, I’m going to miss you!!!!!!! 🙂
Here’s a summary of the event (that I took from here):
On the 16th Creative Commons will celebrate the first ever CC Arab Salon. Event is due to kick off at 6pm @Al Balad Theatre in Downtown Amman.
The Salon will feature media organisations,artists, bloggers and creative people from the Arab world who have used CC licenses and would like to share the results of opening up their work.
The Amman Salon is going to be a major step going towards fostering the creation of original Arabic content and encouraging the people to share it with the entire world. To this extent, the enthusiastic support of the Royal Film Commissionwho is co-organising the event under the Royal Patronage of Prince Ali bin al Hussein has been extremely key and encouraging.
Thanks to Rachel Hines for giving me the chance to give the presentation & workshop at AUB today. I had a great time, and met lovely friendly people. We enjoyed drawing some comics, that I’ll share with you as soon as they send them to me. I’ll leave you with some photos.
First, I am so sorry for posting so slowly lately 🙁 (Too much work and I’m late in all of it and doing my best to finish asap to tell you about it).
That said, today I will show you the poster I illustrated for ‘Ain’t No Smoking 2nite‘ event that will take place in Gemmayze on October 28th in 35 pubs. The reason I was approached for the design of the poster is this anti-smoking in closed areas post. I hope this will become a regular thing and not just a one night event. Have a lovely week end 🙂
Oh life! After a major disappointment/surprise in the contract with the distributors of the book, I found complete consolation in a cup of chocolate yogurt. It works wonders to fix all the problems of the world. And what’s more enticing about it is this billboard with a huge chocolate yogurt that they have all over the highway… If you have seen it you should know what I mean. I find it irresistible! Hope your lives will be full of chocolate yogurts! 🙂
When I read Qussa’s post about how women are treated when dealing with men in Lebanon in different places, I remembered a story that happened with me around 2 years ago when I was still in college and had just started freelancing.
Now I know this is much less serious than the issues tackled in the article, but it still shows how women are often badly treated in the workplace simply based on their sex and not on their potential. I refuse to believe as many might say that this is human nature and that a woman will always be judged on her appearance and not on her work. I hope this aspect will change with time…

Now I have to run like the wind to the closest plant shop and get a replacement before Arine gets back! Hush not a word anyone, deal? Hope she doesn’t check the blog before she comes back 😀 With this, thank God it’s Friday. Hope you all enjoy a sunny funny week-end!

I’m trying to have the book ready by beginning-mid August. So bear with me if I’m slow in posting. It’s for the greater good 😛 Plus I have too much work as usual. So see you tomorrow 😉
We recorded the answering machine for the new office yesterday. Don’t ask why but I just love voicing it! We should all learn to enjoy the simplest things that happen with us during the day. I think it is the simple things that make us happy for a small while that are the most important… Anyway I’m getting philosophical now, I’ll leave you back to your business! Have a lovely day 😀
Oh I forgot to mention a small detail: the office size is about double, and that’s the *real* reason why we moved. Anyway, I will be broadcasting to you from the new office starting this week! Things should get back on track in the coming days hopefully: we should get the phone, get internet… and get used to the new setting! With this, I wish you all a lovely week 🙂
