Artified and back in Utah
Is that a word? No silly! It just, very indirectly, means that I’ve been given a huge responsibility to work on a project that is very close to my heart. The project involves the very large scope of promoting Arab Art. Promoting perhaps is not the best word since the Art we’re working with is […]

One Year in Utah
I have not made a post in almost 3 1/2 years! Shameful! A complete abandonment and I sincerely apologise to myself. I am going to skip 2 1/2 years. A lot happened in that time, much of it bad, but also much of it amazing and life altering. In the last year, I find myself […]

Many tourists and locals are visiting this Marina for the many great restaurants and hang outs that have opened there. While visiting […]

I’d read a while back the Wired cover feature ‘Why the future doesn’t need us‘ but it was interesting to re-read on this subject. While googling I came across this video […]
