Fun Lilliy Thu Night YouTube Selection "The Guild"


I just started to get addicted to web series and that was because of Felicia Day who is one of the people that I follow on Twitter on her twitter account since "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog" I posted a trailer a while ago here on my blog. It turned out that she also had written and stared in this web series called "The Guild" posted on YouTube..
She just posted an interview with Jimmy Fallon Late Night Show which is premiering in a month and who I am also a fan of since his days on The Saturday Night Show with Tina Fay (he also has a Twitter account)..
here it is the interview:

The Guild Sesson 2 is playing on The Guild Website Now!.. watch it you wont regret it especially if you are into web games you will relate to it and if you want something original to watch.

The Whole World is waiting...
I love these photos on:
"Obama's People" in The New York Magazine with the nice commentary check it out.
I also liked this interactive page they had set with all the inaugural addresses of all the 43 presidents before Obama under:
January 17, 2009
Inaugural Words: 1789 to the Present


A look at the language of presidential inaugural addresses. The most-used words in each address appear in the interactive chart below, sized by number of uses. Words highlighted in yellow were used significantly more in this inaugural address than average.

I am trying to find links to watch the inauguration on the web in my clinic in between patients till this time I found these links:
http://www.cnn.com/live/
http://www.nytimes.com/ which has a link to a live video to start 11:30 am EST

Kal Penn Announces USAService.org Video Contest

I always believed in the power of all these web tools that we now have in our position ( YouTube, Blogger, Twitter, Facebook, Myspace) I had friends when I started blogging 2 years ago giving sarcastic comments as if getting your opinion out and sharing your interest might be insignificant.. but in the long run I have learned a lot from blogging, YouTubing, twittering...all the different social media and web tools... in these areas I got to see the intellectual and the silly but fun. I learned to express myself in many ways..
This YouTube post is an example of how much you can utilizing these web tools to be beneficial.. to help.. to involve..
I always and always talked about this or keep mentioning it that I don’t think we utilize these tools more often in KSA for more of an educated purposes or communicating tools for instance like in my own profession as a way of health education and direct question and answers between the doctor and patient as a reference tool.. trying to implement it in my practice has been difficult but I also have a problem with trying to communicate in Arabic in writing which is some thing I have been working on.. I think these tools should be utilized more to the point that it should be routine .. because its just there at our face all we have to do is reach out and grab it like they are doing here.

My Great Grand Mother Died Today

Of course I have so many memories of her forever... it was the saddest thing I ve seen as I watched her Middle Son Watch as they have taken her away to be buried in Mekkah.. he was too sick to go with her.. and he just couldn't go.. he just stood there watching.. its the hardest thing losing a loved one but I remember she had a good full life and seen her great great grand sons and every body loved her she was never alone.. had all her sons, daughters, most of her grandchildren when she passed.. we were all able to say goodbye to her as we saw her face one last time... Allah Yerhamha...
