(Above: the awesome toot team with the awards)
I just got back from the Jordan Web Awards where the toot table screamed so loud after toot won the gold shield and Ikbis won the bronze shield for the Entertainment and Blogs Category. It really feels great! After a year of tooting several times a day every day, and after watching it grow from 50 blogs to 147, I have grown to really love that place, and it’s wonderful seeing something I love so much get recognized. Hat tips to Wael for the brilliant design that purplifies my days, Jad for creating the backdoor interface that I actually still enjoy using, a year on, and all the tooters whose blogs I have learned so much from.
Congratulations toot, toot team, tooters, and anyone who enjoys toot!
Also, congratulations to toot’s sister site, Ikbis, and what a great job for one so young! YAY!
The award:
CONGRATS TOOT!!!

The Associated Press on January 25, 2007 reported that the first honor killing of 2007 in Jordan occurred when a father fatally shot his 17-year-old daughter. Source.
It is not often that I find myself too disgusted to even want to write about something. Shu hal sharaf il ma beswa ta3reefeh?
Of course though, what is worth even less than this man, his life, and his honor is article 340 of the Penal Code of Jordanian law. I want to yell, to scream, to tear up the newspaper. What makes it much worse is that the people responsible for upholding article 340 of the Penal Code is the Lower House of Parliament, elected by the people, elected by us.
Pathetic.
What the hell? What kind of sick society do we live in?

As a part of the new marketing campaign “The Coke Side of Life“, Coca-Cola is apparently also redesigning the can, and I think the redesign is brilliant! I like the drift back to minimalist contours and solid colors, though I might prefer the shape of the older design as I have come to associate Coke the brand with curviness (thank the Nancy Ajram Coca-Cola commercials).
What do you prefer? The old can or the new one?
