Did I mention that the highlight of my week is always the moments when Fast Company update their site?

I AM OBSESSED WITH FAST COMPANY. I can’t help it. It’s even more brilliant a magazine than Wired (though Wired wins when it comes to the actual design).

Anyway…

Fast Company have a slideshow entitled “Rendering Fear: The Graphic Design of Al-Qaeda”.

It is quite interesting, with some background info and critiques.

Check it out here.

Assaf: You are treating me with إزدراء
Roba: Shu?
Assaf: Izdira2.
Roba: What’s “Izdira2″?
Assaf: It’s the same as when you use the fancy “-ation” words.
Roba: Oookay.

Like I already mentioned… it has been that exciting time of the year again. Exciting for me because we at toot add new blogs to our network of best Arab blogs out there, and that means more fantastic reads for me every day.

What is new on toot? A lot! There’s something for everyone. We present you with the best that the Arab blogosphere has to offer.

Let’s see… What are you into?

Are you into Arabic food?
Well, I have good news, we have a fantastic Arabic food blog that will make you salivate. Check out Syrian Foodie.

Are you into Arabic pop-culture?
Well, it’s your lucky day. We have TONS of great blogs in this category. There’s Plus 961 and Baba Ghannouj et la Zeitoune from Lebanon. There’s 360dewan, Fourth Ring Road, and Buzzberry from Kuwait.

How does it feel like to live in the Arab world?
Of course, we already have several blogs on toot that portray the experience, but our new additions include: American Bedu, Susie’s Big Adventure, and Muscat Confidential.

Architecture and urban planning are your thing?
re:Kuwait and Interruptions will please your mind.

Art, Design and Fashion are awesome in Arabia.
You will LOVE this list. Check out:

Politics. Politics. Politics.
Don’t worry, we didn’t forget about that either. Not exactly political, but this lawyer is very interesting: Abdulrahman Allahem. There’s also Qunfuz, Under My Olive Tree, and Maysaloon, among others.

Technology-Geeks from Arabia.
I love the geeky blogs :) Check out: Anas Online, Arab Crunch, and Freeware Genius.

Of course, we didn’t forget opinion and journal blogs.
From the opinion side: Saudi Woman, Beirutiyat, Dhofari Gucci, House of Curiousity, Palordinia.
From the journal side: This Limerick Called Life, Living in KSA, Maram Meccawy, Quest For the Right One, Chocolate Mints in a Jar.

Thanks to everyone who submitted their blogs. You can still submit yours, but I’m afraid we can’t have any more additions for this phase. We will have another phase of additions sometimes later this year, so if your blog rocks, please sumbit it.

It just occurred to me that it’s really funny how I actually continue the thoughts I was having before I dozed off the night before the second I wake up.

Usually, I wake up to last night’s thoughts.

I am the world’s most irritating sleeper. I sleep with my eyes open (runs in the family), I can carry out discussions while asleep (runs in the family), and I continue the conversations that I was having eight hours ago as soon as I’m awake.

Does anything like that happen to you?

I don’t. But Ted Ross, who I don’t know either, is apparently looking for him on Facebook.

Brilliant Facebook ad idea, especially if it’s targeted at annoying the heck out of Mo Ghanem. I’m super banner-blind (given that I’m regular blind as well), and it got me to click.

Yo Mo, Ted is looking for you.

(Let’s hope this isn’t a milk-carton Facebook-style “LOST” announcement)
