The moto photo doesn't do this bowl of ice cream justice. It looks like dog food but... This is a Nestle paradise vanilla ice cream with le choix de president chocolate chunk cookies crushed on top, with a layer of whipped cream with Cadbury dairymilk chocolate chips. Probably the best ice cream one can ever experience.

Row, row, row your boat, Gently down the stream. Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, Life is but a dream.

This guy have been taking care of my haircut for like 12 years. I tried several times to find someone else to do his job, but no one does it better. No one knows how to keep a customer like this guy. He got a mobile phone back in 1998 or 1999 and used it to get in contact with his customers and send them SMS when he wants to broadcast a message. Keeps a neat contact list of each customer and sends greetings in their time. He even relocated once, he made sure to call and tell me about it. About 6 or 7 years ago he was forced to close down his business for 2 months, after trouble with the taxes or something like that I can't remember. He announced it by SMS and went to people to their homes. He can speak some broken english and claims that he can speak greek. Used to work in Greece and South Africa for some time before deciding that Egyptians are in need of his skill. Probably, he just wanted to be close to his family and relatives. But he makes sure that each new customer knows that he used to work in those two countries.

an interesting bookstore .. needs another visit

Have been creating mashups of several weblogs. This is a screenshot of the Globalvoices mashup.

Global Voices Online

Global Voices Online is a non-profit global citizens’ media project. Basicly a selection of what bloggers around the world are saying. Hand picked and refined. global voices + google maps

Omraneya

Is a cheap automated Egyptian blogs aggregator. Omraneya + Google maps

So ?

Basically these mashups work by feeding an RSS feed to geonames RSStoGeoRSS service that is then fed to Google maps which recently understands georss. GeoRSS is a cool standard to add location information in an RSS feed. Unfortunatly, Zooomr doesn't do georss yet.
