Anonymizer

Hello guys I have found a new way to get pass through the proxy around the world. Here it is a single free toolbar called Anonymizer, this toolbar is so simple that it works very fast and easy the only problem is that just use this on the blocked sites not everything because it doesn't give you access to every single website like .blogspot.com you have to pay money to get through these so just press off, when you try to activate the anti blocker sites just press on and go to the site. this works very easy and it worth it if you cant see some sites that you like.

What is perfect? What is flawless?

What's perfect?
This is a question that I was thinking about after we watched a movie called Gattaca , basically the movie was about the genes and how people could create their own
Children but those who were born naturally we were lesser of the society they called them in-valid, and those who were created genetically were perfect there were no flaws.
Is this possible are we going to that end or do you guys think there wont be such thing, they have already started cloning and other things in genetics, like making perfect or I should say good looking fruits.

Mad cow!

I was reading my news paper Herald and I read this big article on Mad cow disease, it is been a new discovering made by Canadian authorities that there is been a cow slaughtered having Mad cow disease in Alberta.This happened on Tuesday May 20, well all that SARS Canada was worrying about now it's Mad cow, there has been no Death reports on any symptoms by any one as far as I know, but there is a lot of fears around the province I live in N.S. they say that 90% of meat and beef come from Alberta every single day, those good BBQ that I have most of the summer that stake is from Alberta, but I guess this is a sweet new humming for farmers around other provinces in Canada.There is going to be more consumption for the meat in other provinces from their own then from Alberta. There is also warnings about not eating any meat from fast food restaurants like Wendy's and McDonalds now their hamburgers and meals are cheaper.Well there is a lot of things going on because of this in Canada.

The second news!

Hamedbanaei the Iranian blogger has started building a site called Second News, it works like the Google news but this is the first Google Persian News type that generates images with the news in Persian, after sarkhat.com another Iranian site that works the same but this one is only text it has no Images that goes with the news.
The only bad thing about this site is that the news is only from two sources of Iranian sites that end with .ir (Iranian sites) and those two sites are ISNA and ILNA both of those sites have news that are only published in Iran so these sites are Iranian Persian point of view. It would be better if they added another news sources like those websites in gooya.com this website is supported by millions of Iranians if they do something like that this site is going to be a hit in Persian communities all around the world, so whenever you wanted to see the most recent news on those sites you could see them from all the Iranian news websites.
It seems like they are adding other languages in to this website, right now they only have Persian but I hope they bring English too I guess this website will grow faster this way.
But over all I loved the Idea of this Secondnews.com, I hope it doesn't end up like bad junky leftover websites from 90's.

Whoopi!

I was looking around weblogs that I read usually, and I come across something very interesting in Iranian or Canadian? blog, he talk about a new comedy show in NBC and there is an Iranian guy In it with the character name Nasim. Whoopi Goldberg and his cast including the Iranian Handy man who has performed a lot of Standup comedy in London and he lives there, he is now a british Iranian.He performed most of his Talent in England. Now he is playing a role in this show and you can see the Sneak peeks and everything in here, (300k, 50k) and I guess you would see Nasim or his real name Omid Djalili making jokes and they are funny and all of his jokes were political and about Iran, when I checked the sneak peek preview. Omid Djalili has had roles in many movies and shows that I bet you guys have seen him, like in the Galidiator he played the role of the slave trader, in Mummy the Egyptian officer who wanted to see the treasure, and then he dies with the bugs, so he played in a lot of movies and shows. I guess it would be very interesting to see him as a handy man with Whoopi this fall season in NBC. It seems he had some difficulties after Sept11 with his stand up comedy here take a look at this interview with him.
This is what whoopi in NBC is about:"Whoopi," with Whoopi Goldberg as an ex-diva who runs a small New York hotel in an unconventional manner with her Iranian handyman, Omid Djalili ("The Mummy"). from Charlotte bserver.

The weather is too good so I can't resist summer all thought we have school after today, by the way it's Victoria day so we didn't have school today on Monday, and In Iran and U.A.E and all the other countries that celebrate Prophet Mohammad's birthday have had a day off.
So I hope you guys have a lovely day and a wonderful life until the next time I write, I guess it's tomorrow.

Today I was with others walking near a Cisco I guess I have spelled it wrong, anyways there were a lot of Iranians around in Halifax specially today. By the way this was an Inside joke that sounds funny.

If you want to know which one is I have few reasons, if they are Male:
1- his head is half bald
2-his with his mom
3-he looks at you
4-he is with his son
5-the last reason again his with his mom

Any ways for those who are Iranians don't take this seriously.
