So I haven’t written in almost 4 months. Disgraceful, I know. No good excuse really. Anyway, I was sent something recently that did make me want to take the effort to write; perhaps posting this information nugget will spur the desire to shake awake this blog again…I dunno. Anyhoo. 3 Indian boys have decided to [...]

Working on the Dubai International Film Festival is as exhilarating as it is exhausting. My main role has been to manage real-time updates from the festival, i.e. live-tweet /Facebook from the event as much as possible. Fun, eh? Anyhoo, with a million things happening at the same time, my responsibilities extended into doing anything needed [...]

Blogging and dinner

In my mental quest to get this blog active again, work has overruled and left me drained of any ounce of intelligence or wit to share. But, after a long day where I went up the Burj Dubai (yes, lucky me — privileges of working for who I work for!), did a PR proposal, and [...]

So, yeah…

I wrote my last post on vagablogging a few days ago, you can read it here. It doesn’t really say much but hey, it’s the last squeak from my vagabonding life. Thanks to all the readers who wrote me emails saying that they liked my posts and will miss them! It’s so great to hear [...]

2009.

Can you believe it’s 2009?! I remember the Y2K chaos vividly…that was 10 years ago. Time flies so quickly, it scares me. One day I’ll wake up and I’ll be 60, probably wondering where all my life went. Overall, 2008 was a phenomenal year for me, a lot happened: I lived in Madrid, my heart [...]

Thanks to Twitter and Facebook, I was informed that Matthew Mullenweg, founding developer of WordPress is in Dubai, and somebody (Fouad?) has thrown together an opportunity to meet him this Friday. That’s pretty cool. I’m going to pass by to say hi and hopefully connect with some local bloggers and people working in Social Media. [...]
