I have been invited to contribute to the We Inform blog at the MediaCenter.org. Fellow blogger Lisa Goldman sent them my way (thanks Lisa :) and you can find my first post about the Saudi blogging experience here. The Media Center is a nonprofit think tank with a mission of building a better-informed society in a connected world. It hosted a Global Forum, We Media 2006, in London during the month of May, and you can read all about it at the conference’s website.

7 Things about Me
1- I am from Hijaz, Saudi Arabia. 2- I am currently studying in the US & fully legal. 3- Since I am an alien (according to the law), I am allowed to make grammatical mistakes and endless run-ons. 4- I do pick sides and call them "educated opinions." (I am pro-choice). 5- I believe that the number one worst export of America is "McDonalds", best export, on the other hand, is "Individualism". 6- I am becoming more cynical and less optimistic by the day (Need a cure). 7- I can’t tolerate irrelevance.
