life update...

A few days ago, we found a nice Italian restaurant in Tehran (in vozara St) called COCO. The pasta was great and we liked the nice decoration and paintings plus the Italian music...it is not very big just six or seven tables and we selected one of the two seated ones setting besides the tall window with street view..

I am reading two new books (see down right in the "books on my desk" list). One of them is about lateral thinking and is called Six Thinking hats which educated how should one think about a process of idea in order to get maximum benefit. This looks like a great brainstorming tool for working teams....The other book is called "Persian Mirrors" written by a reporter who travelled to Iran many times in past and recent years..Just read a few pages but it looks like having a fair view of the events...

I want to record for myself one of confessions: "I am so letting my work to the last minute..." and I should break this habit. By the end of October I should get ready to present a project to the VPs of my company and it is only just half way through. This is a lot of stress and I am sure I will be killing myself towards the end but I should break this habit and start working harder now...let's but the deadline for end of September this time...

By the way..I am enjoying this site....Pandora

A book to save our words

Couvertureen

I have been browsing Handbook for bloggers and cyber-dissidents and found it truly interesting. I personally liked technical information it provides about blogging anonymously and fighting filtering (which is choking us here in Iran) but also because of the interesting section on bloggers and their personal accounts in which Iranian blogs are also highlighted by a chapter written by Arash Sigarchi (Iranian journalist/bloggers who was sentenced to jail because of his words).

Glabal voices on-line held an IRC chat about this handbook that I sadly missed. Look at the script here.

I believe in


What is new?
