I just finished reading an interesting article that was in last months Wired magazine.  It basically went into the idea that most people would be willing to give larger amounts to assist one person over larger groups of people.  According to psychologists they believe this is hard wired into most of our brains.  For example [...]

Most of you who have been around my blog, or any of the sites I have designed, have seen some of my graphical work.  For years I have been toying around with graphics.  Outside of any formal art classes from back in high school, everything I have learned has been self taught, as well a [...]

Alright folks, night 3. I think I am ready for some sleep. AlhumdiAllah (Thanks be to Allah; Praise be to Allah.) I made it up this morning in time to eat as well as Fajr prayer (Morning prayer before sunrise). I indulged in gratuitous amounts of water and gatorade to get myself [...]

Alright before I get to tonights prayers, I have to say that today started off a little rough. I ended up waking up a little late for Fajr Prayers, which meant no meal before starting the day off. It wasn’t really to hard until work started. I usually suck down quite a few [...]

My heart tells me it is distressed with Him,
but I can only laugh at such pretended injuries.
Be fair, You who are the Glory of the just.
You, Soul, free of “we” and “I,”
subtle spirit within each man and woman.
When a man and a woman become one, that “one” is You.
And when that one is obliterated, there [...]

Well… Interesting night last night. Thanks to a Northern friend of mine, I was introduced to the Hookah. So last night a friend and I headed out to Hookah Joes located in Asheville. We decided to hit the happy hour with half priced hookahs, and a very nice selection of beer. It was quiet when [...]
