A couple of weeks ago, we got a very interesting email from the “Contact Us” in Jordan Planet site:

More than a month ago, I got an email from an old friend, Robin Miller (Roblimo) of OSTG checking on me, and asking me if I might be interested in having an interview for one of my daily visits and favorites, Slashdot. Happily I agreed, and I was delighted and overwhelmed by the questions that […]
Every now and then, when I get into a Taxi, and ask them to head to Marj Al-Hamam (7km outside Amman, where I live) I get a “Do you know how to reach it, because I don’t”.. now I am used to being asked that every now and then.. But today, for the first time, […]

I was lucky to meet Yaman the day before, as he brought to my attention that they are screening the movie @ “Makan” in Jabal El-Waibdeh. I first heard about the film in the pilot of JameedKast, and added it to my to-watch list.
As I do all the time, I forgot the time of the screening, and arrived 1 hour before (6:30 instead of 7:30).. after spending an hour walking downtown (which I hadn’t for some time) I went back, sat down, and started the journey. The films takes us to Northern Iraq, to a Kurdish village near Turkish borders, with refugee children who are making a living out of digging land-mines, and it starts in 2003 2 weeks before the US invasion of Iraq.
The film is rich with characters, I’ve rarely seen such moving performances from children. Film had everything, comedy, heart-tearing drama, and even some action. The Only reason that I didn’t shed any tear while watching it is because I was in a public place, and I have wajaha to maintain.
I will have to second Jameed’s 2 thumbs-up to the film, and encourage everyone to watch it.
This morning I heard an interesting report in BBC Arabic about a news report saying that the Chairman of Jordan Television (Warning: An annoying site with parts of it working with a “DLS Connection” as mentioned in the Arabic section) resigned yesterday, and along with him a number of board members resigned as well.
