Few days ago Amer (my friend) asked me to check Jordan Festival website, I forgot about it and today after seeing the ads on the streets I decided to go there and check the schedule of the festival in order to see if there are any interesting events that I would like to attend.
What happened when I used Firefox to open the website? Let the picture tell you:
Apparently the company that developed the website is called IT Imagine and their hosting servers are extremely black listed. What’s going on IT Imagine?!
The 30th of June marked as my last working day at Boundless, Akhtaboot and Jawaker. It has been such an amazing experience, and I really enjoyed working with every one of you.
After a lot of thinking, I finally decided to go a step further by co-founding; Ideation Box.
So what’s Ideation Box? It’s a Jordan-based team, specializing in Web Development, Web Design and Branding Solutions.

When I called the number that was on the street billboards to reserve my ticket to attend “Amman Stand Up Comedy Fetival”, I lost the hope to be able to go to the evening that will host Axis of Evil and Russell Peters. They told me that my name has been added to the waiting list, but I believed that no one on that list will be able to get a ticket as people are very excited to attend such an event.
Few days later, I had the chance to get 4 tickets for the bonus show on the 6th of December. My friends who attended the other evening told me that they were amazing and hilarious.
Yesterday YouTube hosted its first ever live streaming event. It was a cool show, and one of the parts was when they awarded Queen Rania the first ever YouTube Visionary Award because of her dedication to breaking down stereotypes.
Accepting the first ever YouTube Visionary Award via taped message, Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah spoofed the famous Top 10 format from US comedian David Letterman to explain why she launched this channel.
