Today I was looking at pages that referred traffic to my site and I traced them. I found one very interesting link. TinEye is a new Image search engine, that can find where similar images are on the internet compared to ones that you upload or link to. Someone had uploaded an image of Mfi Multiloader and TinEye linked back to my site. However I noticed that it saves searches in its database which might cause some privacy issues. None the less this search engine is really cool, and is already being used by Adobe, Associated Press, Digg. If you still don’t understand how this works, just take a look at the video on the faq page.

Yesterday I received my Bixi key. Bixi is a public bicycle service in Montreal. So I was so happy to receive my key yesterday, and I biked around and discovered parts of Montreal that I have never been to. As you can see from the stats I drove 39 KM, saved 10kg in greenhouse gas emissions, and 3 Liters of gas if i was to have riden a car for all those trips. If you want to know where these figures are generated from here it is: The distance you traveled is an estimate, calculated using an assumed speed of 12 km/h and depending upon the time of use. Source : Vélo Québec.
The reduction in greenhouses gases emitted is an estimate calculated according to The Urban Transportation Emissions Calculator for a light passenger vehicle, depending upon your estimated traveling distance. Source : Transport Canada, April 2008.
The amount of gas saved is an estimate calculated according to Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE ) norms for tourist vehicles, establishing average gas consumption of 8.5 litres/100 km. Source: Environment Canada.
A couple of my closest friends have finished University here in Montreal, and have moved on with their lives. They left some old clothes behind that were going to be thrown away. I decided to take it to the Salvation Army, so they can benefit someone that needs them. We Should all donate whatever we have lying around that we don’t need.

Some might tell you the world was better off fifty years ago. Others will say that we are better off today thanks to technology, however I believe both statements are true. Today we face many problems. We need to first solve social disconnect.That is why I follow a quote that says “Be the change you want to see in the world”. I honestly believe that positive influences can snowball. We need to work together to achieve! By Solving Social Disconnect we can have a platform to solve other problems!
Well, I am Egyptian. I only lived in Egypt for three years before moving to Saudi Arabia. In Saudi I made lots of friends from all over the world, enabling me to see all different types of cultures and extract all the good parts from each. Life in Saudi was great. While in my senior year of highschool in Saudi I attended a Model United Nations Conference in Saint Petersburg, Russia.I now live in Montreal, Canada and like Saudi it has many different cultures. The winters here can be very severe, and recently got me into a great depression. I did not know what was going on, I felt like life was not worth living, I had panic attacks (i sometimes still do, but i know how to handle them) and did not know what was the point of life. It took me a couple of months to recover, but recover i did! I knew that life is worth living if you make the most of it. At the same time I knew that for me, the point of my life was to change the world in positive ways. That can easily be by smiling or saying hello to someone you don’t even know, the world today is so socially disconnected. People are chasing money not to live better, but just for the sake of chasing money. My parents have raised me right, and I want to be the best person that I can be.
I was in Westmount park today doing a bit of writing, when I saw this dog. I had to get a video of it bouncing around!
Today I was doing a bit of shopping when I saw police closing streets, I knew something was going on. I took out my camera and started to record. It turned out to be the Pedal for Kids (Pedalez pour les enfants in French) Charity Bike run. They donate money to sick kids in the Montreal Children’s Hospital. Check out the website here (today was the last day of the run)
I was on my way to a friend’s house two days ago with my camera (since he was leaving) and I came accross this street performer. Very Cool I must say and I’m glad I had my camera, you never know when something interesting might take place.
Yesterday I decided I wanted to eat a nice waffle. So the place to go for that is Chez Cora, look at what I had! I’ve also included an after shot to show you what the plate looked like after I was done with it
