Looks like Nintendo has a lot more competition now. I wonder what Sony will do.

Found this free movie online (yes it is free!). Check it out here.

Wow.

On January 9, 2009 there was a vote for the following bill:

Recognizing Israel’s right to defend itself against attacks from Gaza, reaffirming the United States’ strong support for Israel, and supporting the Israeli-Palestinian peace process

We all know this bill had nothing to do with defending Israel against attacks from Gaza.  We all know this is not supporting any peace-process but helping the State of Israel continue to use American taxes to kill the people of Gaza.  The following men and women of Congress were the only ‘nay’ voters to the above bill.

• Congressman Dennis Kucinich of Ohio (D) – http://kucinich.house.gov/
• Congresswoman Gwen Moore of Wisconson (D) – http://www.house.gov/gwenmoore/
• Congressman Ron Paul of Texas (R) – http://www.house.gov/paul/
• Congresswoman Maxine Waters of California (D) – http://www.house.gov/waters/
• Congressman Rick Rahall of West Virginia (D) – http://www.rahall.house.gov/

Please contact them and thank them for their ‘nay’ vote.

Here is the full listing of the voting results of the bill.

This is really cool. Each yellow dot represents a plane:

Ever since the infamous Iraqi journalist threw his shoes at Bush, mini games have popped up on the web. Here is a bunch of them. If you find any that I don’t have listed, please comment and share it.

http://bushbash.flashgressive.de/ - Bush Shoe Throwing Game, pretty crappy graphics and animation, but still gets the job done.

http://blog.zanorg.com/index.php?perm=370 - Your Bush and you have to duck and sway yourself from the flying shoes.  I like losing in this game.

http://www.t-enterprise.co.uk/flashgame/playgame.aspx?id=bushbootcamp - Bush Boot Camp.  Basically you have guns and you have to shoot the shoes.  Again, another game I like losing.

http://play.sockandawe.com/ - You have a shoe in your hand.  You know the rest

Got any more links?  Feel free to share new ways to re-live the shoe-throwing experience.

I am a big time free loader when it comes to iPhone apps.  All I download is free stuff.  I only bought one app and that was QuranPro for my wife’s iPhone.  The four pages of apps and counting are all free ones.  They are just as good as the paid ones and even better.

The latest app I got is a game called TapDefense.  It is extremely popular and very addictive.  It’s so addictive that I play it more than my PC games and PS3.  It’s really fun.

The idea behind the game is to kill off all the monsters using various different towers.  You place them along a path strategically knowing their capabilities.  It gets harder as you increase levels and the demons become stronger and withstand longer than usual.

If you have an iPhone, I suggest not to download this game if you don’t have a lot of free time.

Alhamdulillah!  My wife and I sponsored an orphan through Islamic Relief.  We just recieved the bio data and photo of the young child we sponsored.  Due to privacy laws and policies of orphan sponsorhip we can’t share details, but I’d want to point out the blessing of sponsoring an orphan especially since it was not expensive at all.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

“I and the caretaker of the orphan will enter Paradise together like this, raising (by way of illustration) his forefinger and middle finger jointly, leaving no space in between.” [Sahih al-Bukhari]

Wallahi, when you receive the biodata info about the young child, your heart just softens up and you want to sponsor as much orphans as possible.  The cost is about 2-3 monthly cable or cell phone bills depending on your usage.  In other words it varies beteen $200-$500.

Click here to sponsor an orphan.  If you can’t then make the intention, inshaAllah.

This is pretty cool. I’m sure a lot of Islam haters will be very pissed that Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) will be advertising on the largest subway system in the world.
Here is what the ad will look like:
