Quick Notes, Links
Sorry I won’t be writing today or tomorrow as I’m going to a weekend Safari. For those of you who don’t know, yes, I do live in Africa. For more background about this blog and its author, read this new article by the Arab Press Network (French) for which the excellent Patricia Khoder interviewed me while I was still in Beirut. If you still need more reading material, I was particularly impressed by this Now Lebanon piece, which very eloquently explains the Lebanese Oposition’s trap today (H/T Tony)While we’re at it, you might also want to check the new Subscribe tab above. It explains why everyone is using RSS these days. And finally, if you’re having problems with the header, it’s because I did a small resdesign to it. A good refresh (ctrl+shift+R on Firefox) should fix this.Hope to see you on Monday..
