3D Cinemas in Amman, my 1st impression
Oct 27th
Yesterday I went with my brother to City Mall to watch Final Destination film in 3D, I didn’t watched any film from the series but the idea was to try the 3D movies,
The ticket was 8 JD and as the ticket guy told me, in 3D movie the more you get closer to the screen the more fun you will have… At the entrance I picked up one of the glasses that are looks old fashioned and cheap 
, I asked the guy how they clean them because they are not disposable, he said after collecting them they sterilized them before the next show. Once the movie is started I put the glasses on, they are light and you look funny with them and to be honest I didn’t felt comfortable with them for a few minutes. Now Is it really 3D? I can say yes.. the film was bloody with no story but the 3D experience make it nice.. The most exciting moment was a snake scene I felt as if the snake is on front of my face . I guess RealD movies are a good steps towards 3D movies, definitely I will go for more movies (Good one only) and I hope later on they change these glasses with cool one
Top sites in Jordan
Apr 2nd
Yesterday I was reading that Orange is reduce more the prices for the ISP to help to increase the number of Internet users in Jordan and Zain before couple of days released the Zain e-Go service in Jordan as the 1st provider in middle East (but Kuwait and Bahrain already had this before) also to compete and spread the internet. I decide to see what internet users in Jordan are looking for and their interest and how they are using the Internet. I went to Alexa website and checked the top visited sites in Jordan, the 1st one is Google.jo and the 2nd one is Yahoo.com, I said ok most of users home pages are these two sites no problem, then Facebook (I hate it) people in Jordan are wasting their time by putting their information public to world-interested. after that Youtube came; people here are spending lots of time watching videos on YouTube. Then Koora, you know football is popular here in Jordan. after that Alrai newspaper, finally something good to read (at least). Wikipedia came on no. 11, good to see it here… then I went to the list till I reach to the 100 website. what I notice is that people either listening to music, reading news, watching video, or adult content or socializing… Is this what we need really from the Internet, I guess in addition of encouraging people of connecting to the Internet, government and public/private sector should educate people the benefit of it and how really you should use it

Street Walk -Episode 1
Jul 14th
I always hate the Raised pavement marker (Picture on the left) especially when they use them in tunnels or before entering the circles; I feel that they cut the tires of the car and worst than speed humps. Lately I noticed that Greater Amman Municipality starts replacing them with Rumples Strips (Picture on the right) in different areas like the tunnel for the 4th circle. They do the job and they don’t hurt the car, Moves like this are mostly appreciated from the car owner
