However, I don’t feel excluded, mainly because new technologies gave me the chance to follow what is going on…so for the millionth time..

I LOVE technology!

The 7iber team spent last week training around 18 young people from around the Arab world on using the latest technologies to make this possible. I am so happy, to be hearing critical youthful and unafraid comments coming from these youngsters…as opposed to old boring journalists that we are so used to hearing.

Seriously, these youngsters ROCK! it is so refreshing!

We won an honorary award at the third annual, 2008 Jordan Web Awards in Amman … for our work last few weeks covering the Gaza events.

I am trying not to be sentimental about it… because the word that would describe my feelings is thrilled! But it made me think about my life last few years… it also made me realize how blessed I am to be part of 7iber.  I truly love my colleagues… they have, over the course of six months, made the shift from perfect strangers into very close friends.

Watching how our thoughts turn from ideas into action, is like watching a sketch taking form and jumping to life in front of us… very surreal … a little bit like a Dali painting!

Not only we were recognized, but we had fun dressing up for the event! The guys felt like highschool all over again… well we looked great J
