Life Through My Eyes
When I originally joined twitter, I played around with it for a few hours and then gave up because quite simply – it looked too complicated and I didn’t get it. Months later, I was convinced to give it a second try. And I’m glad I was intrigued to do so because now is it probably one of …
I’m a news junkie. Everyone (and anyone) who knows me, knows that. I have ‘breaking news’ alerts from many different sources delivered to my phone, a few major websites are bookmarked, I have many RSS feeds coming into my Google Reader, I read the news online daily from various sources, I ‘follow’ newspapers, news broadcasting organizations and reporters …
I’m sure, by now, everyone has heard of the devastating 7.0 earthquake in Haiti earlier this week on Tuesday that has caused so much destruction, left so many people homeless and without food, injured countless people, and killed over 45 thousand people (and counting; the number is expected to sky rocket tremendously). Not to mention the amount …
I bought my own domain name yesterday and was finally able to start using it tonight. The old summaiyahhyder.blogspot.com is now summaiyahhyder.com (the old one should redirect you automatically). I’ve been wanting to get it for the longest time (well over a year), and i finally got it. I’m actually glad I waited to make …
Happy New Years! Anyone else think 2009 just flew by? It seems like every year goes by faster and faster than the year before. There are so many things i’m looking forward to this year – graduating from rutgers in may being one of them – and i’m quite excited to see what this new …
I don’t know about you, but i LOVE playing old board games with family and friends. Tonight, my little cousin Imran stayed over after a really long time and we (my brothers, Imran, and I) played a game of monopoly (that took over four hours!) the old fashioned way (after a few years) – and …
As the year 2009 quickly comes to an end, in ten short days, there have been articles everywhere online about “2009 in review” – just like there are every year. This year, however, i came across a new list – one that hasn’t been so widely available in the past, and which i found quite …
Normally, I do not take the time to write about an athlete and his (wrong)doings… but for a week now, all i keep hearing about are the million variations in the story and it’s driving me crazy. first i hear that Tiger Woods has been involved in a “serious” car accident (near/outside his home). then …
Gotta love technology… (sometimes). So as i am currently sitting here deciding whether to start working on one of my papers, my lab report, or my presentation first… i figured i would rant a bit to release some of my frustration. So throughout my whole college career, i have always typed all my notes in …
Is it just me… or did twitter suddenly become really big this week (for news reporters)? It seems as if all the journalists on the major news channels (at least the ones i watch most often) have joined it this weekend and keep talking about it on their shows. It’ll be interesting to see in …
