Is this the time in which we are now living?
The Holy Prophet [s] said: “There will come a time for my Ummah when their rulers will be cruel, their scholars will be greedy and have little piety, their worshippers (will act) hypocritically, their merchants will commit usury and conceal the defects of their buyings and […]

My video card suddenly died on me today. No warning whatsoever. I don’t think I’ve even had it a year. Cheap thing. Take my word for it. Never buy a cheap Jaton video accelerator, even if it does have an Nvidia GPU on it. Go for one of the […]

Here is a site that definitely deserves the attention of librarians (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Librarian),
educators, and internet service providers. 
ReformthePatriotAct.org (http://www.ReformthePatriotAct.org).
From the web site:  Under the Patriot Act, the government can:
* SEARCH YOUR HOME AND NOT TELL YOU FOR WEEKS, MONTHS OR INDEFINITELY (Sec. 213)* COLLECT INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT YOU READ, WHAT YOU BUY, YOUR HOTEL VISITS AND […]

Everything is starting to come together now.  Here are some of the exciting new things we have going:
New TVs in every classroom
3 new Data Projectors
New iBook carts on the way
I've prepared an orientation for the students to the Media
Center.  It's meant to be interactive, with students answering
questions, but it […]

The police have issued a statement of regret. This comes after the Mayor had endorsed the apparent “shoot to kill” policy that had been adopted […]

I started back at work this week. That’s why I haven’t been posting much. It was one of those weeks. Wife got another fake tree for the house. I think it’s an obsession. The little issue has been acting cranky lately. Other than that, everything’s normal.

Things are getting better now, and I'm excited again.  My carpet
is still a mess, but there is hope.  I'm flirting with the idea of
updating the OPACs to SuSE (http://www.suse.com) 9.3, but I'm going to hold off until I get a
different computer table.
I have a Special Edition of our newsletter available online.  You can check it […]

…and I'm already wishing I could go home.  Sad isn't it?  I
arrived excitedly and with a smile on my face, only to find out that
the room had been flooded.  The carpet is still wet and

What a welcome.

I wrote an article for OneUmmah.net last night. It’s the first one I’ve written in quite some time. It’s called A second look at Jihad and Terrorsim. It’s one of those articles that just needed to be written. I’m sure I’ve made some mistakes, but with my limited knowledge, that is […]
