Wifey: Did you know A Son’s Sacrifice was shown on PBS? and we missed it!
Azeem: Ugh, Yeah… You should really read my blog more often
Wifey: WHAT!!! We live together!

The inside moves were Reminiscent of a legend named Penny Hardaway. Watch this:

The Boondocks won a Peabody for this episode:
Imagine if Martin Luther King Jr. didn’t die when he was shot, rather he went into a coma and awoke 30 years later:

Interesting way for Aaron Magruder to comment on the state of his own people.Now some reflections on the current election and the status of race (issues) in this country. Let me ask you a simple question: Would Barrack Obama have a chance at the U.S presidency if he were not light skinned? I don’t think so, he would not be taken as seriously if he was dark (even by black people). We know of this self hate all too well in the Indian Subcontinent.His good looks are really helping him cut through the racial bias. Like Mos Def said.. he’s a good looking man. He has been put on numerous magazine covers, which has given him serious national exposure (even more so than Edwards). I think he should take Oprah on tour with him like Huckabee does with Chuck Norris.

Popular Muslim Blogger Umar Lee wrote a not so obviously satirical letter from Obama about his religious identity. This is also a racial issue because it has to do with Obama’s roots.

On a related note, Mitt Romney interacts with parade marchers on MLK day and stumbles over himself trying to use pop/hip-hop references. While taking pictures with a group of black kids he says “Who let the dogs out!” WTH, what a moron! Then he refers to a little black baby as Michael Jordan, says bling bling and comments on a little girls pretty (white) gloves! One youtube commenter says this must be his first time around black people (causing him to act so awkwardly). He wouldn’t do the same thing with prospective voters of the Caucasian race would he?

I have seen this film in its entire length. It’s really good. So good that it won at the Tribeca Film Festival this year for Best Documentary Short. I also had the pleasure of working with Musa Sayeed and Yoni Brook (the producers and director) of this film on a short documentary of the AerosolArabic USA Arts and Islam Tour. You can view an early version of the documentary they working on for that tour here.

A Son’s Sacrifice is about:

I had previously reported on Dave Chappelle becoming Muslim, and even posed a question and had it answered on Time Magazines Website. Amir blogged about Dave becoming a co-executive producer for a future Allah Made Me Funny DVD.

Well now Recently Dave was in the UK and did a short stand up bit. Watch Then Read my commentary (Warning!: Its Dave Chappelle! - not appropriate for all audiences!)

I recently switched from Joomla over to Wordpress. One major step which was preventing me from making the move for so long was the export process. Then I found a post on rangit.com which had a script which would allow you to move the content over. But there was a problem. Wordpress had changed its database schema in its latest version (2.3.2) thus breaking the script (linked above). So I decided to take this on as a side project and fix it. I also made some changes which will make it even easier to use this script; such as allowing the user to set table prefixes in the config file.

UPDATE: This version of the script has been tested and works on all versions of Joomla between  1.0.12 - 1.5 and Wordpress 2.3.2 -2.7 and works pretty smoothly. So it should work with the latest versions of both CMS platforms! Make sure to post your success or failure and which version you were using in the comments.

Step by Step Instruction (with Screenshots):

1. Unzip Joomla2WordPress.zip
2. Edit config.php and enter all missing values

3. Upload files to /export on your server

4. Add Categories in wordpress which you want to import into
5. Open www.yoursite.com/export/index.php on a browser

6. Select either a Joomla Section, Category or Links Category

7. Select a Wordpress Category to import into

8. Repeat Steps 5-7 till all of your articles have been imported

9. Enjoy and Spread the word!

I found this on someone’s Xanga page. The story behind this is

Does this seem realistic? More importantly I wonder if this will really make us more productive? I think back to the days when we didn’t have cell phones and constant internet access even the task of picking someone up from the airport could take hours. Now you can track flight status on your phone and save time by leaving as late as possible. Also the person you are picking up can give you call when the plane has touched down, which helps you know how much time you need before they will be out of baggage claim. Something as simple as that has helped make life more efficient. Leaving me with more time to watch what I conveniently recorded on my DVR.

I love it, don’t you? Learn more about Mohammed Ali aka Aerosol Arabic.
