Thought this Abu Mahjoob caricature was pretty uplifting for the (political) season! So Eid Mubarak to you all and I hope you have a great holiday. Stay safe, do something fun, enjoy your family time, and go some place warm!

This is an unusual “me” post, which, in the lifespan of this little blog, there have been few of (fortunately). But I thought I owed it to my readers (all 10 of you) to have some sort of where-have-I-been explanation. Besides, I feel like rambling. To start with, yes, as you can see from the […]

Yes, it took a while. But after many sleepless nights the new 7iber is finally up. There’s still a lot to do, but we’ve moved in without rattling the neighbors.

Blog Action Day 2009 is fast approaching and I wanted to send out a message to all Jordanian bloggers, encouraging you to register (it’s quick) and blog about it. This year’s topic is climate change and I don’t have to emphasize how essential this issue is to us and the rest of the world. We […]

Last month, 7iber launched an initiative to collect citizen-generated photographs that capture Jordan from behind their lens. Throughout June we received an endless amount of pictures with the objective of picking the best 10 and printing them as postcards to be sold in the marketplace, with any profits going towards future community projects.
