I got this 8gb super stick from kingmax, it was reccomended by kevin rose. Its washing machine and dryer safe (really cool). The read and write speeds are slower than my 8gb cruzer contour but thats the trade off for the tiny size. All in all its a really cool usb stick!

Concordia Opensearch Plugin Updated
Well, as some of you might have noticed the Concordia Site has been updated, so I have updated my Opensearch plugin (which you can use with firefox or Internet Explorer 7, However i reccomend Firefox as always) this plugin will make searching the concordia.ca website much easier by just having it in the browser so you dont have to go to concordia.ca to search you can search anytime!

Concordia University OpenSearch Plugin (Created by Me, Ahmed Karam)
Hey everyone, I just got my new laptop and one of the first things i like to do is personalize Firefox (best internet browser) and as you all know i go to Concordia University In Montreal, Quebec. So I created an Open Search plugin for Firefox (ok fine it works on internet explorer 7 as well) which allows you to search the Concordia Site from within Firefox (or ie7) without opening the Concordia site. You can download it here

PS3 Folding@Home
Well if you don’t know what folding@home is, it’s a distributed computing effort (which means it accomplishes more by letting people around the world use their spare cpu cycles) it helps cancer research as well as other diseases. and why is the ps3 so important for this effort? well its about 30 times more powerful than the average pc. so if you have a ps3 download the 1.60 firmware update (which i believe upscales ps2 games) and then in the network menu there will be a folding@home icon, which will download a 51mb installation, and then you are folding! (forgot to mention i’ve got 3 ps3’s folding as much as i can (my friends arent into it so much so i keep turning folding on when they arent using the ps3!))
