My new custom Smilies set

September 23, 2008 / Araz Gholami / 0 Comments

Today I made the decision to design my own set of custom smilies. I have created two of them so far and I am excited to share them with you. In the near future, I will be completing the full set and releasing them here.

Smilies have become an integral part of our online communication, and I believe that having a set of custom smilies can add a personal touch to our online interactions. Whether it’s for a personal or a business use, custom smilies can help us express our emotions, ideas, and personality in a unique and fun way.

I am a graphic designer by profession and I have always been fascinated by the idea of creating something that people can use in their daily lives. This is why I am so excited to be working on my own set of custom smilies. I have put a lot of thought and effort into the design process and I am confident that the final product will be something special.

So, stay tuned for the release of my custom smilies, and I hope that you will enjoy using them as much as I enjoyed creating them.

Fall, School, Again

August 26, 2008 / Araz Gholami / 0 Comments

Starting school again after a summer break can be a bittersweet experience for students. While there’s excitement about seeing friends and teachers, there’s also a sense of dread about returning to a structured routine. For me, this year was no different. Despite not having the relaxing summer I wanted, the schools finally resumed and I was faced with the reality of having to spend half of my day in class and the other half at my own disposal.

However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that out of the seven overcrowded classes I was in, only two had 24 students instead of the usual 35. This was a welcome change, as it made the classes feel less overwhelming and more manageable.

As we navigate this new school year, it’s important to remember that our experiences and emotions are valid, no matter what they are. Whether we’re eager to return to school or feeling a sense of hesitation, it’s important to take things one day at a time and make the best of the situation. So, let’s grab our books and get ready to start this new chapter in our lives!

FireFox 2.0

May 4, 2008 / Araz Gholami / 0 Comments

You may have heard of the browser called Firefox, but did you know it started as a little project back in 2002? It was created to give people more choices and freedom online. And that’s how Firefox Version 2 came to be.

The philosophy behind its existence is simple: The web is a crucial part of our lives and deserves a browser that is fast, secure, and customizable. That’s why every feature and design decision in Firefox Version 2 is made with that goal in mind.

From the start, Firefox was built on the principle of openness. It’s open-source, meaning anyone can contribute to its development, and it supports open web standards, making sure the web works for everyone, regardless of the technology they use.

The security features in Firefox Version 2 are also a big part of its philosophy. It protects you from malicious websites and downloads, blocks pop-up windows, and provides private browsing mode. All to give you peace of mind while you browse the web.

Another important aspect of Firefox Version 2’s philosophy is customization. It has a vast collection of add-ons and themes, letting you personalize your browsing experience. From productivity tools to fun extensions, there’s something for everyone.

In conclusion, Firefox Version 2 is not just a browser, it’s a philosophy. A belief in giving people more choices, freedom, and control online. So, if you’re looking for a browser that aligns with your values, give Firefox Version 2 a try.

Assassin’s Creed, A Breakthrough

April 20, 2008 / Araz Gholami / 0 Comments

Yes, you heard that right. The “Assassin’s Creed” franchise has some philosophical depth.

At its core, the game explores the struggle between two ancient societies, the Assassins and the Templars, each with their own distinct beliefs and principles. The Assassins, who value free will and individuality, believe that peace can only be achieved through allowing people to make their own choices. Meanwhile, the Templars, who value order and control, believe that peace can only be achieved through control and manipulation of the masses.

As players, we see this conflict play out in each game, as the two societies engage in a covert war, with each side attempting to gain control over humanity’s future. This struggle raises interesting questions about the balance between freedom and control, and what it means to be a leader.

But it’s not just the storyline that explores these themes. The gameplay itself is designed to reflect these philosophies. For example, the assassins have a more open-ended approach, allowing players to approach each mission in their own unique way, using their own skills and tactics. Meanwhile, the Templars are more rigid and control-focused, with more structured missions and a greater emphasis on order and efficiency.

So next time you’re playing “Assassin’s Creed”, take a step back and consider the deeper philosophical questions the game is exploring. Who knows, it might just make the experience even more enjoyable.

Sinuhe, the Egyptian is a historical novel that its authors claim was written by the ancient Egyptian scribe Sinuhe. After being discovered by Finnish author Mikael Waltari, it was translated from the ancient Egyptian language to Finnish. This book, which is the author’s most important work, is based on events during the reign of Pharaoh Akhenaten and the beginning of the Pharaoh Horemheb’s rule. It’s a fascinating tale that transports the reader back in time to the era of Pharaohs, gods, and great power struggles. The story of Sinuhe is both rich in historical detail and full of human emotion, making it a truly captivating read. For those who love historical fiction, Sinuhe, the Egyptian is a must-read. Its powerful storytelling and rich characterization are sure to leave a lasting impression on the reader long after the book has been finished.
