In the news

Also, courtesy of Boing Boing, the story of a three year old boy who never sleeps!

And from the New York Times, an excellent article on youth in Egypt, particularly on the turn toward religion in the face of disillusionment and despair over economic hardship.

“It brings us closer to God, in a sense,” Mr. Faragallah said, speaking of the despair he felt during the years he searched for work. “But sometimes, I can see how it does not make you closer to God, but pushes you toward terrorism. Practically, it killed my ambition. I can’t think of a future.”
