My Linksys BEFW11S4 Wireless-B Cable/DSL Router is installed and working. Working on my laptop instead of Amber’s extremely slow ancient PC is a lot more fun. After all, my laptop is more than 6 times faster and has 4 times the RAM compared to Amber’s machine. These are the only two machines connected to our… Continue reading Wireless Network

Women, Gays, Sex, Islam
Muslims should not just look at the halal and haram aspect of homosexuality but also try to be compassionate towards gay Muslims. The issue of women’s spaces in mosques is also an important one.
Mau Mau and Kenya
This is another book recommended to me by Conrad Barwa. Mau Mau and Kenya: An Analysis of a Peasant Revolt by Wunyabari O. Maloba is a good book, though it is written somewhat in an academic language and hence can be dry at times. I guess that couldn’t be avoided since the book is based… Continue reading Mau Mau and Kenya

Pregnancy Pics
I guess it’s time for some pictures since it’s the 27th week. The pregnancy is finally showing, though it can be somewhat hidden in Amber’s Pakistani kameez shalwar.
Kill Bill, Troy, Lenin and More
Kill Bill Vol 2 isn’t really a separate movie from Kill Bill: Vol 1. It has a somewhat different feeling to it though. It is slower than the first one which was just non-stop action. This does result in some character development. It also is influenced by westerns. A good movie overall. Not great like… Continue reading Kill Bill, Troy, Lenin and More
Africa: A Biography
One of the major faults of Africa : A Biography of the Continent is a lack of maps. I like to look at a map of the region whne reading about it and I missed that sorely while reading John Reader’s book. The book covers only subsaharan Africa, but that is not a problem in… Continue reading Africa: A Biography
Week 21: Level 2 Diagnostic Ultrasound
The child finally looks human I was scheduled for a level 2 diagnostic ultrasound during the 21st week.

We reached… Continue reading Week 21: Level 2 Diagnostic Ultrasound
