More About Me

I'm passionate about

Photography, open source technology (Linux), Photo-shop, Anime & Manga,Digital-art, Gaming.

An idea worth spreading

youth voice radio,

its an idea of making a radio on the internet "for amateurs",
given the chance for young people to express there "ideas & opinions" to the world,,
the programs are recorded by any means available, even a mobile-phones,
i know some-people have done this before, but never in a global way,,
we "young people" need to get our voice out, but media doesn't except us as who we are,,

me and some friends started this idea on a very small scale, but we have stopped do to leek of contributors and time, "since we only students, and we haven't got much time to do it on a daily pace".
we need more people to talk out, contribute, give us help.

this was the "free" site that we started (in Arabic), we needed no money at all,
the site is originally a blog, and the streaming is free also,,
