Ethan blogs about his trip to Jordan. Quite fascinating, including Ahmad Humeid’s tantalizing idea that Jordan could be a bridgeblog country. A snippet from Ethan’s post:

…I was busily looking for Jordanian geeks, and ignored the small group that was beginning to form, as they were clearly “the cool kids”, laughing, chain smoking and snapping digital photos. Turns out the geeks are the cool kids in Amman, a city is starting to take technology very seriously.

Ethan also points to Jad Madi’s The War against Terrorism for Geeks. The parts I understood — I speak first-year Unix with a Lisp — were funny. [Note: Ethan corrects me in the comments. Jad didn’t write the post; he pointed to it. Sun Ray wrote it. Then Sun Ray wrote an exegesis (thanks, Tim). Sorry for the sloppy attribution!] [Tags: bridgeblog EthanZuckerman jordan]
