Vitamin
Vitamin a great resource for designers, developers and entrepreneurs, including articles, training, interviews from well known designers and developers like Dan Cederholm, Shaun Inman, Eric Meyer, Dave Shea & Molly. Brought to you by Carson Systems.
Today I read a great article titled How C.R.A.P is Your Site Design? that focuses on 4 aspects that designers often forget which are contrast, repetition, alignment & Proximity.
What are you waiting for, go get some Vitamin ;)

Today solar eclipse, don't miss it
Total eclipse photo by Juanjaen from Universidad de Barcelona.
Partial eclipse photo by Koalie from Cannes.
Don't miss it today, as it will not be repeated again till maybe 2017, and as you know avoid looking directly at the sun as it may damage your eyes.
For folks here in Egypt it will begin on 12:38 PM (GMT +2:00) it will be 80% partial in Cairo and total in Saloom , I will post photos as soon as I can.

For God's Sake, Please Stop the Aid!
This is not usually what I write about, but this interview with the Kenyan economics expert James Shikwati sounds a little weird to me I like to share it with you as it maybe one of the weirdest interviews I ever read, James Shikwati says that aid to Africa does more harm than good. despite it is a little bit weird and unexpected it makes great sense to me.
It's like when parents decide to leave there boy experience life and learn from it rather than always telling him what to do and give him every thing he needs, just to teach him to look after his responsibilities by himself rather than always need somebody to carry him, to me this way of teaching a boy how to become a man is a good way maybe this boy hate it but when he start growing up he will see it's benefits and thank his parents for treating him this way.
I think this is the same situation of Africa with western countries, any way as Shikwati pointed on his interview this aid didn't solve the problem till now so why don't they try stopping it maybe Shikwati's plan works.
Well I don't know much about economics but I'm just sharing my thoughts.
