Bike to Work like Chinese

by Kamran Abdi
First, It was our product “Made in China”, now, our work commute to be like in China. Bike to Work Day, organized by WABA (Washington Area Bicyclist Association) and  Commuter Connections plan to encourage the Washingtonians to bike to work

Although I started this post with a negative tone, but I think this is an excellent initiative by WABA and Commuter Connections. Certainly, makes us more fit and healthy. The concept is simple. Unless you work from home  or take Fridays off , you will need to commute to work on the morning of Friday, May 21st.

Google Android Powered 3G on Verizon’s Horizon

Apple's tablet vs Google's tablet 🙂

This is what I love about America the most! Competition! Competition! and more Competition which explains why we are more of  a service oriented nation as supposed to sales oriented like all other countries I have been living and working including UK, Spain, and even Germany.

It’s not even three months from the launch of Apple’s iPad, Google is already working on the development of an Android-powered tablet in collaboration with Verizon Wireless to compete with Apple’s. I read about it in the Wall Street Journal this morning. Adding a big new twist to the tablet computing wars.

Jobs Projected To Grow And The Housing Crisis To Stabilize In DC

by Elias Shams
Thanks again to the collapse of the financial market, our government money printing machine, and companies moving their headquarters to DC, jobs in Washington, D.C. are growing quickly. In 2008, the city produced more in goods and services than almost anywhere in the country.

According to research by Forbes, D.C. and nine other cities (among them: Boston, Los Angeles and a host of metros in Texas) are best surviving the downturn in part because they specialize in industries that are relatively insulated from economic volatility. Federal and state jobs all but guarantee the health of a local economy, and nowhere is there more government-related work than in Washington. The city has one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country, at 6.2%, and its output amounts to $362.3 billion, more than three times the average for the country’s largest cities.
