Preface
Technology is the master of the world now, and since my childhood I have been always fascinated by Technology , whether what I enjoyed then in Sci-Fi comics and books or what kept coming in real life in years to come, till we reached cloning and even further more... you know it’s never ending… it keeps coming minute by minute.
In my life I found that through ARTS, you'll be able to know, understand, appreciate and ENJOY the great knowledge of this strange creature called MAN, on this beautiful blue planet called EARTH.
First I was not keen to have a Web Site (though I love Technology as I mentioned before) maybe because I tend to solitude and prefer the low profile side.....BUT, many of my friends started to blame me for that...they suggested Facebook,Twitter...etc. but I preferred a WEB-SITE for many reasons.
It was not an easy task at all to gather all the materials. I found out that I had lost many documents, photos, music, recordings and clippings over time.
With what I managed to find, I hope it will give you an idea about me.
Thanks to all my friends who convinced me to save what was left of me, and to those who manage to make it possible.
Was it worth it?? That's for you to judge now.
