I’ve been quite remiss in omitting this blog from my blogroll. Baha’i Faith in Egypt is a very thoughtful and highly informative blog by an expatriate Egyptian Baha’i who writes about the situation of the Baha’is in his homeland.

It is well worth reading.

It’s not often that a piece of software makes me laugh with pleasure and sheer delight at the delicious way in which something really useful has been implemented. But I’ve downloaded (and paid for!) just such a piece of software.

It’s called Delicious Library and, ha ha, it’s for us Mac users only! This is a bit of blurb from the website:

Get your Mac, a webcam, and Delicious Library and rediscover your home library. Just point any FireWire digital video camera, like an Apple iSight?, at the barcode on the back of any book, movie, music, or video game. Delicious Library does the rest. The barcode is scanned and within seconds the item’s cover appears on your digital shelves filled with tons of in-depth information downloaded from one of six different web sources from around the world.

I’ve tried it. It’s fun. It works and it’s delicious (oh, and it’s useful).

I am not in the pay of Delicious Monster!
