<p><img class="mini-icon" src="http://www.basimmousilli.com/files/blog/2010/06/iphone.gif" alt="" width="52" height="11" />Have you seen me? Criminal investigations have ensued this week surrounding the whereabouts of Mr. and Mrs. Mousilli pictured here. Suspects say the predators are armed and<span id="more-2097"></span> dangerous looking for iPhone 4s on the market after Apple had recently sold out.</p>
<p>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t even know the man,&#8221; one suspect reports. &#8220;I was out shopping and the next thing I know is he went to the Post Office and forwarded all of my incoming mail to his address.&#8221;</p>
<p>Local police authorities are cautioning citizens not to flaunt their iPhones in the faces of this Mousilli double when the phone ships next month; this could incite the criminal masterminds into terminal kungfubia frenzy. One of the survivors reports that Basim is currently holding a black unlocked iPhone 3GS flagrantly displaying the words &#8220;$uckafree 4 life&#8221; on his lockscreen.</p>
<p>Apple has come forward and is suggesting consumers keep their new iPhones in older generation cases once they start shipping July 2 to avoid theft, kickassery, and other random acts of jealousy and delusion. Seclusion also rhymes. </p>
<p>Crime accessory Noura Mousilli was not present at the time of questioning. More news as the facts unfold.</p>

Browse<span id="more-1245"></span> <a href="http://www.basimmousilli.com/photos/portfolio">my design portfolio</a> to see examples of my work.</p>
<p>If you need a new website or if it&#8217;s time to redesign your existing one, I&#8217;m always ready to help give some advice.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.basimmousilli.com/contact">Reach out to me</a> for a free consultation. I&#8217;m ready for hire.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a breakdown of my creative design services&#8230;</p>
<div class="big">Website design (and redesign)</div>
<p>This includes re-designing your website, creating new websites that are…</p>
<ul class="checklist">
<li>Easy to use and user-updatable, or for complex article management</li>
<li>Video-based with a narrator walking around and talking like on TV</li>
<li>Flash-animated or database-driven sites with custom requirements</li>
<li>App-driven with calendars, news, blogs, contact forms, shopping carts</li>
<li>The list goes on and on…if you’ve seen it done, I can do it</li>
</ul>
<div class="big">Print media design (anything printed)</div>
<p>This includes pretty much anything that can be printed&#8230;</p>
<ul class="checklist">
<li>Magazine ads, newspaper prints, billboards, event banners</li>
<li>T-shirts, CD covers, jars, hats, mouse pads, vehicle graphics</li>
<li>Business cards, brochures, flyers, door hangers, you name it!</li>
</ul>
<div class="big">Logo design (and logo recreation)</div>
<p>OK, here’s what we can do as far as your logo…</p>
<ul class="checklist">
<li>Create a new custom logo or revamp your existing logo</li>
<li>Make your logo 3D, animated, with voiceovers and sound effects</li>
<li>Re-draw your logo if it’s not fit for print (or if you lost the original)</li>
</ul>
<div class="big">Multimedia design (3D/animation)</div>
<p>Multimedia means any design that moves…</p>
<ul class="checklist">
<li>Video production, TV ads, radio ads, voiceovers, sound effects</li>
<li>Flash animations for whatever occasion – to grab attention</li>
<li>3D product renderings, layout maps, interactive diagrams</li>
</ul>
<div class="big">Photography services (photo studio)</div>
<p>Nothing makes a design look better than great photos…</p>
<ul class="checklist">
<li>Product galleries (for the things you want to advertise)</li>
<li>People photos (for the team profiles section of your design)</li>
<li>Location photos (of your building, office, studio, or equipment)</li>
<li>Event photos (to post in your blog…for PR exposure reasons)</li>
</ul>
<div class="big">Marketing your design (spreading the word!)</div>
<p>We have both online/offline marketing campaign approaches that include…</p>
<ul class="checklist">
<li>Viral Youtube videos, Facebook groups, Myspace pages</li>
<li>Interactive ads, annoying pop up ads, website banners</li>
<li>Search engine optimization, newsletter management, etc.</li>
</ul>

Sad really. Furthermore, when we want to show clever YouTube videos to our co-workers at the pub often times the sound is barely audible&#8230; and those landscape mode games&#8230; we always block the speaker with our hands.</p>
<p>Luckily the <a href="http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/cellphone/b8e5" target="_blank">iPhone SoundClip Audio Booster</a> directs sound from the built-in speaker on the iPhone toward you to increase the clarity and volume for movies and music. It also makes games easier to play without blocking your iPhone&#8217;s speaker. A tuned conical deflection chamber designed to make the audio from your iPhone clearer and also slightly louder. Sound waves are reflected toward you, instead of away, so you feel more involved in your game, movie, or music. SoundClip amplifies iPhone audio by 10dB between 6kH and 20kHz, resulting in a cleaner, more accurate response.</p>

The once richest man in the world, Sultan Hajji Hassanal Bolkiah, was joined by Shell CEO Peter Voser to celebrate BSP&#8217;s 80th anniversary in operation.</p>
<p>And they were parading right down the area where I&#8217;m working! That says a lot. BSP is at the center of the universe with regards to applied oil and gas information technology. After all, BSP received the Shell technology partner of the year award and it has proved to be a successful grounds for digital oilfield world 1sts due to the Sultan&#8217;s funding, technology uptake, and because of people&#8217;s willingness to take innovative risks to drive business improvement.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.basimmousilli.com/files/blog/2009/10/Flag-of-Brunei.jpg" rel="lightbox[792]" title="Flag of Brunei"><img title="Flag of Brunei" src="http://www.basimmousilli.com/files/blog/2009/10/Flag-of-Brunei-177x118.jpg" alt="Flag of Brunei" width="177" height="118" align="right" /></a>Followed by a couple of keynote speeches televised by Radio Television Brunei, the sultan graced the halls as his hands landed on the lips of thousands of employees greeting him with utmost humility. I shook the hand of royalty and that was a nice moment for me. The sultan&#8217;s physique reflects peak fitness for a man in his sixties. It was striking in beauty to see a successful empire built on the principles of Islam, led by Muslims from the very top to the working class. I&#8217;m really glad to be a part of such a movement.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.basimmousilli.com/files/blog/2009/09/HTC-Hero-Phone8.jpg" rel="lightbox[717]" title="HTC Hero Phone"><img title="HTC Hero Phone" src="http://www.basimmousilli.com/files/blog/2009/09/HTC-Hero-Phone8-150x150.jpg" alt="HTC Hero Phone" width="150" height="150" align="left" /></a><img class="mini-icon" src="http://www.basimmousilli.com/files/blog/2009/07/youtube.gif" alt="" width="52" height="11" />You absolutely need to check out this hot new <a href="http://www.android.com/about/" target="_blank">Google Android</a> based smartphone: the <a href="http://www.htc.com/sea/product/hero/overview.html" target="_blank">HTC Hero</a>. It redefines how social data is pushed to you. I’m a die-hard Blackberry user on my 4th BlackBerry now. In hot pursuit of something with more “me”, “fun”, and<span id="more-717"></span> multimedia factor, I’ve been looking elsewhere, not too happy with the new line of touch Blackberries with the same old solid but boring interface.</p>
<p>I have been recently peeping around the market for a solid phone that supports social network services in an integrated way (Facebook, Flickr, Twitter); this all in a phone that does the usual organizer management without toying around. I’m sick of <a href="http://www.zdnet.com.au/news/software/soa/Windows-Mobile-still-faces-issues-Microsoft/0,130061733,139257430,00.htm?omnRef=http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;q=windows%20mobile%20issues" target="_blank">Windows Mobile and its issues</a> primarily because it’s interface is function-based and overly complicated. (I’m not doing File, Open, URL… to play music). On the other end, I am not too excited about Nokia’s interface, case-in-point the <a href="http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_n97-2615.php" target="_blank">Nokia N97</a> and my wife’s <a href="http://europe.nokia.com/find-products/devices/nokia-5800-xpressmusic" target="_blank">XpressMusic 5800</a>&#8230;</p>
<p>Enter HTC Hero. From the <a href="http://www.htc.com/sea/product/hero/overview.html" target="_blank">HTC Hero website</a>, I quote… “HTC Hero is our first phone to embody HTC Sense™ &#8211; an intuitive, seamless experience built upon three fundamental principles &#8211; make it mine, stay close, and discover the unexpected.</p>
<p><div class="youtube-start"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="200" height="150" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/8LtKAnJf1Ss"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/8LtKAnJf1Ss" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="wmode" value="opaque" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="opaque" width="200" height="150" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/8LtKAnJf1Ss" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></div><p><img class="mini-icon" src="http://www.basimmousilli.com/files/blog/2009/07/youtube.gif" alt="" width="52" height="11" /><strong>Make it Mine:</strong> With HTC Hero, personalization reaches a level never before possible. Rather than burying important content under layers of menus, the HTC Hero lets you put it at glance view, with a selection of widgets that can be placed right on the home screen. The widgets themselves can be personalized with a variety of designs and sizes that best match your personality.</p>
<p>With Scenes, a new profile feature, HTC Hero becomes multiple phones in one. Create and switch between Scenes that reflect different moments in your life. Your Hero becomes a weekend phone that helps you relax with your choice of tunes, catch up with your favorite friends and capture some memories with HTC Footprints™. And when you go on a trip, your phone becomes your personal guide and gives you instant access to local time, weather and maps.</p>
<p><div class="youtube-start"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="200" height="150" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/RjAhd0_1auI"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/RjAhd0_1auI" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="wmode" value="opaque" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="opaque" width="200" height="150" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/RjAhd0_1auI" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></div><p><img class="mini-icon" src="http://www.basimmousilli.com/files/blog/2009/07/youtube.gif" alt="" width="52" height="11" /><strong>Stay Close:</strong> Today, staying in touch with the people in your life means managing a variety of communication channels and applications ranging from phone calls and emails to Facebook updates.</p>
<p>HTC Hero makes staying close as simple as turning to your friend and saying hello. When you view people, you see the different ways to get in touch, you also see all your interactions like emails sent to your personal and work accounts. You can even check for social network updates and event notices as well as see the latest pictures your friends uploaded to popular photo sharing sites.</p>
<p><div class="youtube-start"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="200" height="150" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/SwLp0s_e_yE"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/SwLp0s_e_yE" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="wmode" value="opaque" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="opaque" width="200" height="150" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/SwLp0s_e_yE" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></div><p><img class="mini-icon" src="http://www.basimmousilli.com/files/blog/2009/07/youtube.gif" alt="" width="52" height="11" /><strong>Discover the Unexpected:</strong> Many of the most memorable moments in your life are experienced, not explained. Even basic functions like the dialer will pleasantly surprise you on the HTC Hero. You can find a person by dialing their phone number or simply by dialing the first few letters of their name. With HTC Hero, you can look at things through different perspectives. Your inbox is not just a list of emails, but a catalog of conversations, a collection of notes flagged as important, and a document library of all your emails with attachments. Your Album is the gateway to online collections of you and your friends on Facebook or Flickr.</p>
<p>Search just about anything, anywhere on your HTC Hero. The dedicated Search button combs through tweets in Twitter™, locates people in your contact list, finds emails in your inbox, searches through appointments in the calendar and very nearly finds needles in haystacks.”Yes</p>

I am a naturalist. I enjoy staying fit. I enjoy traveling and seeing the world. I really enjoy my career and I love technology. I love<span id="more-99"></span> my family.</p>
<p>I like the direction my life is going, for the most part. I am in charge of my life. I owe it to God for my success. I am full of ambitions. I am lavishly blessed. I am a bashful individual. I am proud of what I have. I am confident that only with the help of God will I prevail. I am devoted to helping my community rise.</p>
<p>I possess a high tolerance for pain. I watch more than I talk. I am introspective. I am in touch with my feelings. I am a good listener. I sometimes have a hard time understanding people. I enjoy learning. I enjoy applying what I learn more. I admire smart people. I like to read biographies of successful people. I love my mom &#8211; she is the perfect woman. I love my brother and he is my role model.</p>
<p>I am full of contradictions. I strive to thoroughly understand myself and the world around me. I am a pragmatist and a dreamer. I am an artist and an engineer. I am passionate and I am passive. I am talkative and I am quiet. I am simple and I am complex. I end up enjoying advanced things yet I always admire people who live a simple life. I believe I can live with few things.</p>
<p>I am wasteful. I am self-serving. I consider myself generous. I have a hard time making decisions. I like to take my time. I like to listen to my voice mails before sending them. I like to perfect my sales pitch. I like to learn and share knowledge. I sometimes have a hard time working in a team. I work better as an individual sometimes.</p>
<p>I love my hobbies. I have great friends. I am a proud Muslim. I am a proud Syrian. I love my culture and my country. I am also an American. I want to make a deep impact on Earth. I believe in the power of one. I believe it takes one person to make a difference in this world. I pray that God helps me and protects my family. I pray for forgiveness and guidance. <em>Allahu akbar.</em></p>
