Fakhredin Blog
The posts in this weblog are mainly about history, heritage, language, art, and culture of Persia (that is named Iran since 1934). Persia is, therefore, equal to Iran, and Persian is equal to Iranian. Note that Persian is a nationality not an ethnicity. Pars (or Fars) is the major ethnicity in Persia but there are also Persian Kurds or Arabs. Similarly, the official language in Persia is Persian (Farsi is the local name and may not be used internationally). For more details please read my posts.

Fakhredin Blog gets a new home!
English blog: en.blog.fakhredin.com
Persian blog: fa.blog.fakhredin.com
In fact the website itself will be just one member of "www.fakhredin.com" web-family! I will introduce the other members of the web-family as soon as they arrive to their home. For now, let me introduce you to Fakhredin Photo Gallery. You can find him at www.photo.fakhredin.com. At the moment, the gallery contains some photo's from Persia (mainly from Esfahan and Shiraz). Shortly, you will be able to visit more places in Persia, and, who knows, hopefully all around the world.

Google Earth 4.2: Google Sky!
You know about Google Earth, don't you? It is an wonderful work from Google by which you can observe satellite images from every corner of the earth. Yesterday a new version of Google Earth is released; version 4.2. Amazing thing about this version is that you can observe not only the "Earth" but also the "Sky!" With this new option you sit behind your computer and look at the hundred millions of stars. I installed the program on my MacBookPro just a few minutes ago, and took this photo of Andromeda Galaxy (Messier 31, NGC 224). I also took a look at the planets, but suddenly the computer hanged! This is very unusual for a Mac computer. Anyhow, happily it works fine now.
