I hade a fun idea in mind to get more users on Calaacal.net and get them engaged. So i made You’re Somali app for Calaacal.net (the Network). The application will allow people to submit their favorite You Know You’re Somali When… Saying. The Sayings will then be ranked by votes. Why this project you might be asking. Well i love common grounds or more generally what connects people. You’re Somali says to Somalis that visit the site ..”hey your somali too”  because “you do pretty much almost everything on this list”. Its a sense... 

With Calaacal.net becoming popular by the day it has become apparent that we need more things on the site to keep users on their longer. The Blog has beeen a project that i have been working on for a long time. Started back in the spring of 2010. The idea is that we can a have global blog for somalis who can then share their expertise and experiences in the platform created. It has now become something of a giant itself and its growing at a exponential rate. Currently have about 5 bloggers. website: Calaacal Blog Images: #gallery-2 { margin: auto; } #gallery-2... 

Frankly with the increased success of the Calaacal app @ calaacal.net. Many people want someone to reply back to their Calaacal. Henceforth Dr. Calaacal. The idea is that you get automatic answers to questions you ask whether it be a Calaacal or a Question. If Dr. Calaacal is receptive to you he will give a good answer. The App is located here:  http://calaacal.net/drcalaacal.php Here are some pics:  Read More →

But heres a jab at it.  Read More →

“The majority of changes to our world started with a complaint and ended with action” Hoyadaa lajanay…You might be wandering what you can get out of a website like Calaacal.net. Calaacal, meaning complaint usually goes on deaf ears and is seen as useless and un-needed. We like to take a different approach than our socio-cultural norm does. Calaacal though a complaint we believe can change the world… to a degree. How would the world change if no one complained about anything. How would superman flying around in a cape hear us or save us from criminals if we don’t...

I have been hearing, saying and using the word calaacal at least once a day. Comments like “Calaacalkaaga nagadaa” or “Kan Calaacalkiisa Badanaa” That got me think how about a place where people can place their Calaacal. I know i would want to do that.

Well being from Minnesota I have never seen an actual Pay Toll but while on our 16 hour trip to Ohio we were stopped about 4 times  to pay in order to go through. Kinda reminded me of a Modern Isbaaro. The road trip was great, we went to many dining areas and participated in many of the local activities at Ohio. Our Hosts were just brilliant and we hope to do the same thing when NASSU comes to Minnesota for its Semi Annual Convention.  Read More →
