a world without clicks.

imagine a world without clicking. Yes i meant exactly that. Using your computer without having to constantly tap, hit, scratch on a mouse or track pad. Would such a world be even thinkable. (Hint: Computer started functioning way before the mouse was invented)

But i am not here to take you on a nostalgic trip to the 70's.

Dontclick.it takes you where no website has gone before. A site that claims that you don't have to click to live. Check it out. Its fun!

music.

I am really not into movie reviews. Frankly, i can't stand it. Tell me why would you have somebody tell you what a movie is like when u are gonna see it anyway. Then there is the bias that occurs because of a review, and what if the person who reviewed has a completely different viewpoint?

Kinda like you are watching a suspense filled movie and just before the plot is unravelled, somebody tells u how it ends. Well just take a review as this process happening before the movie has begun. ( Phew! had to say that someday).

BTW this post has nothing to do with my bias towards movie reviewers. I just watched the movie Lord of war yesterday and was surprised hear a familiar musical composition in the movie. During one of the scenes you hear the theme music of the film Bombay scored by A.R.Rehman.

Having heard enough of hollywood soundtracks in Indian movies......it does feel different hearing an Indian soundtrack in a hollywood production.

happenings!

Suddenly a lot of things seem to be happening like this coffee cup that knows what you are drinking, the Rockr really rocking? and the CIA still getting dirty.

But somethings never change like recently when Microsoft went offline when they went Live!

How can the company that built presentation software for the millions fail to give a decent presentation? or is it a sign of what can be expected of Microsoft Live? Only time will tell....( or does google already know?)

Here is the top 100 list.

gone.

As i write this post i am feeling good. Well not exactly really good, just that there is no more incessant buzzing of my phone. And that feels good.

How did I do it? Didn't take much effort, I lost my phone....got into a taxi and it must have slipped out of my pocket. And lets just hope the driver doesn't know my number to call me back. The only sad thing about this event was that it was a phone i got just a couple of weeks back.

Well....thats life i guess. Must be THAT phone would have caused bigger problems.

For now.....I am enjoying the feel good factor of not having to attend any calls.

Power of One?

I have always been intrigued by this number.

One.

so little. yet so much more.

There's a movie about it.

Many people have showed us the power of one. One person willing to make a difference, often ridiculed, hated, oppressed but made the difference nevertheless. To paraphrase Apple's classic ad, "the people who think that they are crazy enough to change the world are the ones that do".

This campaign called the One Second Film uses the power of one, and this site for Katrina relief too. Be it in giving nickels, dollars or just being there, the power of one is a force to reckon with. For the true force of the 'power of one' isn't in numbers, it's in the unity of thought....that some say may even move mountains.

Can u change the world around you? You have the Power of One on your side.

iget. ipod....

Apple does it again. And this time they have brought video on the ipod. Just think of the possibilites. Now anybody can become a Star!

The day won't be far when you can catch me on a ipod near u.

blink.dony.blink

Ever had too many bookmarks or kept finding stuff on the net that u found difficult to keep somewhere. Moveover del.icio.us here comes blinklist.

The best part i love abt this site is the cloud feature that give you all your tagged pages at one glance with the ones with the most keywords on a bigger size. Looks really cool. You can see how mine looks here.

many posts.....one message.....joblessness!!

So I am finally getting to be what i was dreading.....tired of blogging. Sure the sun still shines bright and night comes after day, a zillion things are being invented and the no of bloggers are almost doubling every 6-7 months. So there would not be a vaccum in my absence.

Please do not get me wrong, I am not writing a eulogy yet to my blog life.....just that i was mulling over the possibility of a sabbatical.....till I am hit by the blogging bug again.

There has always been a steady stream of support in the form of comments / hate mail /spam, that i receive on account of this blog but your appreciation has kept me going.....especially this person who calls himself/herself "Anonymous" has been regularly commenting on this blog...Thanks dude for all the support.

Meanwhile came across this really cool wap site that some great stuff for download. It even has a cool little tool to browse wap sites.

Just got my bluetooth fixed...so you can understand the WAP fixation.

BTW Del.icio.us is still the coolest social bookmarking site and here's mine.

let the thesis begin!

And finally I start my thesis today.

I do see the thunderstorms approaching....its gonna be a long day today. I wsa thinking of keeping a blog to actually show my thesis progress, but the problem of posting it on this blog will have unforseen consequences....so well that may an idea for another blog...another day.

Wish me all the best!!!

Thesis here I come.
