Amazon Kindle 2 review – Engadget review
I guess that's what’s on top of everyone's mind – do we need a dedicated reader. Deepak has sold me to the idea that we do – but not at these prices!!! Will keep an eye open for the discoun season on his one:)
The bad and the worse
Don’t know whether to laugh or cry after this video – Scool ke Tem pe<

Scoble’s interesting post on the ‘expertise’ of everyman.
‘Economic Idiocy‘ is an interestingly downbeat post by a generally upbeat personality. It is interesting not just from the current context of the big failure being faced by the US economy. More interesting, in my opinion, was his questioning the intellect of the collective – of the masses. He has managed to pinpoint the exact issue with a decentralised system, it just takes a small critical mass to cause a wave and not all waves are necessarily well thought out or even healthy in the long run. At the same time the other end of the spectrum is to live in a gilded cage of a centralised system. I have often thought about these things. However the way Scoble put it out there and the fact that ‘he’ did (I did not expect such a cynical view from blogosphere’s and disrptive media’s biggest fanboy) – made me link him here for the 2-3 people who visit me.
P.S: Normally you would find my favourite Scoble’s posts in my shared links. You can also find the latest posts there in my sidebar.
An a-ha moment in ancient history…
… ancient in computing terms i.e:)
I was reading about the diskette that blew Trickster’s mind and really enjoyed the blog. I have forgotten much of what U have learned in school but I was still excited ( and a mite sad that I do not understand it in detail:)) a good read if you think like me.
Another beauty from his blog about warez.
Don’t take a piece of my pie:)
Loved this comic from sinfest – very topical.
Visite SinFest for more! Especially the saga of Samakin Skywalker
Back to a Bloggish[sic] white
I loved the DePo Masthead theme but only having 3 posts on my site was just not working for me – too much extra work for me to ensure that all my new posts had links on the front page.
So while I am still experimenting with that theme, I am doing it somewhere else and in the meantime I am changing the theme again for this site. This theme is called The Journalist. Of course both these themes are available in the design section of WordPress.com. I could probably play with css files to change the last theme to my needs but that is a paid upgrade and I am happy keeping my blogging endeavours free:)
I know that feeling
Sometimes I wonder if this is the story of our lives. Of course at other times I look into the mirror and see a PHB:(
And this one too:)
The view from my Balcony
First of all apologies for the crappy pics but I had my phone at hand and decided that better to take the pics than wait for another day.
I love my new home. My missus and I especially like out balcony. It faces away from the complex and towards a society of bungalows. As a result it is a wonderful place to laze around in our beanbags sipping tea, readying or working (well she does a lot of work there whenever the weather is fine)
Just some pics from my balcony:
1. Facing left:
Facing left - near
Facing lft - farther
2. Facing centre:
Facing centre
3. Facing right:
Facing right - nearer
Facing right - farther
The balcony faces NE and the pics were taken after noon – hence the shadows.
Cheers.

Really like this tongue in cheek uploaded by Amitabh on his site I love reading his site as I really like the way he puts forhe his ideas, feelings and defences. However this pic, which I am sure he has made changes in that he has added the caption. was just too good:)
He seems to be having repeated issues with his blog sever though – maybe we need to tell him to move to wordpress:)
