When Scoble gave that now famous interview about managing his 622 feeds a day, he mentioned that one of the few disadvantages of Google Reader was the lack of an offline reading facility.
It now appears that biggies like Google actually listen to comments of A-list bloggers like him. Although I doubt they might have […]

I’m furiously hunting for Wordpress themes these days. You see, I tire quickly - kinda explains why I’ve been shifting from one blog service to another. So a theme change seems like the next thing to do.
I love the current K2 theme. Gives good freedom of customization and all. But as I said, I want […]

(This post comes with a reader warning in that it is really long and rambling. So beware! Other than that, on the title, see Indian Summer for the exact definition, although its context here is tweaked to suit a decent heading)

This post was long time coming. It is the obligatory post for a blogger who […]

I was planning on writing about TV shows that stood out for me this year. I also thought of writing a season review of Heroes, but I felt I could hold back on it till the finale of the show in India, which I believe is end of June, so that it would be right […]

Jimmy Wales that guy who founded a certain Wikipedia comes on the Colbert Report and makes for interesting conversation. He talks about vandalism (more specifically the issue of Colbert and the Elephant article) among other things.

Now after systematically dismantling the hold of Internet Explorer over the user’s internet browsing experience, comes another threat - this time to proprietary media players. Songbird might not only hurt Microsoft here, but also other biggies who are much more prominent in the post-ipod world.

For the geeks (if they haven’t already heard of it, that […]

There has been a lot of furore over the painting of arts student Chandramohan. We know how our government protects every micro-community in India that takes offence to anything ranging from art work to some one even thinking offensive thoughts.

Just yesterday when I saw this article on Cricinfo, it got me really interested in the whole thing about Subhash Chandra’s plans of emulating Kerry Packer.
Brian Lara, Shane Warne, Glenn McGrath and “more big names to follow” are being linked to a breakaway Twenty20 competition taking place in India this October, according to the latest […]

Keen observers might have noted some reticence here as far as blogging activity is concerned. Not to worry. I haven’t really stopped blogging. Just that quite a few things have happened in my online world that this blog has become relatively idle.
