Interesting tidbits

  • Warren Buffet invested $5bn in Goldman Sachs. Very interesting. Warren Buffet talks about the deal here.
  • Anil Ambani sues Mukesh Ambani for Rs. 10,000 crores. Wow. Thats probably the largest law suit ever in the history of Indian Penal System. Though, the reports were later denied.
  • F1 gets night vision at Singapore Grand Prix. First ever Grand Prix at night. Although I am not a big F1 fan but I would have loved to see it. :|
  • Kapil Dev joined Indian Army as honorary lieutenant colonel. It implies that if you get some accolades at the international level in cricket, you can become a movie star (if you haven’t become one already), commentator, talent manager and now army man.
  • Had some free time in office and on youtube saw videos of The Crystal Maze, I Dream of Jeannie, Small Wonder, Different Strokes, Duck Tales, Tale Spin. I absolutely love the TV that we had in the good old 90s. Here is a blog post to remind you of the golden era of television.

  • Got two awesome ideas. iCollect and Discovery of India. Please help spread word and share your thoughts. On second thoughts, I think ideas that are powerful enough don’t really need any advertising/marketing around. They just spread like wild fire.
  • Google, HTC and T-Mobile jointly launched G1. The first phone to use much awaited Android. This device will be in a direct competition with “the” iPhone and since Android is an open-source platform, the application development would be much easier and faster. More on this coming soon.
  • Prof. Bakshi released Issue # 2 of his already popular BFBV newsletter. This time he speaks about Richard Feynman. As I write this, I have already ordered a Feynman book.
  • Removed a virus from my blog. While monitoring stats on my blog, I realized that there lots of exits to a mixlong.cn website. Somehow it was appended to the bottom of index.php file and I had to manually remove it.

  • I am finding myself short of ideas to write on. Considering that I am trying to write a book, short of meat to write on is not really a good thing. Guess need to take a break and not write for few days. Can anyone else give me hints on how to resurrect my writing style?

Guess that’s about it for the day. Later today I am off to a road trip to some place. Really looking forward to it. Will share pictures and videos. At a souvenir, I shot this video with my phone on Wednesday night.
