Alaas… Gautam Menon seems to have taken the shortcut like AG Murugadoss. His latest film ‘Pachai Kili Muthucharam‘ seems to be an(other) adapation of the book “Derailed”. Hollywood has already made this movie with Clive Owen, Jennifer Aniston ‘Derailed (2005)’ and burnt its finger (meaning it was a massive flop).
My initial thought was “What a […]

Wired invited readers to submit 6 word short stories (Sci-Fi). Fascinating exercise! (I once did a 5 sec short car commercial :)
My Fav Shorts from the contest (Link):
“Computer, did we bring batteries? Computer?”
“Easy. Just touch the match to”
“Help! Trapped in a text adventure!”
“He read his obituary with confusion.”
“Steve ignores editor’s word limit and”
“Longed for him. Got […]

If you are in Hyderabad, this is one event you can’t afford to miss. A long list of celebrity speakers are attending (including my fav Professor at IIT). I’d love to be a fly in the wall of this interesting conference. I hope they have a live/offline web telecast.
Organized by UsabilityMatters.Org, this is a 9 day exhibition starting […]

Ever since I briefly met Gautam Menon in a Seattle airshow, I have been eagerly waiting for this film. I am a great fan of his earlier films (actually 2, but remade/recycled in various languages umpteen times) - particularly the cool suave Kakka Kakka (KK). So comparisons are inevitable. And with KK as a benchmark […]

Any techie will encounter these suituations frequently…

While shopping at Circuit City or Barnes & Nobles, I see an item I like to buy, like a book or a fancy USB drive, I have this momentary pause at the shelf or the checkout lane - “I am sure I can find it much cheaper online or […]

Just like old serial killers who used to keep a journal for recording their macabre thoughts, a Japanese teen has been using her blog to keep track of the progress (or lack thereof) of her poisoned victims. First she started with small animals before moving on to her mother!
Following her idol, the british serial […]

Some frequent business travellers complain that they almost live in a hotel or an airplane. But Francie Rehwald, owner of a successful Mercerdes-Benz dealership in CA, will have the rare distinction of making that boast - not figuratively, but literally. She is building a house made entirely out of a scrap 747-200 jet!
After buying an old TowerAir jet ($100K), the builders began […]

Tony Scott’s highly stylized MTV edited Domino is like reading a whole page of text while its blinking and changing colors. The camera is always moving, and the whole movies looks like someone behind the camera was playing with all video effects (polarize, solarize, flip, slowmo, fastmo, flash cut, flash forward cut, B&W, mirror…and the […]

Times of India reports that a group called ’World Federation of Tamil Youth’ have nomiated Jaya for Noble prize! - that shows both the rotting journalistic standard of TOI and also marks the return of JJ workshipping. I dont know who these clowns are - but they sure appear to be a hardcore JJ fangroup - as results show 90% of their […]

I have used Remit2India (Times of India Group) a few times to send money to India. Today I got an offer mail and I just cannot believe their audacity to advertize this offer!
Dear Ram,
We appreciate the trust you have placed in Remit2India and we believe that your patronage should not only be recognized, but […]

Disney buys Pixar for $7.4billion!
Eh, not bad for Steve Jobs, who bought Pixar for a mere $10million from Lucas. No good animation movies has come out of Disney for the most part of the last decade… and it kinda survived by piggybacking on Pixar’s success, distributing a string of mega blockbusters (Toy Story, Bugs […]

Its one of those things - you keep flipping the channels and you catch 10secs of something and continue watching it for hours. That’s what happened to me over the weekend. I just fell in love with this HBO show Curb Your Enthusiasm. It was spontaneous - it was funny, it was just so freaking […]

Out of the Blue

The angels from the sky returned today.

Pushing the envelop further to distance itself from nearest rivals Yahoo Maps, Mapquest and MSN Mappoint - Google boldly goes skyward to Moon!
Zoom further and you will see what the US government has been hiding from us all along! Yes, the very fact that moon is made of cheese!

The most amazing piece of free software you will ever get. After buying Keyhole, Google has released the product after a long hibernation.
Just like God you can tilt, rotate and zoom into almost any point on US - except maybe destroy and create
Things to do:

This Information Highway is getting an facelift, so excuse the messy CSS. The upgrade will take a couple of days, you will know when I am done .
Those who are wondering what the hell am I blabbering about. In plain English - “I am upgrading the Blog Software - and I screwed up, so […]
