Feel like a cake?

Go to Google and check it out! on 27th September!

Google celebrated its 7th birthday in September 05. One company that had resolutionized the way we internet. Silently.

Kudos for having turned their brand into a verb. 'Did you try Googling for it?'

I think their biggest success factor was innovation by intelligence. They've always impressed me. And continue to.

Good luck Google!!!

Take everything you love about iPod and shrink it!

Thats how they are marketing it. The newest iPod nano from Apple.

About the size of a credit card, about the thickness of a pencil. Pack about 500 songs. Or 1000. Or more. Priced about $199 to start with. Thats about it.

Not impressed yet? How about color screen, photo viewer, 14 hours of battery life. Cool, ain't it?

I was eyeing the minis, but the wait got things better. Tempted to go for it. Will wait for tech reviews, like any geek!

Google launches Blog Search tool.

Google Inc. launched the quite-awaited blog search tool, a move after their acquisition of Pyra's Blogger.com (or Blogspot.com).

Blogging has quite become more than a personal journal and evolved in the forms of forum, dynamic websites and marketing medium. Recent estimates (I wonder how there's always someone who comes up with "recent estimates") say the number of blogs range from 14m to 50m. And Google's entry into this market, after some of the forefront initiatives like Technorati, though slow and currently indexing only around 8m blog sites, we could expect another leap. Into monopoly.

Thats cool! Whats cooler?

My blog features first when you search for "srinivas".
I'm feeling lucky!!!

Freedom of Speech!!


I was on a stroll to Washington DC a couple of weeks ago.

I was zapped seeing Bush protestors protesting with signs and encouraging the commoners to protest in front of the White House lawns. The blatant contempt and the outcry against war, right under the nostrils of the highest level of surveilance by the U. S. Secret Services monitoring the area with god-knows-how-many cameras!

"Bush is a war criminal"
"Impeach Bush"
"Gearge Bush: Serial Killer"
"Bush Liar"
"Blood for Oil"
"Bush Lied Thousands Died"
... and a lot more in 30-something languages hand-written by the hundreds of tourists who visit the White House every day.


They encourage you to pick up a flyer, take a pic with it front of the White House and promise you will be featured in their website - http://yellowcakewalk.net/.

Long live the 4 o' clock spirit.

It rarely happens that I sleep before 12 midnight.

Rarely do I get get up at 3:45 (not necessarily off the bed) in the morning and don't know how to while away while the morning awakens the rest of the world.

Rarely do I sit up tight and think of getting to my blog after quite a break. And actually update it at 4ish in the morning.

Damn.

Long live this spirit. Any day, I'd rather be an owl than someone who wakes the rooster up.
