So Surabhi and I decided to finally go and spend some time looking at Ranga’s cartoons over the years at the Indian Institute of Cartoonists.
Pretty good collection, I must say. Though, a lot of the politicians were completely alien to me (well, most are, I know, but I digress).
That exhibit’s over now, but there will […]

Arthur C Clarke moves on to a higher plane of existence.
After all, one of the God’s of S and SF would not want to consider merely something as mundane as death the end.

The Appsaholic app on facebook just added a new feature in the last few days … “Promote your Apps”
Looks like there is a limited release of select few (I was included!) to get the app tested with a sample $50 fund to see what kind of advert returns we get.
Cool!

Ever since I figured out that what I did to databases was actually called normalization, some of the excitement went away.
It meant that what I was doing wasn’t some genius idea cooked-up in my brain but actually the right way things should have been done.
However, over the years, I’ve come to realize that normalizing is […]

I’m getting old. Mentally. It sucks.
After trying 15 minutes of simple arithmetic exercises … I’m sitting here holding my head. But this is the good kind of headache. Kind of like how my muscles feel after swimming for 30 minutes.

Everyone’s seen dozens of interviews of and by and for Steve and Bill.
Well, here’s a video that I’ve never seen before. It’s 1983 vintage but the funniest yet.
See the video here

I didn’t know that my business casual, but not-too-casual, look already had a name in some circles. Variously, it’s known as the Obama look or the tieless look.
