I just played around with MapLib.Net a cool new mashup that uses Google Maps for some really innovative work.
It allows you to upload any photo to the service and use that photo as the “map” or background for a new Google Map. So you can zoom in/out, add markers (those red balloons) and even add notes. […]

The problem with monetization of stories, tv shows and movies is that they don’t follow the long-tail model. Once the advertisers dry up, the shows are stopped. The movies don’t have sequels and the books/series don’t have a 2nd or 3rd part.

I’ve often wondered on how to best train people. Sometimes, even how to best train myself. In a previous post, titled “My coding skills have started to suck” I discussed how my programming skills are deteriorating. I also discussed how not having peers to work with (in school labs or more experienced people sitting in […]

If you live or work in Manhattan and haven’t yet tried the excellent grilled corn at Cafe Habana, you should! It’s delicious, hot off the flame griller and rolled in some amazing homemade crumbly cheese.

Often, I am chatting with […]

I recently spoke to my friends about Ted Murphy and have to conclude that Ted (you know, the guy who started PayPerPost for ads on blogs) is working under Paul Allen.
Microsoft does not want to directly fund these guys, but Paul Allen, being founder, old chum of Gates, et al; can work the magic with […]

Because that is truly how awesome this movie is. It’s not a question of “have you” but “how many times have you”.
Lage Raho Munnabhai is funny. It’s serious.It’s a comedy. It’s what comedies used to be.
It’s the kind of movie that makes me feel that there are some more intelligent movie makers out there and […]

 
So a friend of mine (your typical, American white male … the kind who are caught for “random” checking at airports to make others feel that the randomness is really random) was at a bar on Saturday night and coming back to office on Monday made this comment …
This is ridiculous … we’ve now gone […]
