I just learnt this from my uncle …
As a business-owner, you just walk in each day, take a look at current problems and fix them. Thats it.You don’t add value to your company in any other way.You are a problem-solver. Live with it.

I have this thing for timelines. I really get excited when I see data in the form of timelines … maybe it’s because they give me the historical perspective in a clean and quick format.
Google tried it’s hand at timelines (read my previous post)
However, in my search for the perfect timeline tool … this is […]

Surabhi often takes issue with my liberal use of analogies when explaining both business/technology related topics as well as daily usage discussions/thoughts.
Her problem seemed to stem from the really obscure analogies I use in my conversations (and also, why I even bothered to use analogies in the first place!)
Well, here ya go … there are other people […]

What is the true cost of maintaining and stocking a physical inventory? For both new products and spare parts?
For example in the auto industry … individual repair shops always seem to be able to get spare parts on demand from some source and usually in a few hours but in the IT/Computer hardware industry, spare parts […]

I need to read it a couple more time to get my thoughts about it better ordered.
Still, take a peek at this “I feel like this too” article by Vijay Prashad titled “Letter to a Young American Hindu“
Though, why title it and limit it to an American Hindu?
I identify with so much of the article, […]

Call me too nerdy, but when I saw this photo of a keyboard, the thing that stood out for me was the way the [ { ] } keys were shown on the keyboard.
(See Intel Ziba thin laptop on businessweek.com)
And my mind went …
Wait a second … this is not nested correctly.Shouldn’t it be […]

So, I’ve shown my irritation with Adobe Acrobat a few times over the years. A bigger issue … creating the PDF’s costs money (you have to buy the full version of Acrobat). So it’s great as an end-user technology (similar to Flash, etc) but sucks for developers who just want to play with it.
So it […]

Finally, a tool from google that lets you search and view results by date!
Google Timeline
It’s obviously more interesting for historical research going back to decades and centuries, but you could play with it to get views on companies that have been around for a few years too.
As a people research tool, it still has a […]
