American Born Confused Tamils

This is an old one but real good watching it. YouTube and Google Videos are a great medium to share amateur videos. There are some more good ones like these that we’ll come across.

Twidling at the Airport

It’s past midnight and I’m sitting at the Chennai Airport. Guess what?! No, the flight is delayed as usual. It’s the WiFi that’s working. And at surprising speed!

Hyderabad Bound

I’m going to be at Hyderabad tomorrow to give a talk at the 7th STC Annual Conference. I’m flying-in in the morning and flying-out in the evening but will have some time to play catch up.

Criccer!….. Socket!

I came across this fascinating sport that’s a cross between Cricket and Soccer on Swaroop’s blog. They even have an inter-school competition in Bangalore! wow!

The first thing I thought was, ‘Boy, that’s fun. I’d love to play this game’. As luck would have it, I’m planning on a getway trip for my team along with our families next weekend and this sport would fit in real neat!

Yes, we are going to be a criccerers!!

BlogBar

Blogbar is small app which lets you do both web search as well as blog search. I tried the ‘Search all blog search’ and it immediately opened up multiple windows with search results from Technorati, Del.icio.us, Feedster and Google Blog Search.
