Relationships are an extremely complicated thing - there are plenty of times in your life, I’m sure about it, that all you would like to do is leave a message for someone without having to take the trouble of holding a conversation. MobileSphere empathizes with such a feeling and has recently rolled out Slydial, a free service (everyone loves something for nothing) that enables users to leav

That’s it.  That’s all you get. Entertainment Weekly got the scoop but that’s the best look you’re going to get until they start to market the flick heavily.  What do you think?

I made the decision and took down my youtube videos, not going to do anymore of those for now. Also, not going to update this blog (I don't think).....so this is goodbye! I'm still going to be losing, just not doing the blog/videos. Take care!

Today I took a trip to Kent to see my folks. It is their thirty-fifth wedding anniversary on Monday so I took them the gift that I had got for them which was a photo album with pictures from when my brother and I were kids until now. They were thrilled with this, and my mother started wondering where all the other family photo albums had got to. After lunch we went shopping and I was delighted

Well doggers we had some day yesterday when the heritage building RIGHT NEXT DOOR to our condo building was STARTED ON FIRE by some RIFF RAFF and for a while there things were pretty TENSE.

I think it's important for us to recognize that we've got a tradition of handgun ownership and gun ownership generally. And a lot of law

Sudhakar is better known as good comedian. Sudhakar was at one time one of the most popular comedians in the industry. He acted in several films. He began his career as a hero in Tamil films. He later turned into a comedian. But with the advent of comedians like Sunil and Venu Madhav, Sudhakar slowly faded away from the sceneSudhakar said in a recent chit chat that megastar Chiranjeevi is a much changed man. He is not the old Chiranjeevi.Sudhakar knows Chiranjeevi very well since the days the two were struggling to make it into films in Chennai. The two were room mates and hence close friends. Sudhakar says that while Chiranjeevi is a good man at heart, he does not maintain good relationship with his friends. He keeps them at a distance and makes friendship only with over-rich folks. This

Well, as I’ve said before, people are STILL discussing “Monster’s Ball” all these years later. More to the point, people are still *hating* on Halle because she dared to go where she’s never been before (well, on film)….lol.As I perused my morning gossip sites, yes I’m shallow in the A.M. and need *light* reading before tackling *real* news..lol, I spotted a post about “Monster’s Ball” over at sandrarose.com. I guess the general consensus is that Halle didn’t deserve the Oscar for her performance in that particular movie and that she can’t really act her way out of a wet paper bag, etc.Several months ago I was listening to a show on XM Radio prior to the Oscars and the conversation eventually circled back to Halle and her Oscar win.

 The question is.... Will it work? The Story: GOP sees Rev. Wright as pathway to victory (Via Politico.com) Quote: For months, Republican party officials have watched with increasing trepidation as Barack Obama has shattered fundraising records, packed arena after arena with shrieking fans and pulled in significant Republican and independent votes. Now, with the emergence of the notorious video showing the Rev. Jeremiah Wright damning the country, criticizing Israel, faulting U.S. policy for the Sept. 11 attacks and generally lashing out against white America, GOP strategists believe they’ve finally found an antidote to Obamamania.   In their view, the inflammatory sermons by Obama’s pastor offer the party a pathway to victory if Obama emerges as

Subversion ((software)) is used to maintain current and historical versions of files such as source code, web pages, and documentation. When I'm working with a project team at school, we're working with Tortoise SVN (). This SVN application is very useful to share files & folders in a Windows shell. If another team member screws up your source code, you can easily revert to a previous version. It really looks like the Time Machine on Mac OSX (). The only downside to this, is that SVN can be pretty hard setting up. You'll need to have knowledge about SSH () and understand UNIX (). Most people don't have this knowledge and that's where Dropbox kicks in. Simply drag your files to your shared folder on your computer and everyone who you invite will be able to share the files. This way, you ca

I spent the day with Mum on Thursday. It was nice to just relax and chat. We did some cooking, had some laughs, watched a DVD. I don't really get much time with my parents these days. And as a general rule that is how I used to like it. Not that I didn't care for them I just preferred little interaction, because on many occasions I never saw eye-to-eye with my Father.It wasn't until I came out back in 2003'ish that we finally started to understand one another. I guess he finally realised why I was, the way I was and acted the way I did. And I realised that he really did care for my well being deep down.

Ten years ago, if you had asked the general consumer to name a favorite Italian wine, Chianti, Lambrusco, Valpolicella and Soave might chime in, with perhaps a Barolo or some kind of Montepulciano in the mix. Today, the talk not only includes Brunello, Amarone and Super-Tuscans, but Bolgheri, Nero d'Avola and Lugana. This is just the tip of a vinous iceberg that is melting and leaving myriad choices at wine lovers' feet. Aside from our weakened dollar, this more intensive labor quite naturally translates into higher prices. Importers now encourage a better product, and the results are often jaw-dropping. This week's column visits regions all over the map—from the tip of Alto Adige to the offshore southern island of Sicily. Some wines are familiar. Some are absolutely novel to America's

Alana and I went to the Jones Street Boys show at Soundfix in Brooklyn last week. If you've never been there, it's a newly redone cross between a show space and a coffee shop, attached to a great record shop. Normally, it's just about the most relaxed show space around. Apparently not when the Jones Street Boys are there.The music itself was really incredible, and having seen the band a ton of times, including Danny Erker and Jon Hull in their previous band, I've never heard them sound better. Their midwest tour did them well in many ways.I have no idea where the wigs and sombrero came from, but I'm pretty sure it had something to do with the beer.The Jones Street Boys Website

Yep, you heard it here first. The TSA (Travel Scare Authority) is now going to requiring all electronic items to be removed from your bag and put through the X-Ray machine. I was in the Cincinnati airport today and during this ‘pilot program’ I was asked to remove all of my electronic equipment from my bag. That meant anything that could be turned on and off. However this pilot program is not ready for prime time because I had an electric shaver in my roll aboard suitcase and a Bluetooth headset in the pocket of my backpack. I failed to remove those items and yet I was not stopped and required to take those out of my baggage. I got to stand around in line for quite some time because I was behind a family of 5 or 6 that had packed a ton of stuff and I felt rude just going around them, i

Even though oil prices hit $96.24 per barrel and daily expenses on food and groceries rose, the village folks don't seem to be bothered at all. I mean they look so carefree while we are so worried...;D I am baffled because I came from the city. On the other hand, hubby was born and brought up in a small village. I will be worried to death when our car loan, home loan and credit card payments are

Well well well…Looks like the much touted Independent Panel recently set up by the government to verify the authenticity of the Lingam Tape video has decided to postpone their second meeting which was supposed to take place today. Like always, MalaysiaKini has more on this story.Figures!Let’s not make too much noise about it, folks. We know all along that they are both powerless and toothless to do anything.

There were two events that happened recently that kept them at bay: PKR’s R. Sivarasa and Sim Tze Tzim boldly told our ACA to go and fly kites and they are still keeping the identit

You know something, folks!Yesterday our brother in arms, Mr. Lim Kit Siang shared his Hari Raya wishes with the whole nation. Luckily he does not wish for too many things. :-) He only has four wishes. Quote:“A low-crime Malaysia where everyone, whether citizen, tourist or investor can feel safe again in the streets, public places and the privacy of the homes and where the fundamental rights to be free from crime and fear of crime are not just empty and meaningful words.Zero tolerance for corruption, abuses of power and financial scandals.Restore national and international confidence in a truly independent judiciary and a just rule of law, which will go a long way to enhance Malaysia’s international competitiveness which has suffered considerable erosion in recent years; andA Malaysian national consciousness and identity transcending racial, religious or political differences.”Good wishes, Mr. Lim!On the other hand, surely those folks over at Barisan Nasional have some Hari Raya w

Just so you know, I am declaring today ‘Let Others Know about RSS Day.’ It all started out with a friendly conversation with some ‘non-geo’ friends a while back (an electrical engineer, a product designer, and a carpenter). We were discussing the web and talking about some of the sites/blogs that we like. Of the three friends standing around me, two of them (carpenter and designer) gave me the ‘what-hell-are-you-talking-about’ look when I brought up RSS feeds. So a brief discussion ensued, (more…) Share This
