/**/ I am amongst those who don’t complain! I miss the hot weather (coupled with being on the beach of course). This is my third summer in Seattle and I love it so far. It’s been absolutely beautiful. Blue skies, warm nights, people are out all the time, Washington lake …
This is indeed very funny (thanks to Lee for forwarding :-) (source xkcd)
… worth blogging about :-) Well done to all involved for being creative and doing something different :-) YouTube video (sorry, no embedding). (via Karen’s Facebook status update).
/**/ RunKeeper is a very cool app for the iPhone. I tried it yesterday and today for my runs and it’s working pretty well. I have to try harder to bring back my level of fitness (if the numbers are correct :-). I also need to check in my next …
This is another offering from my previous team and my good friend Bora (who I think is an upcoming star in Microsoft). SciScope (see it live) is a prototype web application that allows data discovery from across multiple distributed heterogeneous data repositories. It leverages Bing Maps (formerly Microsoft Virtual Earth) …

I submitted few of my photos for the internal-to-Microsoft version of this photograph competition, few months ago. No surprise, mine didn’t have a chance when they can get such gorgeous photographs!
I didn’t know about it until last Friday when Alex Wade told me. Today, Microsoft announced the submission of GPLv2 code into the Linux kernel!!! Unbelievable. As Jim Zemlin characteristically said: “Hell has frozen over, the seas have parted”. :-)) You can read all about it in this NetworkWorld article …
It really bothered me that I couldn’t blog from my MacBook Pro. Well, I did manage to post an entry but the particular blog editor didn’t offer a great experience. So far, Windows Live Writer is the best desktop client for blogging that I’ve used. Since I can’t have it …
I do hope that Microsoft is paying attention. There was public rhetoric a year ago about the appeal of Netbooks. Well, the just-released numbers say the story clearly… Netbooks (or cheap laptops) do have an audience and it seems that the audience is growing. Acer has had a great quarter …
It’s great to finally see this out. My previous team has been responsible for the execution on this. It’s truly a great resource for those who want to get an insight to one of the greatest scientific minds of our era. And, in case you didn’t know, Tony Hey worked …
/**/ I hit the road this weekend. It was fantastic! I needed to be on the road by myself, in order to concentrate on some Web book writing and also to gather my thoughts and feelings. I find that being on the road is very southing to the soul. I …
I am evaluating different blog editors for the Mac. I am posting this from ScribeFire so be warned about what you might see here. Since I am on the road, I can’t test it against my test installation of pblog. Oh… I miss Windows Live Writer. What a great little …
I am looking into the augmented reality space using cell phones as a hobby these days. This is a cool vision video (via Engadget). Read more [...]
/**/ My Web-book co-authors gave an interview to Stefan Tilkov for InfoQ. Fun! How can you not like that happy face of my best friend Jim? :-) (the one on the left) Ahhhh! I miss working with my pal. Every time I stay at his place and we talk geek, …
I have the habit of reporting my idiotic behavior from time-to-time, when I believe that I deserve to be publicly ridiculed. Remember when I put my foot in my mouth or when I missed my flight (and then did it again)? Well, I think this might top those. I blame …
