By having hours of fun with LEGO - now in digital ishtyle - grab it here.

Am now using Google Reader for all my feeds. Looks like I am spending way too much time on reading feeds during the day n week (as indicated by the trends charts on the page). Any ideas on how to manage n read around 230 feeds?



Google Reader has a nice option of sharing articles - you can find mine here. The other thing I like about the feed reader is that it has lots of keyboard shortcuts - can view most of them by using '?' shortcut for help.

Wish games could make me laugh like this :)
Found it from Digg.

Now this seems to be an actual "data wiki" kind of site - Many Eyes. It's an experimental site for social data analysis and collaborative visualization. Though the visualizations are in Java, they offer pretty good set of visualizations - much better than the Swivel site I had blogged about earlier.

A Doom III quality (actually much better than that) in 96k of executable code. See screen shots and download the game here. Wow! These guys are something.

Make your own comic strips on the web - Stripgenerator.com

This Web too dot oh thing is catching up like crazy. Another day, another site. This time it's Swivel - a site to share and explore data through graphs. Had thought about something like this few days back to have a "data wiki" - where people can upload data and share them using charts and other visualization techniques. Swivel comes quite close.

SlideShare.net - a place to share and discover slideshows. Kinda like youtube for slides - site for uploading slides, sharing them and embedding them in blogs. Flash is really changing the web.

Editgrid - An online spreadsheet service with real-time-update and extensive collaboration features. Seems to be much better than Google Spreadsheets and has charting feature as well.

The desi ad for the XBox360 - here.

And the corresponding site - here.

For those who use the command prompt a lot on Windows...here are a bunch of shortcuts for you -

• start . - will start up an explorer window with the current working directory.


• start cmd . - will start up another command prompt with the current working directory.

Downloaded and installed the new iTunes yesterday, and, boy, is the new coverflow thing addictive or what. And it also easily finds cover art albums for your music. Nice!

I hope they include some sort of search by color for the album art in the next version - something like this.

The button on my page earlier pointed to a service called MultiRSS (http://www.multirss.com/) where one can decide which RSS reader to be used. It's impossible to add a RSS subscribe button for each of the newsreaders ... and MultiRSS fit the bill quite perfectly.

But, it seems the service has now gone down recently ... and so started my search for other similar services. It seems there are quite a few similar offerings -

• SoloSub


• quickSub


• SingleSub


• AddToAny

I am using the AddToAny service now. It's quite good and also lets you narrow down the list into feed readers and social bookmark managers to help you quickly locate your favorite newsreader from the big list.

Link for one to subscribe to the feed of this site.

If one is still wondering what RSS and syndication is all about, maybe this page will help.

Been a long time since I updated the blog...and received a nudge from one of my friends today. Thats the reason for this post ;)

Anyways...heres a nice link for someone who is looking to buy a digital camera sometime in the near future.

I already have a Canon Digital Rebel XT - highly recommended from me for some serious photography. Canon also has a nice set of tutorials to get started with the camera.

I think I have this in my genes.

Earlier it was Flash animations, games...then audio, video and now documents.
