From Gizmodo:

they have created a beautiful user interface in which the data is at the center of user interaction. Not the apps—specific functions—but the information itself.

While the interest is buzz with the bads and goods of Phone 7, me… I just can’t wait.

My little gift to everyone for the festive season.
This is based on one of my favorite quote by Bill Watterson, creator of Calvin and Hobbes

Oh look, yet another Christmas TV special! How touching to have the meaning of Christmas brought to us by cola, fast food, and beer conglomerates. Who’d have ever guessed that product consumption, popular entertainment, and spirituality would mix so harmoniously?

Recently lost all my blabbering blog data of two years, when I move to new hosting. Trying to kick start Haobam.com and get back some of the popular post and download online. Please watch this space for update.

For any info please email haobam.martin@gmail.com.

With all these new features, I guess it’ll be much harder for people to learn Photoshop. For upgrade freaks like me, counting day to release day.

Long overdue post. I ran my first 5k marathon 31st May 2009. I know 5km is not long for some people, but it’s a big achievement for people like me. I’ve been walking than gradually mixing with running since Feb 2009, some 4km for 5 days a week. So I was excited, when the Sunfeast Bangalore Marathon was announced. I was part of Nike Run Club regular running club at Kanteerava Stadium every Saturday. And thanks to coach Beedu Sir all for the advice and helping us reach the goal. Thanks Nike, still couldn’t believe all was for free, and YES for interested folks Nike Run Club starts again from 13 July, 6:15am every Saturday, Kanteerava Stadium, Bangalore.

30 May 2009. Last day of training. Former 100m world record holder Maurice Greene. And 1982 London marathon winner’s Hugh Jones.
