Firefox Bus
Photo: Kalyan Varma

Couldn’t help but post this picture. Got this from Gizmodo, finally drilled down to the original photographer Kalyan Varma. From his blog…

While coming from Mysore, we suddenly saw a big Firefox logo pasted on a bus. We stopped the car and and stopped the bus which was about to leave and took these photographs. I wonder if the artist knew where the logo came from :)

Well, Mysore is a place close to Bangalore, the technology hub of India. I’m not sure if the bus owner or the artist is aware of Mozilla Firefox. But then any publicity is good. Rediscover the web ;)

Humanized… Why Not?

20 Feb 2008

Sometime having to read through the comments makes sense. Smashing Magazine, one of my favorite site, had a post “Productivity Boost: Key Stroke Launchers“. I’m no great fan of utilities… alright, alright I admit, I’ve Yahoo! Widget & Google Desktop. Now, after I went through the post, the first comment was

I think you forgot to include “enso” it’s awesome and it recently moved to freeware

The I scrolled down and saw many visitors commenting about Enso Launcher. Now, more than month after installing Enso, my CAPS LOCK is my new Start button in my WinXP Laptop. Though, in term of frequency it still couldn’t beat the sweet old SPACE BAR I use in Photoshop :)

Thanks people for introducing me to Enso. Now I chant like the comment #57.

ENSO ENSO ENSO! Great.

Air Woes

Imphal/Pune Airport

My first visit to Pune, a day trip returning the same day. I’m unable to see the city except for my place of business and, of course, the airport. There was no evening flight flying to Bangalore, so I’d to catch the 5:30pm flight. I’d a rather very hectic day in Pune, coupled that with a skipped lunch, surviving on few mugs of coffee. And the last thing I needed was a delayed flight of 2 hours. The sky was clear, but no sign of my flight, the reason - no place for another flight to park, but the apron has just two plane. And it seems there is already some 3 flight hovering, waiting in queue to land.

Pune, the next upcoming technology destination after Bangalore & NCR (India) hasn’t upgraded. I pray it doesn’t meet the fate of Bangalore, choking at its seams, where the infrastructure can’t keep up with the industry.

I’d put a picture comparing Pune’s airport with my lil town Imphal airport.

My First Action Movie

27 May 2007

I got my first movie as a action hero.
Quite an innovative way to market a broadband service.

Compare the photo I uploaded and the computer generated one :)
