Today afternoon quake measuring 5.5 Richter scale hitted, felt it  for milliseconds, shake shake, pc’s shaking, glasses shaking, things moving, terrible experience…

This CNN News gives all the ford’s owners a deep fear for sure. In India, I remember similar problem occured with another company and they called back, some years ago Toyoto recalled thousands of its vehicles and now Ford’s turn, real bad news for the declining auto major company.

The Hindu has mentioned that after Blogger’s meet, Karthik married the other blogger who turned up to the meet, I wanted to make sure whether the news is right and posted in his blog’s comment section and today got the reply from him, he replied yes. How sweet it was, still wondering how it all happened, need to ask a seperate blog from him.

Today my colleague came to office walking slightly different with a pain in his legs, we asked him what happened, he replied, his neighbours dog chased him and he falled down, we got shocked, I immediately asked him " you could have sued him", then he said, no the dog owner asked me not to run, he said it wont do anything, I got afraid and ran and falled down. We definitely couldnt stop laughing, but poor guy.

Here Again Google comes back with its mobile version after its Dodgeball acquisition, check this out Mobile Google.

Traffic is so high in this part of the world, 10 miles drive to office takes 45 mins, again cutting the lanes all the way to the left and then to take exit cutting  all the way down to right all in this 7 miles freeway traffic, and they easily violate the traffic rules, big trucks literally scares us, by entering into the carpool lane.

Today found an interesting site, Dulance a simple RSS search engine, that even has an option to filter out the advertisement in searches that hardly other search engines do. You want to sell your product, pay us and we will make it a hit is the mantra of other popular engines, as we all know.

Skype again hits back with Vskype its way cool.

Work has been going great.  I still can’t talk about what I’m working on but I really feel like I’ve made it over the hump of moving to a new client and I’m starting to be really productive.

Got a chance to interact with yahoo folks today during lunch session, marketing seems to be the buzz word for them. Thats the way the whole business goes. I donno whether MS and yahoo folks are listening to Google’s 20% time policy? The intrapersonal environment at Google is very energizing and both MS and yahoo losing lot of talented people to its competitors.

Today went to buy parking space pass for my car and was talking to the manager filling out the forms, he said my pass will be effective from today but I already had a visitor pass and he said you can use your new pass badge from tomorrow, but for today just show up to the cashier this bill and your visitor pass, I got worried, as I have been using my visitor pass and creditcard to get my car out as I come out of the building at real weird timings, I told him my concerns, he said " Sir, if my cashier is not there, just come back to me, I will fire him and get your car out of the building". Am speechless.

Switched my auto insurance carrier today, as per friends advise. He indeed suggested to go to the specialist brokers as he did and strike a deal, I did exactly the same, the specialists simply compared 30 licensed insurer and gave me a best deal. Again it saved me hundreds of dollars on insurance premiums with a good rise in deductibles on collision and comprehensive coverage. she took the car pictures herself and got it approved instantly. Need to learn the laws of money. present value formula and future value formula from people it will always excites me.
I was so tired today, got a decent sleep after coming up from office. Will catch up sleep again now..
