star wars


well this weekend saw the entire star wars saga... had watched the Episodes I, II 'n III before, but it was a different thing all together to watch all six episodes @ a stretch.

Think 'revenge of the sith' will be my most fave movie of the lot....just love da way its been directed...so dark...da journey of "Anakin Skywalker' to da dark-side so perfectly captured....

All 6 movies should be on the must-watch list(collection) of any movie-lover....
'n for those who still haven't managed to watch 'em even once...thn all i can say is 'Go...Watch...Now' :)

google reader

well...today was just telling one of my friends that i blog here whate'er i find interesting in da technology world 'n use a lot...'n realized that i hadn't put in an entry regarding 'Google Reader' to which 'm so addicted these days...

For starters Google Reader is a simple, free to use 'Feeds a.k.a RSS Reader'. You can go through this incredibly easy-to-understand 'n to-the-point FAQ. So that saves me the trouble of explaining it. :D

And now where all does it find its uses. A single place to track if there are any updates to the blogs you visit often. A great place to get all the latest news, gossip, rumours...well only if you subscribe to the right sites ofcourse. For e.g: if you are a sports freak, you can always subscribe to bbc sports or if you are a technology freak you can subscibe to the zillions of such sites out there on the net.

Now, the feature i like the most is sharing ofcourse :). Then there are tags. 'N Something which i found today, the 'Goodies' section. It has two cool goodies called 'Put Reader in the Bookmark' and 'Subscibe as You Surf' . 'N the former displays this when there are no new updates. :)

So, Njoi reading!

time-line

well just now stumbled upon this great site, while searching for a good time-line software.

It all began when i stumbled on this sometime back. Somehow the idea seemed to remain in that mind of mine...so searched for it again yesterday. But again the complexity just to get it to work overwhelmed me.

'n today realized tht i hadn't dugg the link, which meant finding it will be tough in case i need to refer to it in future. So off i went again to the site, 'n strangely went to the bottom of the comment section, where in i found this gem. :) Though granularity of the time-line needs a lot to be desired, it makes up for it in its simplicity 'n easy-to-use interface. Perfect for lazy ppl like me. :)
so it may be some time before i spend some time figuring out 'n setting up this, as now i have a great alternative. :)

its funny how so many new 'n innovative ideas people come up with, like 'YouTube' which has been named the 'Best Invention of The Year' by the Time magazine. :)
