  • 100 people are dead in Jodhpur Stampede. What’s wrong with this country? #

  • Entered office. It looks like I’m the highest ranking officer on the floor today. #
  • Microsoft says I don’t qualify to use the new Hotmail because I don’t have IE6 or higher. I have Safari 3.1.2 and that’s ‘higher’ for sure! #

Announcing Vulturo’s News Clippings

Ever since I’ve almost exclusively taken to Microblogging, the feed for this blog has become sort of monotonous.

While I can’t tell If I’ll ever get back to full fledged blogging again, you can certainly entertain yourself with the Tweets that I post, the Pictures I upload on Flickr and the Links I publish on Delicious. Those are all spliced into this blog’s feed via Feedburner.

Meanwhile, There’s a lot of feed reading I still do, on a daily basis although the mix is now almost exclusively full of Geek News as against Indian blogs. I ditched Google Reader a while ago and use the NewsGator Service, synced with NetNewsWire on my Macbook and NewsGator Go on my Blackberry.

If you are interested in the news I read and share, you can now subscribe to it at http://feeds.feedburner.com/Vulturo/News. This is almost the DIY version of Google Reader Shared Items.

Anyways, Its enough goofing off already. Peace out, stay beautiful, and that sort of a thing…

  • Gah! The rains have gone but they’ve left behind some harsh and oppressive sunlight. Regret having stepped out for lunch! #
  • What’s wrong with the Smartphone Market? Why are Multitasking and Copy-Paste touted as ‘features’ now? Aren’t they basic stuff? iPhone FAIL! #
  • Pav Bhaji at Shiv Sagar Juhu. After a long time. Thanks to @viveksoni’s anti-international anti-meat food policy, no other options are left! #
  • @sumants I know it does. But they can’t be treated as ‘features’. Just because Apple fucked up, it doesn’t mean lowered expectations for all #
  • Sick, sick, traffic jam. Roads. We want roads! #

  • Pondering questions about Life, The Universe and Everything #
  • No one can change destiny until they lose enough control over it. Dialogue from Kung Fu Panda. Thanks @viveksoni #
