Good karma of the day

Managed to rescue a baby kite, fed egg with a ink dropper. The prospects are not
good. Wildlife rescue guys will pick him up later in the day.
[Update] WRRC (http://www.wrrcbangalore.org/) Bangalore rescued this guy. He is a tad beat up but he is gonna be okay! Hope he grows up into a fine fella. :)

Herzog brings 20,000-year-old art to life

CNN news item...
Oh what I would not give to go to this cave and admire the paintings but I think it makes so much sense to not make it a tourist destination and ruin it. If I get a chance I intend to watch the 3D movie.
Don't you think it is fascinating to think that 20,000 years back a bunch of guys might have decided on a lazy afternoon to draw something without having a clue that 20,000 years later it would have an audience.

Who is dead again? (Thanks Vinay!) :)

Came across a funny tweet

"I can now reassure the world that Osama Bin Laden is NOT hiding in Pakistan now" :)

Osama is dead

Just heard that Osama Bin Laden is dead in a CIA op. When I passed this information to my friend the first thing she asked was "So, is terrorism over or this is the beginning?". I truly hope this is the end of terrorism that has plagued the world for the past decade or so. Way too many innocents have lost their lives in this madness. I personally don't consider any issue (religious, political, idealogical etc) worth killing women and children.

iMac





























I happened to visit Apple store yesterday. It truly is an exciting experience to see the wonderful gadgets. I lovingly eyed the iMac. I wished I had the money to plonk down and buy one right away and take it home. I suspect my wife would have me spayed if I did have the money and ended up buying this baby! ;)
The specs I liked is below but at Rs. 1.25 lacs it is hopelessly beyond reach for me.

Facebook

It has been few days since I turned my back on Facebook and I can already feel the withdrawal symptoms! Perhaps Facebook is a plot by aliens to enslave earthlings to sweet nothing and force us to lose our productivity. It boggles my mind to think that by 2012 Facebook is expected to have more than a billion users! Imagine the gold mine the founders are sitting on once they crack the monetization code.
