Toin and I have been waking up using the alarm on my BlackBerry. While it does the job, you cannot imagine how painful it gets to maneuver the trackball to hit snooze. But can't try the snooze stunt with this little monster: Clocky. Clocky is kinda cute and freaky at the same time. The alarm clock will wake you up with a beeping alarm, and then after some time to keep you from snoozing, it will jump off the table...no seriously, I am not making this up...it really will jump up, and scurry away into a hiding place. Yes, you guessed it...it will beep and tweet like mad from its hiding place. But I can't buy it, Toin will kill the damn thing once she finds it the first morning. Not sure? Why not check out this pesky gremlin in action at YouTube.
You know a social networking effort is in its infancy when my blog with only two posts shows up as one of the Featured Blogs! A few weeks back I had talked about how FastCompany had jumped on the social bus, with social networking type features including a blogging engine for anyone and everyone to write. So in a fit of experimentation, I started one on there. But quite amusing to see how it made it to the "top of the charts" so to say. So take a look at the screen shot to the left of this post in case you are too lazy to follow the link - and follow the link if you are really interested in knowing what I am writing about. Leave a comment or two.
I have been fooled by Google. Yes, it did last for about ten seconds, and then I realized Google did what they have always done on April 1st in the last few years. There was the whole research center on moon, and some other gag about Google Romance, and now, this year it's Google Paper. It says, Google will print your emails and send it via mail...and that too unlimited emails. Now, Gmail was announced on April 1st, and it doesn't surprise me, they have chosen the Gmail log in page to play the joke. And if this turns out to be true in any manner, I will ....ok....this will never be, and can never be true. Google 1, Sumit 0
