Why so much hatred...?

Is it just me or has the amount of hatred in the world overflown already? Everyone finds it so convenient to spew such terrible things about the government, the people of the govt., scams, and everything else that all I can see around me is negativity. This is just so depressing!

Changing allegiances...slowly.

How many of you have 'dual-boot' computers? Linux with Windows, or more specifically Windows with Ubuntu?

Learning to sit still.

This isn't a new idea at all. I just googled it and found blog posts about it. Same idea, different ways to put it. I'm talking about 'meditation'.

A trip to 'DC

I made a little trip to Washington DC with Arjun yesterday. Had a great time sightseeing even though rain (a soft spray, more or less) played spoilsport and didn't let up even for five minutes.
We made it by around 12 noon from Philly and were greeted by the wet weather. Finding our way around took a little while, but we managed okay thanks to Google Maps. God bless technology; what would we do without it!

Teleported!

Okay, I hardly told a soul around me that I am going abroad for a month and now here I am sitting in my hotel room feeling lost and lonely on a Sunday morning with no one from back there asking 'you alright, man', or 'how do you like it there? settled into the new routine yet?'.
My bad.

The "computer" in movies and TV shows

I cannot count how many times I've seen movies (especially Hollywood sci-fi's) show a computer as some thing very alien or "sci-fi-like" or "futuristic" or... well, you get the idea. Computers, or more specifically what the monitor shows, in these movies do not look like the computers we all know: a windows desktop, a Linux shell/desktop, or a Mac. They are deliberately made to look like something mere mortals cannot understand, let alone work with (think the X-Men series).
