Marc’s Outlook on Productivity – a good blog on productivity software.

Apologetic software.

Picasa is good. I incorporated all my photos in it, and I can now search for photos of people by name. (I have catalogued my photos’ file names with peoples’ names.) Now, with Google taking over Picasa, we will soon be able to store/share photos on Google, and search across others’ shared photos, using Google’s image search!

Mumbai Navigator from IITB tells you how to get from one place to another in Mumbai, using the local bus and train services. Also has maps. (Here’s the old Mumbai Navigator.) Alphonso has the full Mumbai local train timetables as pictures. If you’re looking for street maps, Google Maps has a pretty good street map of Mumbai. But it’s not as good as MapMyIndia, which gives you the driving route from Nariman Point to Bandra for instance.

Google IPO. Their SEC registration is very readable – and gives a perspective on how corporate governance should be.
