The Solar System. From anywhere.

It’s true. The Web is boring. I am increasingly bored. Can’t somebody come up with new paradigms?

Corporate anthems in IT companies. Imagine having to listen to these for motivation. (Or singing along!)

In defense of cheating. About how the school system should be changed to encourage co-operation.

I’ve been reading a lot about augmented reality lately.

Amazing, what some people try and do with cats. And image recognition.

The original Google paper.

IP Telephony in India. At last.

Powerful thoughts against digitization. And since these days I need an excuse to justify the amount of paper I’m using, this article helps ease my conscience.
