I’ve gathered a list of the incredible and sometimes scary ways RFID and GPS are used to track everything from soda cans and tires to kids and employees, highlighting the pervasive reach of modern surveillance technology.
I found a great way to map paths by connecting a GPS receiver to Google Earth. It effectively turns a laptop and a budget GPS into a full-featured navigator for a fraction of the cost.
I found a way to use Google Maps with GPS on Nokia mobile devices. This resource highlights early 2005 efforts to integrate real-time location data into mobile mapping long before it became a standard smartphone feature.
I reflect on how fear drives the creation of bloated, unread consulting proposals. By admitting ignorance and prioritizing brevity, I argue that "less is more" actually preserves focus and prevents the professional stagnation caused by corporate fluff.
I compare Indian IT service firms to prisons where professionals endure physical searches, strict clock-ins, and restricted internet access. I share my survey results on corporate web freedom and discuss the industry's pervasive lack of trust.
I believe the traditional "three Rs" must evolve: reading remains vital, but typing and computing have replaced handwriting and mental arithmetic. I plan to help schools prioritize Excel and digital literacy over outdated manual skills.

I use a domain hosting service that uses hidden frames to point to my Geocities site. Know of any better (cheaper) ones?

why do you have to keep the URL at “http://www.s-anand.net” when I follow a link from your page? It’s very irritating actually.
