  1. What's with all this rain in Bengaluru in November! Making up for a not-so-consistent monsoon or climate change effects?
  2. Matthew Stibbe (of Bad Language blog) has just released a *free* book: 30 Days to Better Business Writing http://is.gd/4R4uW
  3. @maxinsamuel I think it used to be that at some point. Now it seems to have become a "my cracker is louder than yours" contest.
  4. @maxinsamuel You just may be :-). The crazy weather patterns are worrying though as is the amount of fossil fuels we're using.
  5. @maxinsamuel See this: SuperFreakonomics Gets Climate Change Super Freaking Wrong: http://bit.ly/1DZ9sW (via @frankejames)
  6. @maxinsamuel I did know about the India chapter, not about the spreadsheet, which is really useful.
  7. @frankejames It is an amazing idea & the stuff that came out of it is even more amazing. Takes guts to do though.
  8. I'm wondering why I've not seen more TED talks (http://www.ted.com/). I've seen 2 in 2 days & they've been brilliant. You should watch too.
  9. Daniel Suelo's last 9 years: Living in a cave; dumpster diving, foraging, fishing, & sometimes hunting for food. http://is.gd/46BDm
  10. If you've not been, go to Landmark (Forum mall). Lots of CDs on sale, books as well, other stuff too (I think). On till Oct 11.
  11. The power of time off, a TED talk by Stephen Sagmeister, is brilliant. http://bit.ly/UiQe5 (via @frankejames)
  12. Came across this on Caterina Fake's blog: Ken Robinson on schools & how they kill creativity http://is.gd/42C1v. Funny, insightful, superb.
  13. In case you haven't heard already, Mr. Big is playing in Bangalore on Oct 10: http://is.gd/40cRg
  14. Reading Bram Stoker's Dracula with the Infinite Summer folks - http://is.gd/3YfKc . Initial thoughts: fabulous even if you know the story.
  15. Gina (see prev twit), who I did know but hadn't met in a few years, was always warm & nice to me. May she rest in peace.
  16. Shocked & sad to hear about this: http://is.gd/3WhWN (Socialite falls to death) . Tragic. Condolences to her family.
  17. Who are you going to be? is Franke James' latest visual essay. Like the others she's written, this too is a fun read: http://is.gd/3D5KU
  18. Saw an ad hoardng with two youngsters holding Kingfisher beer cans. From what I saw it said, Beer can radio. Proxy advertising gone nuts?
  19. ESPN-Star-Star Cric not relaying on Hathway (digital/analog). Hathway rep says ESPN's wants Rs. 150 more. 1 week to resolve maybe. $#%@*.
  20. Quite a tragic end to the Andhra CM's life. Yahoo! News: Reddy's chopper had deviated from route, hit a cliff: http://tinyurl.com/kotn9z
