Is your workplace as cool as mine ? Can you sit like that infront of your colleagues. I doubt it 
Just discovered 'blog this' on flickr and ran into this nice photo too. Simply beautiful. It really captures two people in love
Something interesting I read on Steve Woz's site
As yet another engineer working in Silicon Valley, it seems that with
all the Internet startups and dot-com millionaires, no-one is out to create
exciting, innovative products and technologies here anymore. Instead of
"How can I change the world?", it's "How can I go IPO ASAP and get rich
quick?" I see PhD's leaving high-tech to work on yet another search engine.
I see folks reading The Wall Street Journal who used to read Byte. Do
you see this trend worsening? Can hi-tech get out of this dot-com mind-set
and back to innovation? Will there ever be anything close to a technical
revolution again?
Woz:
I do see this trend increasing. A lot of the problem is that small guys
with something attractive have a much more difficult time getting recognized.
This is largely due to the spending of large companies, ensuring that
their territory is not easily eaten into. You have a good point. Where
are the engineers and scientists these days? All we hear about are CEO's.
Typically they attended business schools and weren't inspired by science
fiction.
Protest against ATI nearly led to the arrest of RMS. I really admire RMS for his firm convictions in the principles of free software
I was checking the scrapbook of some people on Orkut. My findings if you are a female, here is what you will see in your scrapbook
If you are a male, don't expect anything to come into your Orkut scrapbook - thank god for small mercies.
And while I am in the rant mode - guys, here is a message from sanity department. Please take time to get to know the Real World. It is better to know girls in the Real World as opposed to trying to pick frnds in the Orkut forums. There are people I know who masquerade as girls on the forums - to serve as good material for jokes to pass time in the boring meetings.
The names have been changed to protect the fucking idiots. Am I the only one left in the world who is pedantic about spellings :-/
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them

The one ring is available cheap now
Interesting bits from the paper Managing Impressions Online:Self-Presentation Processes in the Online Dating Environment
In the section Self-Presentation and Self-Disclosure in Online and Offline Contexts
Therefore, if participants aspire to an intimate relationship, their desire to feel understood by their interaction partners will motivate self-disclosures that are open and honest as opposed to deceptive. This tension between authenticity and impression management is inherent in many aspects of self-disclosure.
In section The Importance of Small Cues
For instance, one participant said she looked for profiles that were well-written, because "I just think if they can't spell or" formulate sentences, I would imagine that they're not that educated." Because writing ability was perceived to be a cue that was "given off" or not as controllable, participants noticed misspelled words in profiles, interpreting them as evidence of lack of interest or education. As one female participant put it, "If I am getting email from someone that obviously can't spell or put a full sentence together, I'm thinking what other parts of his life suffer from the same lack of attentiveness?"
This is something I completely agree with. I form an opinin of people based on how they write their emails. Emails with too much slag or sms-lingo turn me off.

Additionally, our interview data suggest that online representations of one's ideal self — when combined with the increased accountability engendered by an anticipated face-to-face interaction may serve as a tool to enable individuals to minimize the discrepancy between their actual and their ideal selves.
An example of this is
In another case, a woman who misrepresented her weight online used an upcoming meeting as incentive to minimize the discrepancy between her actual self and the ideal self articulated in her profile: * I've lost 44 pounds since I've started [online dating], and I mean, that's one of the reasons I lost the weight so I can thank online dating for that. [Because] the first guy that hit on me, I checked my profile and I had lied a little bit about the pounds, so I thought I had better start losing some weight so that it would be more honest. That was in December, and I've lost every week since then. (MaryMoon, Los Angeles Female)*
