Tech star…tup

Sunday, July 20th, 2008

Boulder is a city that I really liked though I have only visited it twice during my almost a year of weekly commuting to Denver in 2003. It is also a city high in entrepreneurial spirit, thanks to a vibrant university and the loads of venture capitalists around, and of course, a community that [...]

streaming our lives

Monday, July 7th, 2008

Heard life streaming? Then you are not as much wired yet.

[source : readwriteweb]
Its the myspacefacebooktwitter economy. Take that to next level, you are hit with life streaming. Do you want to spend your life recording your life? or living? you decide. But if you decide to record, you will be lifestreaming instead of living. So [...]

New Media is gaining momentum

Friday, June 27th, 2008

Eros International (who pretty much control most of foreign distribution of Indian films, especially with the acquisition of Ayangaran, the Eros of Tamil movies) recently announced their FY 2008 earnings numbers. Check the details here.
I noticed Eros’s new media sources alone brought in $28 million. Of course, the portfolio of film and music content [...]

twitterphobia

Saturday, June 21st, 2008

A friend of mine asked me if I twitter. I don’t. I have come across a while ago but neither did I find any need to twitter nor a need to “follow” other twitters. I actually don’t know who else I know twitters. Even if they did, I am not sure if I care to [...]

Its India’s turn now

Saturday, June 7th, 2008

So far, it was US turn to acquire firms in India and capitalize on its growth. Not anymore! The trend is reversing. I was watching a CNBC late night show on India Rising and from the interviews of all the tycoons of business in India, I could see the spirit is high. The business leaders [...]

The new New Media is Social Media

Monday, May 26th, 2008

User generated video content has exploded in last 2-3 years beyond one’s imagination. Beyond YouTube, Metacafe and Blip.tv (the three that I regularly browse through) there are hundreds of others who scout the world looking for amateur video. All of this in the hope of becoming the next niche media distribution channel within the Internet.
This [...]

Simply amazing

Krazydad simply is amazing. The image is an high-end art work combined with some mathematical fascination.

Click on the image above. It will open a larger version of this artwork and you will have a better view of the individual phots that were used to create this photo-poster. Move your mouse there over any one circular [...]

Thanksgivings weekend

Sunday, November 27th, 2005

It has been very travel-intense weekend. To Stamford, connecticut and back on Thursday and then to Fairfax, Virginia on Friday-Sunday. We followed the American tradition of burning cheap fuel during the Thanksgiving! [Gas prices went under $2 (rather surprisingly but timely) for the first time in quite some time and my sweet old buddy Honda [...]

pc revolution

Friday, September 30th, 2005

MIT’s Nicholas Negroponte takes a lead and introduced the $100 PC to the world. If all goes well, he expects to produce more $100 PC than regular PCs by 2007. Rajesh Jain has been promoting a similar revolution in India and Business 2.0’s Om Malik wrote a lengthy article just a few months ago.

American splendour

Wednesday, September 7th, 2005

I was watching ‘American Splendor’, a documentary about the true story of Harvey Pekar. How the pathetic wierd-named Pekar inspite of his dishevelled life, became a monumental icon for ‘American’s Common Man”, at least for a short period of time. Out of shear coincidence, I watched the movie ‘Crumb’ which documents the life of Robert [...]
