On Demand TV Ripes

Saturday, November 20th, 2004

Lead by this hint from Rajesh, I hit this recent news CNN article about RipeTV. Having experienced Comcast On Demand for a year when we lived in jersey city, this news isnt totally surprising. RipeTV should just be on more to the host of video programming choices available in Comcast On Demand for consumers. For [...]

Blogs are redefining modern media

Tuesday, November 16th, 2004

Its been a while since I have bragged about blogs. The last week has been pretty interesting both at work and off it. At work, I have started an internal blog, that i have been trying to introduce to our team as a knowledge sharing tool. Though it hasnt been completely welcomed and embraced yet, [...]

Incredible Jana!!!

Saturday, November 13th, 2004

Inspired by Finding Nemo and Pixar reputation, we saw ‘The Incredibles’ last night. The movie was good enough but no where close to Finding Nemo. The premise was pretty creative : After all, super hero’s also have their own life, family, kids and a day to retire I laughed out loud on some funny [...]

Puerto Rico - part 2

Saturday, November 13th, 2004

Part 1 is below here:
Continuing from where I left: On Saturday afternoon, the wave runner session ended five minutes ahead of the 1/2 hour schedule as I finally realized that Harini was really pleading to get off the water. Tanning was the last of the things we went to a sunny state like Puerto [...]

Our experience in Puerto Rico - Part 1

Friday, November 12th, 2004

Its our first anniversary and aren’t first anniversaries supposed to be special and taken seriously? (its got to be if one considers the marriage as successful ).

The travelogue?

Thursday, November 11th, 2004

Stinking Cigar - A short film

Thursday, November 11th, 2004

I have been wanting to write about this short film ever since the movie was made three months ago. Today, the day of famous Hindu festival, Deepavali, perhaps was pre-destined to be day of release for this short (and sweet) film - Stinking Cigar.
Stinking Cigar is being released today for the general public. Directed by [...]

Anniversary Day

Thursday, November 4th, 2004

Bush victory yesterday has only made the mood sober and thankfully we will be away not having to repent too much for it. You never know, four years from now we may as well witness an Arabian Union (UDAS - united democratic arabian states!!!) and a unified korea with their own liras and dollars! [...]

Gilligan’s Island at Work

Monday, November 1st, 2004

Friday was a big day in our office. It was the official halloween party day and the entire building was bustling with people constumed up in all colors. The most common theme was ‘To Scare’ but our team chose to stay bit different. A few weeks ago, I was introduced the 70s classic TV series [...]
