one helluva zooming trip

, , , ...

All of you still thing, Flash is for cheap thrills, and youtube videos alone, think again!!
I call this serious art. This hyper zoom sample created by the folks at zoomquilt, speaks for itself. This is an artist's imaginataion come to life. For centuries, artists might have visualised to create a work they could travel into... and Flash gives them the power to do exactly that.
Kudos to the team involved. Me just spent half an hour zooming in and out of this. gives you the creeps. If not the motion, then the very weird art work would get to you for sure!!!

My house on google maps....

, , , ...

After years of waiting, and lots of zooming in and out.... and lots of searches on wikimapia and google maps and google earth. Finally the secret spy satellites and flying gadgetry that google employs to see over the world, got to my humble abode too.
Well, having your privacy invaded aint smthing to be proud about.... but well, this has become some kind of an issue of pride and self respect. Atleast betwwen me and my pal Abhi. cuz he cud show me the exact spot he used to pee all his childhood, while my hwole town was some green blob for google.
So here it is...

what did you just do guddu????

But just in case, u really wanna support me, do drop in at : guddu's blog

Whats life all about...

, , , ...

Life isn't about keeping score...
It's not about how many friends you have.
Or how many people call you, or how accepted or unaccepted you are.
Not about if you have plans this weekend, or if you're alone.
It isn't about who you're dating, or who you used to date,
how many people you've dated, or if you haven't been with anyone at all.
It isn't about who your family is, or how much money they have.
Or what kind of car they drive.....

It's not about how beautiful or ugly you are.
Not about what clothes you wear, what shoes you have on,
or the kind of music you listen to....
It's not about if your hair is blonde, red, black, brown, or green.
Or if your skin is too light or too dark.

Its not about how good you are at "your" sport.
Not about what grades you get,
how smart you are, or how smart everyone else thinks you are.
Not the least about how smart “standardized tests” say you are.
It's not about representing your whole being on a piece of paper,
and seeing who will accept the “written you".

Life just ain’t about any of these.....

But life is about who you love and who you hurt.
It's about who you make happy or unhappy purposefully.
It's about keeping or betraying trust.
It's about friendship, used as sanctity, or as a weapon.
It's about what you say and mean, maybe hurtful, maybe heartening.
It's about what judgments you pass and why.
And who your judgments are spread to.

It's about who you've ignored with full control and intention.
It's about jealousy, fear, pain, ignorance, and revenge.
It's about carrying inner hate and love,
letting it grow and spreading it.

But most of all,
it's about using your life to touch or poison other people's hearts
in such a way that could never have occurred alone....
Only you choose the way these hearts are affected,
and those choices are what life is all about....

Hello World!!!

, , , ...

The purpose of this blog is to serve as a backup of my brain - a permanent online record so I wouldn’t miss out any thoughts i fail to write down on paper.
If I come across an interesting link, find some neat new technology, or purely want to bitch about something, or just have a wierd thought i wanna tell the world about, I create a post...
But then you have to start everything technology with the "hello world!" example...
So here I am....
<Helloo />
