I am my own coolness

I thought I was the only guy cool enough to think that this place wasn’t cool enough. Every­body, I’m sur­prised to find (well, quite a large num­ber, in any case) has the same prob­lem. That the other peo­ple are weirdly lame, hope­less and/or don’t do any work. So they’re all say­ing the same thing about each

Steve Jobs

I really didn’t think I’d write any­thing on this mat­ter. Every­body else (as is usual) had writ­ten a lot any­ways. Many of them are even remark­ably nice. Another rea­son why I didn’t want to even, say any­thing, was because I wasn’t shocked. Every­body was shocked. I was prob­a­bly sad when I got to know of

Got Mac

Got a 13′ Mac­book Pro. 12.6.11, Cool-ish date . From this point onward, this post could be a 100 pages long with some fan­boy bull­shit or it could end right here. — Copied from Abi Cause it couldn’t be truer.

The Evolution of the Ampersand

I might be bla­tantly steal­ing from this post, so please readt i bforet, and give it all the credit. A most amaz­ing site about the his­tory of all the cool typo­graphic char­ac­ters — which are often left unno­ticed and not played much around with in type­faces (like the octothorpe = #), and very pretty char­ac­ters

Windows 8

I’m the last guy (at least I believe for nowa­days) you’d find blog­ging about tech­nol­ogy. It’s almost like talk­ing pub­licly about the envi­ron­ment. Every­body has a screwed-up opin­ion, and a major­ity of the peo­ple stand­ing around, pre­tend to know what will work, and just absolutely know every­thing that mat­ters. That is kind of why I

God and beliefs

This will be a short one. After yesterday’s post, I swear. So, I vis­ited a tem­ple (an over­rated one, at that) recently. And I asked myself, am I an athe­ist. I def­i­nitely have a prob­lem with reli­gious peo­ple, who do all the vegetarianism-bullshit and claim it to be sym­bolic of some kind of devo­tion. I

Failures

I recently received numer­ous exam­i­na­tion results of mine (well, two, to enu­mer­ate, but that’s still more than aver­age). And I failed in both. I didn’t fail per se, but the results were pretty bad that they left lit­tle, if any, scope for being happy. I con­sider that fail­ure enough. What’s the value of a result

Why I started qount-it

There’s that prezi which, in prin­ci­ple, does answer that ques­tion. And there are also tiny para­graphs over on the cur­rently open blog (phi). I don’t really know what to add here, so I’ll just tell you a story. I don’t know when the idea came — I don’t even remem­ber if it’s my brother’s idea or

Save the planet?!

Save your­self. Save the tree, save the bees Save the whales, save those snails And the great­est arro­gance of all, “Save the planet”. What?! Are the fuck­ing peo­ple kid­ding me? Save the planet, we don’t even know how to take care of our­selves yet. …

Writing after thought

It’s been ages since I posted some­thing. I want to write about the numer­ous things I’ve done, the very many thoughts I’ve encoun­tered, and the awe­some books I’ve read. But after much thought, it boils down to, who cares? What’s mine, is mine. It’s mostly remain with me, if it needs to. So what’s the
