YouMint Horoscope Page I get these regular email from Youmint.com and I have no clue for why or what is their purpose. But today it was different, for once their mail looked a tad more inviting that the rest of them that piled up before this one. I opened it and landed on a page. [...]

The Indian Memory Project A few years back I got a couple of old photographs from home with the intention to restore them and get them printed. Somehow I never managed the time to get all of them done, but this was the first one. (More info is on the photograph itself and will try [...]

Belkin In Desk iPod Grommet Now that makes perfect sense. I have one that dangles around everywhere all the time. Not to mention the battalion of wires that march out from it and into the PC / Stereo etc. Here’s what the manufacturers say. What’s special about this iPod® Dock? Provides a safe docking station [...]

9031: Free Downloads: Screensavers. Came across this today. It was a short search from Apartment Therapy and then over to finding a screenshot of the desired screensaver and then to 9031′s downloads page. Fliqlo is a lovely screensaver, simple and shows the time in a classic style flip clock. And the downloads page is even [...]

Pumaphone Somebody had to do this. And the fact that it’s this sporty and has a bright interface (and not a geeky droidy thing) is a plus. There are website talking about how viable is the solar option and when do I leave it out to dry.. errr.. charge. Well, the fact that this comes [...]

Warning, Your Cell Phone May Be Hazardous To Your Health: Gear + Gadgets: GQ. The original post talks about the effects of cell phone radiation and how much research has been done and how harmful etc. What I was interested in was the image (attached) and originally posted on the GQ website. Follow either the [...]

Off late I am coming across pages of different news websites and others that have more advertising per page than actual content. Now we all know that everyone has to make a buck or two but at what cost? Attached is a screenshot from http://www.mid-day.com/. I understand the fact that ads need to be there [...]

It’s a no-brainer that when you want to play Football, or have to play Football, you carry a Football. But then you Gym bag is needed to carry the ball and a few other things like the Spike Boots, well you cant really drive with those on and so on. But what if you want [...]

Why again? It was supposed to get me updates from Picassa, Blogger, Flickr, and some more things. But initial experience soon became a pain of repeated comments and updates. Simple things are not sorted out. Things like sending me an update on my own comment. These kind of things just highlight the fact that the [...]

LiveStats by GoSquared – Real-Time Traffic Monitoring for your Site. The software gets you live information on who is visiting your website at any given time. But what’s stunning is the User Interface that does the job. Even though I have no utility for this kind of a software, I am tempted. The product gives [...]

Was just going through the new new new Facebook User Interface and I noticed this. Seems like Facebook wants to get serious this time around in making money. And inside it has these options. (Shown in second image)

This post is for those who are not into CSS and HTML and normally get stuck trying to style their buttons Every day on almost every website we come across these lovely buttons and on some we get the plain old boring default ones. We are not concerned with the boring ones, but here’s a [...]

Notion Ink Adam hands-on via Notion Ink Adam hands-on – SlashGear. Here’s another Tablet in the market, hitting it a wee bit before the ipad, sometime in December 2008. Since it’s a prototype the Adam’s casing here is not what the final design will be; in fact this was hand-made especially for showing the tablet at [...]

Just like this Blog’s homepage. The steps are easy. Here is a small description into how I got this done on this blog. Why I got this done is explained first. Over the years I have shied away from commenting on Blogs simply because one has to click and go to a comments popup form [...]

Flip! A jQuery plugin v0.9.9. Just came across this post while browsing for 3D Topic Browsers in Jquery. It’s a simple Jquery funcltion to flip a container within a web page. I think, it’s a great idea to have spot reply forms created with these. They will give a blog very ‘Dashboard – Widget – [...]

This is a video of an anamorphic, time traveling DeLorean (Mr. Fusion and all) I made in my basement. The image was made using only painter’s tape and elbow grease. And, it makes me happy every time I look at it. – Wablamo (on youtube) I think it’s pure fun. Even more fun if you [...]

There have been recent cases of people getting stuck in bus doors and the bus moving off resulting in injury. It is true that the drivers and conductors of these buses care very little, and in the stressful traffic have little to spare to do that. But can’t the manufacturer rig the doors correctly? Metro [...]

User interaction forms have been around on the web for a very very long time. And just like software on desktop, each operational item is displayed either by and Icon or a Button or Both.

Back in the late 90s most websites were made for the user. And they are so even now. But the definition of the user has changed over time and become complicated. The concept initially was much like a software, “a person comes and uses a website” and has changed over time to “a person comes [...]

Identity design for Markasia Textiles. A recently worked upon project. Will post more details with other images later in the work section.

I am surprised to see this. Analytics running on the Blog say that Safari and Firefox are the most used browsers ahead of an unknown which I presume is Google Chrome. IE is a distant 4th.

This is not a rumor or a hoax, this is just a suggestion. We all know that iPod is probably one of the most used devices in the car in conjunction with other devices that already exist. But why doesn’t Apple get into the market directly and give us front row right from the driver’s [...]

“I don’t know if i totally agree with that. But nevertheless, you make a good point. What if I can come up with a response in opposition to your arguments” Yep. That’s a spam caught in Akismet. On a regular blog that may sound like a legit comment, but when its posted on a tweet [...]

While there can be many Cook Pu but the one that Internet is now searching for is a character from HIMYM (How I met your mother), a popular comedy periodic from cbs. The character is Architecture Professor Ted Mosby’s student. Popular for all the jokes that can be played on the name. Character is played [...]

Now a days we are flooded with a crowd of short URLs that inadvertently  find their way to Blogs, Posts and other such places. By nature, these URLs do not disclose the source of the content. However, once ported to a larger medium like a Blog or Forum, they need to disclose their final target. A need [...]

Infographic of the Day: Eight Years of Tablet Talk [UPDATED] | Fast Company. A very interesting way of representing that data. Apart from that, a very interesting data in itself.

For a long time I have had this thought in mind. Why can’t washing machines have 2 water inlets, separate for Hot and Cold since so many users now have Solar Heaters at home. How it would help: Reduction in energy costs when heated wash is used. Most washing soaps are designed to work in [...]

Just curious, how many actually use this feature in Safari? Top Sites is a feature in safari where it gives you a thumbnail display of all frequently visited websites. Although the function is very simple, the display however is fantastic like all things Apple.

The P2 theme from Automattic is probably the best theme there till date for an active blog. It supports inline comments and posting right from the homepage itself. The inline comments on this blog is also inspired by the P2 theme, in future would probably style P2 to run on this blog.

I have an internet enabled phone, which I use primarily to talk (90%), text (8%), click images of vague animals and impromptu kid actions (2%). I did try using it to receive my emails, at least read through them or reply back but the lack of screen space is just a killer. That’s how this [...]

This is needed in the very near future. Devices would be categorized as Handheld, Storage, Display, Input, Output, Network apart from all others that may be there in the Kitchen. Let’s just leave them for now for the sake of ease (that’s my ease). Diagram displays the possible interconnectivity and overlap. The problem comes when [...]

Related Tweet It seems there is a Campaign on supported by our cricketers and a popular mobile company to save the Tigers that are left in India. An alarming 1411. The Campaign in it’s true ad world way shows a tiger cub waiting for his / her mother followed by a gun shot echoing through [...]

Carrying forward from my earlier post here, we can create Tablets that not only help in personal computing and handheld computing, but also extend visually and physically. Something thats a physical Grid as well as a computing Grid. The idea maybe a little over the top, but things should aim at heading this way.

Apple – iPad – The best way to experience the web, email, and photos. Well this might be a little too early to say as I may give in to the looks and the design of the ipad sometime soon as soon as its stable and available in India, but I still have my doubts [...]
