A 3 day weekend is here

after a really long time. I don't remember the last 3 day weekend I had! I do remember our trips to Miami and Las Vegas though.. so it hasn't been a really long time since I've had time off from work but I could always use some more!! :)

Well the mother in law is visiting for Memorial day weekend, we're taking her to Alcatraz and our local temple but nothing else is decided, lets see.

The Wired 40

Check out The Wired 40 - masters of innovation, technology, and strategic vision - 40 companies driving the global economy. Interesting Read. Steve Jobs is CEO of 2 top 10 companies - Apple and Pixar!

Competition for Sony Type U?

Check out OQO's upcoming marvel portable computer. It compares well with Sony's Type U which is yet to be launched. I think I like OQO right now (not just because they are from the bay area but) because of the additional advantage of having a keypad/board. The future promises exciting development :)

Aspirin - the wonder drug!

Read this. Have you had your aspirin today? :)

Birthday week

Last week was mine and my mil's birthday week. =) Was very nice. I enjoyed it. On my birthday, Wednesday, May 19th, we went for a nice hike in Las Trampus.







Then we had some good chinese food and slept like baby.

I flew to SB on Thursday. My wonderful company 4YourSoul got a super jillako coconut cake for me ..really yummy. Mohammed was recording the whole thing, I was bit embrassed. Then, I flew back to SFO on Friday. Just relaxed. On saturday, we went and picked up my vehicle. It looks brand new. I was horrified and tensed driving it for the first time after the accident. It was very tough for me. I got over it soon though. Yesterday, we went for a small hike (look for the blue line in the map).



I got lot of gifts from Arvind. Umah.. thanks Arvind.

Getting the most out of lithium-based batteries

Read this excellent article about lithium-based batteries. I have to change the way I use my iBook battery!

Flying for the first time

Well, in a little more than 12 hours, my parents are going to be on their way to Sydney to visit Arjun, the other sibling! Although my father has flown many times before, its going to be my mother's first time. For her and others jittery of getting on the first flight, here are some helpful tips. As for myself, I've always liked travelling. I like flying better than taking a bus, car or train because flying gives me time to do things - read books, listen to music, sleep, watch movies. Normally, I tend to experience motion-sickness if I try doing those things while in motion but flights are calmer. A mind that's relaxed helps to make travelling that much stress-free. :)
