@anildash "Self-effacing Indian-American blogger forms non-prof to use technology to reform government." You're such NPR bait!

Finally unpacking my LEGO in the apartment.


Work For What You Love

> So Jacob served seven years to get Rachel, but they seemed like only a few days to him because of his love for her. -- Genesis 29:20


Faced with the urge to write, and nothing to write about.


Simplicity and the 10-foot UI

Every so often, I start thinking again about how I'd design a Home Dashboard - a simplified UI that could run on a spare computer, and provide 10-foot access to information like the day's schedule, weather, a bit of news, today's TV schedule, etc.


Weird morning brain: I used to think that when I got to be my grandparents' age, I would think and act like they do now. This morning I realized that I'll probably think and act exactly as I do now - but my grandkids will think of me as just as cantankerous and old-fashioned as I think of my grandparents.
