I wrote my first novel off the cuff. It was huge, more than 100K words. Then I piquéd the interest of Random House and they wanted the entire book and I panicked. I didn't expect that. So I hurriedly took a scalpel, an ax and a chain saw and went at it, editing. I rewrote a few chapters totally and didn't have time to…

Growing up in India, I always saw my mom use these blocks of blue soap which was specifically meant for laundry. One can still find it in Indian grocery stores here in the US.

Im tired of writing - Tasker can do this - for every new app that comes out claiming to simplify your phone usage behavior.

I'm going to be Raptured by Raptors.

It does not work on my G2 with CM7. I get till the playing screen. I get a few seconds of audio, no video and then it reverts back to the queue. Flixster's app is a better queue manager than this!

Yes. Early death due to cirrhosis, resulting in decreased chances of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

aCar is another nice Android app that I use. It has a bunch of useful stats.

This is what I understood about muscle memory:

They are crawling over it and moving on. I doubt if they want to dip their tiny mandibles into a habenero plant. Even I wouldn't! But I planted the others elsewhere just to be sure.

All of it

I want to plant some saplings at my workplace, but there are black ants in the soil. Are they okay? I planted the habanero saplings and they seem to just walk over them. I need to know if the tomatoes and okras will turn out okay.

This might be a far shot and I myself haven't tried, but I intend to do so. I casually came across a Radon testing kit and it turns out that my state of Tennessee provides it for free. So I signed up for one and sent the kit for evaluation. It came back saying that the Radon levels in my apartment were higher than it…

Ive heard that Honeycomb on the Nook is still buggy. I would like to hit the road running with 2.3. I'm hoping that if and when Google releases Honeycomb source code, CM will release CM8 based on it! Plus Tegra2 will futureproof me for a bit.

I want to get something for my wife and i decided that the something would be a tablet. I narrowed down the choices to Nook, Viewsonic gTablet and the Archos 70. The reason for the choices are price point and the ease of getting Android 2.3. I want to essentially flash CyanogenMod 7 onto it. The gTablet looks like a…

Surely, you must have read all of Clarke's? Especially the Rama series?

Try Psybient or Goa Trance, especially, Ott, Entheogenic, Shpongle, Carbon Based Lifeforms, Younger Brother.

You are missing out supporting and encouraging indie app developers.

It's unfair that we don't stop to think when we buy a smartphone with its inflated data plans that run into hundreds, yet, we dilly dally, debate, weigh the pros and cons, chew the cud and ruminate whether the 99c for the ad-free version of a game is worth it or not. The way it works for me is that I download a free…

The...the...government cares about my problems? I...I...must be dreaming. Clearly, there is only one explanation - there is no air industry lobby.
