Steve Yegge writes in The Pinocchio Problem ..I only permit myself about 4 hours a month for blogging. That’s been my rough budget for the past year or so..
Seth Godin writes in web4 ..The web changed my life. I can’t live without wikipedia or Google..
Kathy Sierra: Who’d you make smile today? : ..Crinkly eyes = real smile. No crinkly eyes? Faker. (or too much botox)..
Dear Kathy et al, please enjoy (with sound) an excerpt of Sri Sri Ravishankar’s public talk which contains “keep smiling come what may”

Marriott on the Move is the blog of Bill Marriott, Chairman & CEO of Marriott International. The book found in the hotel rooms – “The Spirit to Serve : Marriott’s Way” supposedly contains lots of messages
Scott Berkun: MLK, Technology and Inspiration : “if technology empowers people, where are the powerful, meaningful messages?” – my earlier idea of a weighted-average technorati most favorited blogs should help
svn: mark cuban on “the suit” my take: be context-sensitive.

tallgrassbakery.ca – If I were in Canada, I would visit them and also mention that TITLE is not set and clicking of the pdf on the left opens the pdf on the left bar and doesnot replace the whole page !
Also Kathy Sierra explains what comes after usability? which includes the “user hierarchy of needs” – “Enchantment is the seventh, but first a product or service needs to meet the first six: Fills a need, Does it effectively, East to learn, Efficient, User-friendly, and Intuitive.”

A very interesting conversation between a son and dad is More than a Rectangle and i look forward to similar ones with Mukesh
btw: found @ parenthacks.com: Getting organized: Start with your brain, sort of: Parent Hacks : ..Do something. Anything. That is my #1 advice, the thing that I have to keep reminding myself. The best plans in the world mean nothing if they remain plans. You’ve gotten nowhere if you don’t DO something toward your goal. If you can’t think of what to do next, then break the task up into smaller pieces. This is part of the Getting Things Done “next action” methodology. Ask yourself “What’s the next thing that I can do, right now?” and then do it..
in a year’s time, the dilemma might be: Treo 750v or Nokia N95 or iPhone

btw: People who work for the love of it are called Amateurs says Paul Graham in What Business can Learn from Open Source and The Age of the Amateur by the robotcoop is good too..
Sirena Huang on TEDTalks and Sir Ken Robinson on TEDTalks are highly recommended
Jon Udell has planted a very important seed with conceptual barriers : ..Patrick Phelan, a web developer I’ve corresponded with for years, reminded me the other day that my reluctance is strategic. With any framework, buy-in cuts two ways, and you should never take unnecessary dependencies..

The Edge Annual Question for 2007 is “What are you optimistic about? Why?”
Am very optimistic about the Indian Film Industry, because of Lage Raho Munna Bhai
Even if you have never watched an Indian movie, Watch this one
Even if you watched only one Indian movie and decided to never watch again, Watch this one
Others: Watch this
Any other recommendations ? [ Swades is a 2nd recommendation ]
(via TED Blog: What are you optimistic about?)
The 2006 question was What is your dangerous idea ? my answer:
1) sort-able (rate-able) del.icio.us
2) to do list with firefox bookmarks. It is good to read that Rob Campbell states “This is an interesting usage pattern for bookmarks.”
