We’re not here to tell you how to run your life when it comes to exercise, but just a minute or two a day can make all the difference.

btw

  1. Jonathan Safran Foer’s Eating Animals Turned Me ( Natalie Portman ) Vegan , Natalie Portman reinforces stereotypes about loony veggies by ‘equating meat-eating with rape’
  2. SAP India president Ranjan Das passes away – From The Mission – This is no boxing match, kid. There’s no referee to stop the fight. You throw in as many punches as possible before they finish your game.
  3. HFMD came home!!!

Do Something

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

For the first time in human history, the number of hungry people worldwide will exceed 1 billion this year

There are also a billion online users today (including you) able to help like never before! Let’s make a difference!

Due to an unpostponable appointment, I will miss The Singapore Launch of Gurcharan Das’ magnum opus The Difficulty of Being Good: On the subtle art of Dharma

From wikipedia

You need two things: you must have the hunger for success and the desperation to achieve it. It’s as if your life won’t be complete until you succeed. That fundamental discontent has to be there. Got it?

In life, action is more important than thought

Wishlist for A Stunning ToDo List 2Do from @guidedways

  1. bug !? – “Show Done in ToDos” is OFF. Done is also not shown in the “Done” view
  2. Sorting Options: new “Alarm Time” – Why.. When there are many in 1 day, by due date is not useful!
  3. Let me sequence items within a calendar like the calendar sequence because priority is relative (The Taste of the Day)
  4. Badge counter – More options – Settings in calendar to include in count
  5. Like Today, provide an option to see Tomm or “Next 3 days” etc – Also, make it possible to move from today to Tomm and v-v
  6. move or replicate “Show Done in ToDos” from App Settings to Calendar Settings – Calendar settings could have a Yes/No/NA and take precedence over the App Settings
  7. Remove use of Reset in screens. Use Cancel only
  8. When I press Reset (again and again), take me to ToDo overview
  9. web based sync (and item creation) like Simplenote
  10. Etc: tweets from @_everaldo, @t87, @gadgetero

The cost of happy citizenship

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

Over the weekend, I came across a tool to measure soil at Ground-Up Initiative

4-Way Analyzer for Soil

It seems to be a rapitest® Electronic 4-Way Analyzer

facebook is developing something similar for people..

facebook blog: How Happy Are We?

How happy will all of us be tomorrow, on our birthdays or during the World Cup? It depends on you and what you decide to share about how you’re feeling with your friends through your status updates.

me: If a tree falls in the woods and there is no one there to hear it, is there a sound at all…

Web Standards Group Singapore: Summary of Gov 2.0 Presentation

citizen defined : anyone who has thrown their lot in with us

People who look at Singapore simply as a stepping stone or springboard need not apply.

we all need to see that ultimately, a country is defined not by efficiency of governance, but the quality of her people.

me: nominate this article for ica.gov.sg

eaves.ca: closed border, closed economy, closing opportunities

me: mmm…

A closed border is like a closed mind – over time you become less receptive to new ideas or information and begin to atrophy

change.org : Changemakers

The Changemakers initiative aims to identify the leading activists, elected officials, authors, bloggers, actors and thought leaders who have the greatest capacity to spark change on issues of importance.
