I have been regularly blogging on VLSI at The VLSI Homepage for about a month now. It’s lot more fun and interesting than I initially thought it would be - I am relearning some areas when I cover them on the blog and it keeps me updated on the current methodologies/practices in the industry.

While the traffic to the blog is miniscule, I was amused to see a Nirmal Sharma plagiarise couple of posts from my blog verbatim without acknowledging the source. Well, maybe he is not aware of analytical tools that can give you statistics of who links where and to what.

I recently stumbled upon squidoo, creating a lens through which visitors can view the world. A lens only points to content rather than store the content according to Seth Godin. I found a few lens impressive and informative like this one.

seventymm, an indian online video rental service - a la Netflix is doing well. It has close to 9000 subscribers and is scaling it’s services to other cities. It should be interesting to watch how successful the venture is in the coming year. Indians are big movie buffs but would they be willing to pay 500 Rs per month as service fees while regular video outlets charge 30 Rs per DVD?

Hermann Hesse’s Siddhartha was a good read, although too abstruse in parts. Iaccoca’s autobiography was colorful and astounding, I immensely enjoyed reading it. I have read a few excerpts of Seth Godin’s books, I am looking forward to getting my hands on Purple Cow. Made in Japan, Sony CEO Akio Morita’s autobiography is next on my list.

I like visiting other blogs.

Like this one.

I can't comprehend a word of what's in that blog.

Yet I like it.

Must be spanish.

Some corner of the world.

Pictures speak louder than words.

Wedding pictures.

Everyone's making merry.

Drinking, Dancing and Singing.

An elated couple dressed for the occasion.

Makes me happy.

Stirs emotions in anticipation.

R and I in ten days.

A couple in love with each other.

Living together, man and wife.

Ten more days.

End.
