Ipod Shuffle!

My Friend’s, Vibin & Satheesh, gifted me an Ipod shuffle for my birthday . it will be a good companion for me while im in Goa.

Im still a bit clumsy using it and even playing around with Itunes. But i should get used to it.

No Mails?

I just realised , that i havent got any postal mail for a very very long time. No greeting cards, no letters from families, or Friends from basically anywhere in the world. Initially i could blame it on EMAIL technology and say everyone is joining the “Age of Email”. But when i ran a search on my email client, i realised i dont get emails from anyone too ? :-(

If i look at my daily Inbox , i get like 45 geninue emails from work and things to do. 1 email from my wife. and rest 50 to 100 all spam. i dont get any more emails from friends or even families all over the world that say ” Hey Ray, how are you doing ? how is this or that”.

All i get is shorten lines,,, which say ” Hey Man, we got to get this up and running, there is this to buy, this to do.  Hmmmmph .. maybe its just me ! sigh!

Community Websites?

I have not been too keen, in participating in community based websites like orkut.com, hi5.com or even myspace.com. But my friends , got me interested in and even ended up helping me to register and use them. Now i have profiles on hi5 and orkut. Its quite interesting to find so many people , long lost friends and schoolmates. But now i have to manage 2 accounts, with some friends in orkut and some in hi5 and its difficult. i was wondering if there is one site to manage all of these. There are features in orkut , not available in Hi5 and vice versa.

Google has just purchased orkut , blogger & Youtube. i wonder whats in their mind for all this community sites. i hope they decide to combine all of it into 1 major community site.

Currently .. i manage this blog, and my friends wants to me to write discussions and articles on orkut too… i think i prefer to write here(on my blog), as it is open for everyone to read and doesnt require anyone to register or login.
