Hardware design by BMW

I read that a certain design wing of BMW is responsible for the curvy black
and white design for my Acer Gemstone series laptop.
Ogle away, folks :D

Macbook’s got nothing on this baby. (yes, its flamebait, I know)

echo Nokia E51 > wishlist

1/06/2008

One magnificently engineered telecommunications device.

A classic Nokia with all the attributes that made ‘Nokia‘ synonymous with ‘cell phone‘, several years ago when I was just a kid.

Great battery life, excellent reception, a tactile keypad that’s a joy to use, and all the rest of the ‘features’ that today’s kids take for granted. This is not the mobile-camera for shutter-bugs or morons who cant tell a phone from a camera or an mp3 player. Its a true blue phone. It doesn’t hurt that it has a lot of Blackberry-esque features from its E-series pedigree. And the integrated Wi-Fi is something that no other vendor offers at this price point or this size. (can Blackberry or SE beat the 12mm thickness?) :D

The complete specs are available here [GSMarena]

Unfortunately, I’m still saving up for this baby.

on Blogging : A Prologue

17/05/2008

um… er…

That’s just it.

This is the exact same thought process that goes thru my mind, any time I hit compose Post on any blogging/CMS platform. I’m not exactly an established writer or any kind of writer by a long shot. So, I can’t really bitch about having chronic ‘Writer’s Block’.

However, what I seem to be extraordinarily verbose about, is doing this woe-is-me routine upon not being able to do something. UNIX error messages anyone?. i.e No output if everything goes A-Ok.

So with a little creative captioning and a nice dark n moody WordPress theme, the adventure begins all over again. I have no clue what I’m going to write about in here. I expect i’ll write more of these bitch-about-how-my-life-sucks-but-nah-not-really kind of posts, that anyone but myself will loathe reading a few months from now. C’mon Who doesn’t love a secret(not) diary?

Composing my thoughts and arguments into a structured format is something that I aim to learn from this endeavour. I want to make mistakes and I want the whole world to point them out to me.

Do I sound like a masochist just now? Well, that can’t be helped. I have a wee bit of all the various kinds of neuroses. Pick one. Bring it on…
