BlogCamp Humour: Evil FothaMuckas @ Blogcamp
Nilu, Anand, Ravages and me. And yeah, there’s Neha too. I am not gonna say who is Nilu because I know quite a few of you will crop his face, print it out, and do unmentionable things to it. I have never seen so much compassion and love oozing out of a single guy as Nilu. Gosh! I wanna cry now. On Saturday evening at the beachhouse, there was this particular fellow that was hitting on Ravages. And how? By asking Ravages 48 times within half hour, ‘did you have dinner?’ The dude was pissed drunk and displayed amazing grit in logging on to Ravages.
At the 49th time, Ravages lost it and told the guy ‘WTF man? Go get a life.’
And a blanket of silence swooped in on us. We could hear More...
Every blog has its day
Chenthil has passed the judgment. Kribs does not deserve to be a top blogger. Senthil said “He does run marathons, he does organise blog meets, agreed. And he did organise a donation drive after the Tsunami. But that doesn’t make him a great blogger.” All right, so tell us dude, what makes a great blogger? By trying to debunk the myth about Kribs you have actually made him more popular.
I am not a big fan of Kribs’ writing. But, he has other enviable skills. He is a great PR man. He has tremendous energy. He runs marathons.

All right, he does goof up every once in a while More...

Hit your kid to punish your enemy
When I was in sixth class, a Chettiar family lived next door. Husband, wife, and a kid. He was a bright kid all right, but he was always nervous. The kid’s mother fought with everyone: the ghee vendor, the newspaper guy, the neighbors, her husband, the ration shop clerk… and she always vented her anger by beating the sh*t out of her kid. what aachi, where is the payment? It’s been two months!’ The ghee vendor would scream, standing outside her door.She would storm into her house, a mighty frown creasing her turmeric laden face. The kid would be sleeping, as he would be tired after eight hours of school. She would drag the frail boy out. Make him take off his shirt and she would start slapping him (sometimes she used a cane too) all over his dark, More...
Blogspot back on air
Phew! Thank god. Someone, somewhere must have realized they pulled the wrong plug. But look at what we did within a few hours!
Question to cosmos
Is blogspot down? (has it been compromised by a hacker? Or, has Google decided to kill its darlings? Or is it just me?)
Dell Starts Blogging
Robert Scoble says: [quote]By the way, I agree with Andy Lark that we should be nicer to new companies that try the bloggy Web. At least give them a couple of weeks to get settled into their new homes before we start lobbing rocks through their front windows. Of course, I doubt anyone will listen to me because these companies came into the bloggy Web so late that the mob isn’t gonna automatically be nice the way they were to me three years ago.[unquote]
I disagree. Come on! We are not talking of blogging by a primary school teacher from a remote village. We are talking about a technology leader.
