Mapping In India


Just came across this tidbit via labnol.org.


You can now get directions on Yahoo! Maps for India.


Granted it's not as detailed enough yet to give door to door, but as Amit says, it's a competitor to MapMyIndia. Competition means more features...hopefully!

Caligula goes Flash


It's 2007 and much like everything else from the 70's Caligula has gone from porntastic box office release to a pretty cool game - Viva Caligula.

The game is set in Caligula's Rome (around 39 AD) & Caligula's goal is to rid Rome of it's citizens and collect 26 different weapons spread out through different levels of the game. It is quite a gory game (not realistic 3D gore or Al Gore, just 2D gore) , a far cry from the early days of stick figure Flash games. Actually it's quite a bit more advanced than the original Prince of Persia that I love so much.

Check it out at your liesure or blow off some steam after your next meeting at the office!

1.205 times around the equator

That is how far I have driven in the MINI.


(If you can't see the picture, that's 30,000 miles*)

It's been a good ride so far and hopefully will continue to be!
