on travel technology, hacking and everything else
Worked on part of this logo recently for the Youth service Team of Madras (now known as Chennai). Am working on their website now. Hope to have it ready and uploaded before I go on vacation.
Back in Dubai for a very busy 2 days. Took the Emirates flight.
Now this happens too often to me, but usually with touch screen kiosks. I managed to reboot ICE, which is the in-flight entertainment system on Emirates. Looks like some kind of thin-client application and it took about 5 minutes to download to my screen.
Google has announced their first Gingerbread House Design Competition. Reminds me of the gingerbread house I photographed recently at the Courtyard Marriott in Sharq.
You need to use their SketchUp modelling tool. [Link]
My buddy Bejoy and myself have been wondering for the last month or so… playstation or xbox?
Alghanim has a great offer on the PS3 right now.
I was all for the WII a while back but realised the quality of the games are very poor compared to the competition. Also, of late I haven’t had much free time so whats the point of buying a PS3. But what do all you avid gamers think? And no, we don’t want to pick up both systems. Just one.
I’ve just started watching Crusoe on NBC.com. Its amazing. I like all the creative tribal inventions, gizmo’s and gadgets, especially that orange juicer.
Nice! This is the first easter egg I’ve seen in a web-based application.
Be aware while using toilets at Dubai Mall. “Please place your hand into the toilet” ??? Funny.
And NO, I didn’t.
Thanks Jayne for this link.
Simon’s Sister’s Dog has got his eye on one thing, and one thing only – food! And he doesn’t stop until he’s devoured every tit bit and scrap of dropped food from the Christmas dinner table and has reached bursting point.

Was watching the latest episode of Knight Rider online when I noticed the GT500KR label appear a few times. Looks like ford is using subliminal advertising to push their Shelby GT500. Hadn’t noticed it before. Maybe caz the net is so slow today. Has anyone in Kuwait got one of these babies?
The Twelve Days of Christmas, and the associated evenings of those twelve days (Twelve-tide), are the festive days beginning the evening of Christmas Day (December 25) through the morning of Epiphany (January 6). The associated evenings of the twelve days begin on the evening before the specified day. Thus, the first night of Christmas is December 25–26, and Twelfth Night is January 5–6. This period is also known as Christmastide.
