Zeitgeist - new word added to my dictionary and mesee LIKES the word..kinda zennish feel to it..maybe if given a chance (all wannabe parents run) will name a kid Zeitgeist, Zei for short..at the risk of sounding whacko, have you ever felt words imply something even if you dont know the meaning of the word? Kinda a linguistic deja vu, complete with a sense of bewilderment at what it means...my RD (Reader's digest) guide to life claims that its all in your mind...for example, between the words "naked" and "nude" (i swear was reading RD :-) ) you'd tend to think that naked caught you by surprise, whereas nude seems to be done on purpose..get the drift? Anyways..just remember that between apples and peaches and cocoa (names parents gave kids they LOVE!!) zeitgeist isnt too bad :-)
anyways..midweek and quite a bit of interesting stuff i've been meaning to blog about..
Blinkx - a new desktop search tool. dunno if i've already blogged about this, but is real cool. so its basically a desktop tool that ya download and it runs in the background..kinda a small icon on the top right corner..and let's say you are typing a mail in outlook about..oh lets see, the new iPod?(i am NOT over it.i refuse to get over it)...the tool, if you loook it up, searches for info on that topic from news, internet, shopping as well as your computer for files that relates to it..is that cool or what? so you know wots the latest on the topic your mail is about, wot products relate to it, and wot your own computer has on it..methinks thats smtg every search engine should come out with (umm.they ARE)..sooon!
Btw..i am already over with my RSS feeder thingie (the one that collects news from all my fav websites to deliver to my desktop?)..history seems to totally repeat itself here in the social context...its like my mom could NEVER like reading news off websites (when she was here) and totally missed the touch n feel of newspapers.and now methinks in all my cyber glory, that i simply cannot just get all my news in one window, i need the click and navigation of an actual website..i swear to ya, the guy who invented the printing press is laughing up there (i KNOW who it is..some german fella..my age must be getting to me)..
ok..now for the piece de resistance of my blog..

Apparently the RNC is going great..heard swarmy arnie's speech on radio today in bits n pieces..and am beginning to believe more and more that India is setting examples in every way, every day...apart from the fact that U.S officials had to ask india on how they handled power cuts when NY had it a couple of years back...arnie might wanna take a leaf from rajnikanth's notebook on how to get crowds on their feet and going berserk over him..trust me..its already happening :-p
A true Rajnikanth fan,
