Cosmos a series by Carl Sagan

Thu, 29 Dec 2011 00:41:00 +0300

So I just completed the Cosmos series by Carl Sagan for the first time today and I’m drowning here with hope and deep sorrow simultaneously.

It is 31 years old but yet its message is still as enduring as it was back then. I can not eloquent describe how I feel about the show.

My mind wanders, and I feel that we as a species share a common hope for a grand future, but our disposition towards greed and conflict might cut our hopes & dreams short, perhaps too soon.

You may never know how significant a little act of kindness or word of encouragement may be to someone, but at least know that you have the ability to resonate the best of yourself unto others, and that should be enough.

Dennis Ritchie, the creator of everything Apple products are based on (C and UNIX) died without much fanfare last week. If Steve was the king of the front end and visible, Dennis was the king of the invisible underpinnings.

He was best known as the creator of the C programming language and a key developer of the UNIX operating system, and as co-author of the definitive book on C, The C Programming Language, commonly referred to as K&R (in reference to the authors Kernighan and Ritchie).

Dennis Ritchie was found dead on October 12, 2011 at the age of 70 at his home in Berkeley Heights, New Jersey. His death, which came a week after the death of Steve Jobs, did not receive as much media coverage.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

Wed, 17 Aug 2011 01:59:00 +0300

I have been playing with the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 since yesterday when it shipped and so far it’s been marvels.

Using it for over a day now has satisfied me that I made the right choice buying it instead of a different Android tablet or the iPad 2 altogether.

And by the looks of the market place there are plenty of App’s for Honeycomb out there. Plus it can also run App’s meant for the Android smart phones very well which opens a whole new world.

The tablet itself is incredibly light and well built. Its lighter then the Samsung book cover I bought for it.

Although I have been exploring the market place since yesterday for App’s I am pretty sure it’s going to take me from a few days to a week or two to settle in.

That’s all I have for now but if anyone has any recommendations for App’s feel free to share them.

It’s nice that #lastfm library services is back online. I was a bit worried after my entire library disappeared yesterday but they managed to get everything working again.

Plus it’s a good thing that I backed up my entire last.fm library just in case a month ago. As you never know when a disaster can strike.

“In our time… a man whose enemies are faceless bureaucrats almost never wins. It is our equivalent to the anger of the gods in ancient times. But those gods you must understand were far more imaginative than our tiny bureaucrats. They spoke from mountaintops not from tiny airless offices. They rode clouds. They were possessed of passion. They had voices and names. Six thousand years of civilization have brought us to this.”
