History in the Making
Posted at 07:50 PM on June 7, 2009 in General.
I am watching in joy as Federer is inching towards that famous French win which was eluding him for so long... Will update after seeing him raise the cup.
Yeah.. there it is, after losing 3 finals to Nadal. I am a big Federer fan, but I have a feeling that it would have been extremely difficult if Nadal had played again (though Federer bet him in at his own den recently). All thanks to Solderling for ousting Nadal.

Wii @ E3
Posted at 12:41 PM on June 5, 2009 in Gaming.
Nintendo did have some surprises for Wii in the annual E3 expo on June 2nd 2009. The announcements of interest are
- Wii Sports Resort will ship in June (was actually announced on E3 2008)
- Wii Vitality Sensor (attachment to Wiimote that can sense your pulses)
- Wii Fit Plus (Sequel to Wii Fit - an exercise + game to keep you healthy)
- Super Mario Galaxy 2 (a sequel to the great SMG)
- New Super Mario Bros. Wii (3D multiplayer adventure of the classis 2D)
- Metroid: The other M (The next metroid)
- A new Zelda (not before 2010)
So it was a good E3 from Nintendo at least for me and am happy about things are going for the Wii.

Sushi-go-Round

I have always been a fan of quality flash games (apart from being a fan of PC games and that too apart from my regular duty of being fan of Wii games). When I first checked this one out, I was like 'May not be worth it..' and boy was I wrong. The game kept me busy for quite some time, each time someone interrupting me and killing my progress (of course at home). There is no save option unlike other games and hence it took me longer than usual to beat it. It became addictive and fun. You can play it without any annoying ads in my other site (meant to be for games in the long run).

Now there is that Gem Craft to be won... Sigh so many games so little time.

Build your vocabulary
Posted at 11:32 AM on May 27, 2009 in General.
Remember those days when you tried building your vocabulary for those exams. There were some students from my class who would sit with a big thesarus (some even with a dictionary) and go through the list of words arduously. There were another bunch of students who would try to use the words that they learned that day and cause a lot of annoyance to others. The best of the lot were those who were always memorising some lists and if you were by mistake talk to them they give a look which just means 'Get out of here'. But you could forgive them as it was such a horrible fight to clear the GRE/GMAT exams.
Coming to the present, I came across this vocabulary software that looked promising. You could give it a try. It has the usual approach of having the words ingrained inside your brain but also adds up spice by having games and other innovative methods to get the thing done. So all GRE/GMAT aspirants, you now have one more and definitely better method for preparing for those exams. It is claimed that it is the best in what it does for years. But I can vouch that it is definitely the most exciting method that I have seen.

Wii Cricket Confirmed
Posted at 08:57 AM on May 20, 2009 in Gaming.
Finally, the wait is over for cricket fans of Wii, the one game machine best suited for the sport. Code masters have anounced that Wii will have cricket before end of 2009 with Xbox, PS3 and PC getting it first. That alone can make this year beautiful.

Getting that ideal name for your domain
Posted at 11:43 AM on May 18, 2009 in General.
Often times it becomes a great task to search for domain names that are as yet unregistered and which also matches with your requirement. There is a site http://aptname.com/ to help you exactly with this. As you enter the words that you might want to have in your domain, this site searches for all comibnations of those words and provides you with the details of all the domain names that are available for registration. You also get to choose various options like domain extensions (.com, .net, .org etc), prefix, suffix and if you want 2, 3 word comibnations (with or without hyphenation). I checked this site for my upcoming project on student campus interview help and it turned out a good number of domain names that I could choose from. All in all a very helpful site. highly recommended.
