At TEDIndia, Pranav Mistry demos several tools that help the physical world interact with the world of data — including a deep look at his SixthSense device and a new, paradigm-shifting paper “laptop.” In an onstage Q&A, Mistry says he’ll open-source the software behind SixthSense, to open its possibilities to all.
Great Technology – Must Watch

The Digital Economy Bill plans to disconnect people from the internet if they’ve merely been accused of filesharing, or if anyone sharing their connection has been so accused. This is a breach of our human rights, and must be opposed.

No-one should be disconnected from the internet or otherwise punished for illegal filesharing unless they’ve been found guilty in a criminal court. Nor should anyone be punished merely for sharing a connection with an illegal filesharer; collective punishment is an infringement of human rights, and a war crime.

Normally, politicians care more about vested corporate interests than they do about mere citizens, but we’re lucky in the timing of this, because there has to be a general election within the next 8 months. There are roughly 7 million filesharers in the UK; if we all make our voice heard, they have to care what we think, at least until the election is over.

lIf you want to fight this unjust law, join the group, invite all your friends to join, and publicise it on your blog or website.

Thanuvu Nadidigogai – Andhra Kraistava Keerthanalu.
Mangamuri Devadas ( -1960)

This hymn calls for the consecration of our bodies to His service. The video is a tribute to the selfless sacrifices of the many missionaries who have toiled for the spread of the gospel in the Telugu region.
Translation of first line – Here is my body, use it for thy glory.

I am so excited about Google Wave – cant wait to get my hands dirty on sand box
