Nice post! One that most of us can identify with; the 80s , whacko music, and fascination with imported stuff from the Gulf/US.

Congratulations! Some feat, given that I was feeling proud at having made (only) my 100th post recently. :-)

Re: The Best And Worst James Bond Films

Traveller — Mon, 20 Aug 2007 02:45:17 -0000

I am another fan of the Bond flicks, and unlike many have also read and enjoyed Ian Fleming's books (which are quite distinct from the movies). While I do like Sean Connery, I enjoyed Roger Moore in The Spy Who Loved Me (as a teen I loved all the gadgets and elaborate sets in this movie), and Pierce Brosnan in Golden Eye (which I agree has one of the best Bond girls too!). I was, like most other reviewers, impressed with the re-boot in Casino Royale. Particularly liked the way the movie ended. With "The name's Bond, James Bond" right at the very end.

Looks like they may have been 'real' after all. The pics are no longer there.

Ah, so there is someone other than me who's watching BSG now, on DVD. I loved Season One, but haven't been able to bring myself to get started on Season 2. Especially since you need to buy two different DVDs for the complete Season Two.

Very interesting! Also, when information was tightly regulated it was easier to keep track of the credibility of information than it is now. Thanks for sharing the review...

Well, well! Wont sell as well as the Bush pen-holder, but still... I would have had her smiling a little lesser (does she smile as brightly in real life?). :-)

Cool! I had decided to do a periodic round-up of blogs that I like, and this one sounds fun too. BTW, while I had heard of you/your blog in the blogworld, somehow I only read it some detail only now. Great blog! Expect to back here periodically now.

I actually found this list useful, especially #2 and #3. Thanks for sharing!

As for the video of the cow, heh, that hardly qualifis as a kiss! :-)

Heh! I like it, but don't think that will scale. :-)

I live in India, where everything ends up being recycled in the most interesting ways. I have seen old CDs being used as reflectors in auto-rickshaws (a three wheeled taxi), for example.

Re: Clearing the air

Phew! That's a relief to know. Is there anything safe now-a-days at all?

BTW, great blog! My first time here, but expect to return periodically.

Great pics! Chanced upon your blog today; enjoyed reading some of your posts...

Re: How to Make Money Stealing Other People’s Content*

Well, these views would be shared by lot of us. However, 'original reporting' involves research too.

Just as authors read other books, aggregate concepts, examples, etc. to build their new one (who really goes back to the last pages to find and read up the original material?), reporting today does the same thing: build upon other written material.

Unless it is a shameless copy (without too much value add), even making a 'boringly long' article 'pithy' is (IMHO) acceptable if the original article is credited.
