needlessly messianic articles written by ankur banerjee on anything that catches his fancy, which is quite a lot indeed - stuff like tech, quizzing, h2g2 - and cups of filthy liquid almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea

I wish there was an Indian website like Digg where I could digg gems like these.

Yahoo! Music Blog ยป Search, Click, Play, Hear Music.

Yahoo! Search has just added a new feature which allows you to listen to the full tracks of songs you search up on Yahoo! Search. This is within the expanded results it used to give earlier for certain searches - except that you can now hear the full song instead of samples. Which reinforces my point - if you use Y! Search you’ll find that it is pretty darn good and has features no other search engine has. This particular feature is very helpful for people interested in quizzing (like me), because at times I need to search up songs related to some movie for including in / preparing for a quiz, and I need to be able to listen to the track to see iof it’s the correct one. Best of all, the whole thing is legal (because of their tie-in with Rhapsody). The browser-based player they use is pretty darn nifty too.

Sergey Brin starts his own blog

Sergey Brin, the co-founder of Google, has started his own blog at too.blogspot.com. Owning the company which operates Blogger.com sure must be a great feeling, because then you can get any subdomain on Blogspot that you want. Here’s his first post:

Welcome to my personal blog. While Google is a play on googol, too is a play on the much smaller number - two. It also means “in addition”, as this blog reflects my life outside of work.

Wow. I needed this life-affirming statement real bad. Without getting to know the definition of ‘too’ from the founder of Google, how could anyone have gone ahead with their life?
