The IT worker of 2010 won't be a technology guru but rather a 'versatilist.'

This is what Computerworld thinks. A good and interesting read.

This one was very apt:)

This one is really funny - dilbert at its best.

Some soft techie posts

Blogger. n. Someone with nothing to say writing for someone with nothing to do.
He goes on to teach us about the The Art of the Layoff


Next up are the Ten Insane Ideas for Microsoft by jledgard

Another interesting post was this old one titled The Corporate Weblog Manifesto. I really like this one.

Finally Anil Dash speaks about Making Something Meaningful

NJoy.

Local Maximas are never a good idea - especially in urban planning

All of us know that Flyovers in Bangalore are a joke. For a more detailed example hop over to the MadMan's domain.

Turnips - a faux pas!?!

Check out Raoul's post for more. Personally I prefer eating potatoes:)

Google videos watched this weekend

The first video I watched was really really sick - I mean absolutely obnoxious - BIG WARNING - Do NOT Watch - the video is called PepsiGirl-Super Burp

Mario-Live - A MUST WATCh. The LIVE in the title does not refer to online(as in XBOX Live) Instead it actual means what it says - Live as in Alive. Check it out. Full marks for imagination and effort. Reminds one of the Ping Pong Matrix.

Football Skills One more compilation of football - well worth a watch in the present World Cup context.

Another MUST WATCH - a comedian showing dance styles froms th e60's to recent times - The Evolution of Dance

And finally got the chance to watch the trailer of The Inconvenient Truth.

Philipp Lenssen's list of 10 things you might not know about Google.

Of special relevance to me was his point 9 quoted below:

"9. Google comic book search.
While Google doesn't have its own comic book search engine, you can still achieve good results by going to Google Images, setting the file size to "Large images", and then searching for [comics]. Using this setting, you can also search for an artist's name, like ["john byrne"], ["john romita jr"], ["frank miller"] or ["daniel clowes"]. You might even have some fun adding your own speech bubbles to the comic book pages you find (use a free font like WebLetterer for best results)..."

Now to go over to google and try this.

"Raison d'être to Love British Summer"

A great "welcome to the summer" post by Piscean as he is happy with the advent of the British Summer.
Similarly Annon was quite thrilled with the advent of spring in the East coast of US. A philosophical day for him.
