Attention ???

Came across a nice blog post "Watch and You Will Know" (Attention and Appreciation!!)

Dave Pollard writes in the context of cultural anthropolgy :

I think what most of us want, male and female, human and other, is attention and appreciation. Everything else is derivative of those two things.

It's really all about attention, and paying attention. The attention we pay to others, and that others pay to us, defines us, far more than our appearance or our name. And how can we appreciate what someone (a life partner, a business partner, a customer, an employee, a friend, a foe) is about and has to offer unless and until we pay attention to her, really listen and observe with (as much as is humanly possible) no judgement, no personal filters or frames impeding. And once weve paid enough attention that we really understand that person (or for that matter, that creature of any species), how can we not appreciate her?
...

Things are the way they are for a reason. Watch, listen, observe, pay attention, and you will know that reason. Most genius, most innovation, most emotion, I am convinced, stems from this 'first-hand' knowledge.

This is the skill, more than any other, that I need to learn.

masters !



Lara: masterclass

>> It was the "Brian Lara" show all the way at the Adelaide Oval, as he uncorked an innings of stunning class and vintage majesty on the opening day of the Adelaide Oval. His eighth double-century - an unbeaten 202, took him past 11,000 Test runs. and left him just 12 runs away from breaking Allan Border's record for the highest aggregate in Test cricket.

He and Australia's Allan Border are the only players in the history of the game to reach the mark 11,000 Test runs.

>> "Sachin Tendulkar" is poised to become one-day cricket's most-capped player when he plays his 357th ODI against South Africa at Kolkata. He surpasses Wasim Akram who has played 356 ODIs. Cricinfo takes a look at Tendulkar's milestones over the years. (Update : Jus' scored 2 (15))

Mosquito-Fi !!

Mosquito
Mosquito catching over Wi-Fi
: The story is a little bit more excited than the reality behind it. The leading manufacturing of automated mosquito-catching devices plans to build a smart network that communicates with 802.11b with a central server that can report changing wind conditions, hardware failures, and conditions unfavorable to mosquito sucking. It?s a vacuum cleaner that omits odors attractive to mosquitos. A note of sanity is cast in the last paragraphs of the story against the $15 million funding the company developing the technology received: better to kill mosquitoes before they breed!

TinyDisk

TinyDisk, a complete, shared filesystem built on to of TinyURL. TinyDisk is a program from saving and retrieving files from TinyURL and TinyURL-like services such as Nanourl. It overlays a write-once-read-many anonymous, persistent and globally shared filesystem. Once something is uploaded, only the database admin can delete it. Everyone can read it. No one can know who created it. Think of it as a magical CD-R that gets burned and placed on a network.

If you're not familiar with TinyURL, it's a URL mapping service that let's you create a small, easily emailed URL to replace a long complicated one.

TinyDisk is a demonstration by Acidus. TinyDisk shows that anything that stores anything on the Web can be used to store something else by encoding the something else into the Web-based storage system. In the case of TinyDisk, it's a Web-based file system that slices up a file, encrypts it, and stores it out on TinyURL
