Happy thoughts..

Have had a busy sleepless week with all that is going on.

The outside weather and the blossoms are cheering me up to a great extent.

At first I was going to post a photo of the miserable baby with bruises around her eyes and a snotty nose! This was to use the wife/MIL's logic and reverse it.

I will explain!

if
< nice photos of baby >
then
< baby sick >

if
< bad photo of baby >
then
< baby healthy >

No ?

Since I am not in the IT field and my coding is rusty, pardon the syntax and just look at my logic!

Could not go through with it for two reasons.

1. Do not want any recollection of baby's current face. Makes me feel sad.
2. By doing this, I will only agree with the wife/MIL that their logic is good to start with.

So, all I will post is the macro shot of this flower. The real flower is the size of a quarter (or 5 rupee coin!). The S40 is 5 years old and gives me a E18 error and won't open the shutter half the time, but once it opens!! the pictures are still good..

Looks like my html is rusty too! had to go to this site to find out how to display the brackets !!!

Clever Marketing..

Most of you have seen Jr.'s sweeping craze in my previous posts..

The broom we got from India has started shedding, because Jr. has the habit of sweeping rough concrete with that broom! So everytime she is done brooming, we have to follow up with come vacuum cleaning.

She kept insisting we buy her a toy vacuum !! I did not even know if one existed, but obviously she had prior information about the existance of such a toy..

Last week we actually found the toy! You have to hand it to these guys. The thing looks real, runs on a battery and has the light and sound effects of the real Dirt Devil. I am sure they are more than making their revenue projections on the toy vac than on the real one !!

ps. I would have posted a pic or video of Jr. doing the vacuum. But recently the baby's sickness, accidental injuries as well as Jr.'s tantrums have all been statistically correlated to their pictures and video's appearing in the blog with a Karl Pearsons coefficient of 9.99 x10^-7. Most statisticians would argue that it isn't much of a correlation and they are independent events, but then if you multiply this coefficient with the weight factor for the wife/MIL (which is around a million, compared to the weight factor for me, which hovers at <1.0), the picture changes quite dramatically. So dramatic, that it might shut down the blog, again. So, I will have to stay content with talking about Sun TV programming, Chennai news, etc. for the time being.

pps. Saw Vadivelu as spiderman in the "Vyapari" movie review on Sun TV. He is indeed funny!! Hats off to Vadivelu!

No surprises here ?

Happened to see Shark's site. The Nerd meter on the sidebar immediately caught my attention.

I took the test. The funny thing is that one of the questions what "how nerdy do you think you are ?". I expected 75%. I was surprised by the result!!

I guess my perception of the average persons nerdiness is wrong, or my estimate of myself is way off!!
