I’m working on a new feature for the blog, at present, that will automatically record everything interesting that I do (heh, well, that feature is easy, since I don’t really do anything all that interesting) and catalogue my thoughts. Heh. Unfortunately, this feature is dependent on the Easy Button, which Meekyung and William keep promising, but, like Duke Nukem Forever, never manage to produce. =)

So I guess I’ll stick to doing things the old fashioned way, for now.

Today was my last day at Parikrma– bittersweet, of course, but the staff and school gave me an exceptionally warm send-off.

My bags are almost packed. It’s a tight squeeze.

Um. Random thought:

I, for one, applaud Google for their launch of www.google.cn– the so called “emasculated” version of Google that meets the Chinese government’s standards of censorship. Apparently, I lot of people seem to think that Google is the ACLU, or some sort of international human-rights bastion. It’s not. Google is a search engine– a tool that allows individuals to use the internet, and use it effectively and efficiently. By providing a Chinese version of their search services, Google is extending this service to million of Chinese internet users.

Besides, it’s not so bad. A search for “overthrow the chinese government” returned 963,000 results. Granted, that’s ~200,000 less than Google.com’s 1,180,000 results, but that’s still almost a million more results than Yahoo’s www.yahoo.com.cn’s 5,090 results for the same. =)
