It has taken me almost a decade to find something I like and specialize in: HCI. Guess it could be another 10 yrs before I gain expertise :)
I am a HCI graduate student from UBC with 6 years of programming experience looking for a UX/VA/Infoviz job. http://t.co/ApLwxhs5 #twesume
#Google strikes again. Inconsiderate move results in loss of user data. Should move personal data away from big corps http://t.co/T5PuUyA8
"I have seen thee as the half-awakened child sees his mother in the dusk of the dawn and then smiles and sleeps again." -Stray birds, Tagore
"Man goes into the noisy crowd to drown his own clamour of silence." - 'Stray birds' by Rabindranath Tagore. Reminds me of the facebook gen
"In death the many becomes one; in life the one becomes many. Religion will be one when God is dead." - 'Stray birds' by Rabindranath Tagore
"Chastity is a wealth that comes from abundance of love." - from 'Stray birds' by Rabindranath Tagore. Agreed, not an easy one to understand
Excerpts: Bill Gates on politics, education, and why his burger is same as yours - GeekWire - http://www.geekwire.com/2011...
Several good points (even though I hate the guts of the org he founded and several of the ultra-competitive moves he took - which continues till day by his successors e.g. milking in form of android patents).

Coding Horror: On Parenthood - http://www.codinghorror.com/blog...
Spot on reflection on parenting. I used to think that if the process of making a child wasn't so attractive most people would be scared out of it (which would be a good thing in terms of population btw). (Thanks Sujai antony).

Celebrating Deepawali - in India vs Abroad - http://tambrahmrage.tumblr.com/post...
So True, its funny. Missed the festive spirit - crackers & sweets alone don't do it. I guess its difficult to understand all the jokes in the 'In India' column if u didn't grow up in India. (Thanks Sujai antony).

This is exciting. I am glad that he didn't return to Apple to continue making entertainment gadgets. I would love to work in something like this tech + environment.

Parsing the Data and Ideology of the We Are 99% Tumblr - http://rortybomb.wordpress.com/2011...
"Upon reflection, it is very obvious where the problems are. There’s no universal health care to handle the randomness of poor health. There’s no free higher education to allow people to develop their skills outside the logic and relations of indentured servitude. Our bankruptcy code has been rewritten by the top 1% when instead, it needs to be a defense against their need to shove inequality-driven debt at populations. And finally, there’s no basic income guaranteed to each citizen to keep poverty and poor circumstances at bay. We have piecemeal, leaky versions of each of these in our current liberal social safety net. Having collated all these responses, I think completing these projects should be the ultimate goal of the 99%."

Reasons to Fear Canada - http://news.icanhascheezburger.com/2011...
Comments are funnier than the OP, e.g “Canada could have had British culture, American technical know-how, and French cuisine. What they got was American culture, French technical know-how, and British ‘cuisine.’”
