IPhone: A To-Do List for Steve Jobs

Browsing today brought my attention to this website, which is an official looking site for Apple. I myself am holding out for IPhone Version 3 and as such the simple application let downs and camera would need to be fixed for me.

The pleasefixtheiphone.com site let's iPhone owners, or anyone else, list and vote on the features that most need fixing on the iPhone.

The Top 3 user generated next fixes are:

(1) Copy and Paste
(2) Landscape view for emails
(3) View flash in Safari

The more votes a feature has, the higher in the ranks this would be. So go onto the site and vote for your favorite feature...and who knows...Steve might be listening.

Madhu Chamarty - Three Wise Men

Here's an ode to three wise men I know,
Each so decorated, with much to bestow
What brought them to me? Chance, perhaps fate?
Many a good quality, they encapsulate

First there was the quiet one, stoic & simple,
Imparting wisdom as a matter of principle,
Brevity, intellect, but seemingly aloof;
I used to wonder, why no thought, no debate,
Then it dawned on me:
In matters of the heart, his word was most accurate

Then the stern one, open and fun,
With many a fair friend and advice unexplained,
Tough to perceive, caring with some restraint,
Then it dawned on me:
What he says is seldom faint

Finally the buoyant one, a friend to everyone,
Pleasant, effervescent, but an open book to none,
Crossing stages, reinforcing learning (yes, quite)
Like brothers in arms marching through philosophical fields,
Then it dawned on me:
Emotional mines we unsealed, imbibing all that introspection yields

Thus I carry on, amidst winds of change,
On the shoulders of giants, with collective strength in range,
Calmer, wiser, aware and "on the way";
We may part ways, each with a different sway
But in my memory these three wise men will remain always

Pablo Neruda - "XVII - I do not love you..."

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way

than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

by Pablo Neruda.

Poetry that inspires me...

I have gained a new love of poetry over the past few years and i will start posting them here so that everyone can enjoy them also. I like the idea of words that are able to create such emotion within oneself.

Guy Kawasaki - LinkedIn Tips

I recently found and extensively make use of the professional network site Linked In. It is a fantastic place where you can connect with so many colleagues and professionals.

In the process of setting up My Linked In profile, I came across another interesting article from Guy Kawasaki with tips to improve and utilise Linked In to get the best visibility online.

Some tips from Guy's Blog Post are:

(1) Obviously increase your visibility with more connections
(2) Improve your connectability by essentially replicating a CV in the Linked In site
(3) Improve your Google Search Rank - Linked In is highly ranked in Google, so if you have a public profile with full view, then you are ranked highly by the Google engine.

and so on...

If anyone want to connect with me, please use my LinkedIn public profile, which I belive is the easiest way to do so.
