Greetings! In today's world, anything without an "i" as a prefix, hasn't got much value to it. The _ahambhaavam_ (sense of I – ego) has an altogether different meaning these days. It's all about whether you possess a coveted iDevice or not and if you don't, or if you are even remotely nonchalant about its existence in your neighbour's pocket, you'll be looked down with disdain. It's hard to not be amused about how cellphone companies cash in on people's ignorance and thrust on them, pieces of silicon with a highly polished LCD screen. Furthermore, you'll have to shell out thousands every month, just for some sparingly genuine usage of mail and the exceedingly trash talk on facebook and the like. And before I proceed, this shall be applicable to all you android junkies, windows phone wizards, blackberry bosses, bada brigadiers and any other smartphone user. Also, a piece of word to people who know me. If you think this is a case of sour grapes just because I lost my iPod Touch and am scared as hell to get another device, then, in a way, you're right; but I'm happy that I found it out early and through the hard way that I don't need a smartphone in my life, at least for now! 🙂 It is a bit annoying and sad to see people deluded into getting smartphones mainly because his next cabin mate has got one!

So, I was musing about what to blog next and had this idea of posting all the utilities/programs/services I frequently use and of course thank the person who influenced me with the software. I'm rather obsessed with many of these tools and if you think a tool you use is better than what I use, ping me @borncrusader at twitter or identi.ca 🙂 We'll debate about it and possibly I'll learn about the tool you use too. 😛

I've always been an active supporter of Flash and ActionScript and loved to develop interesting animations through Flash and AS2.0.

I've always wondered how people find time to blog. Now, I've devised an excellent idea that would inspire me to blog daily. The idea is to list the sites that I visit daily. As I wade through the Internet, I come across many exciting and interesting sites. From today, I'm going to list them.
