Save Trees. Trees Save.

Simple yet profound.

While checking my mails today, I came across a forward which had quite a profound message being circulated - Save Trees! Its surprising how we have almost forgot about the importance of their existance.

Following is a brilliant Ad showcasing the cause :

Save Trees. Trees Save.

Some Gyan (was forced to read more about trees!)

* Did you know that each one of us requires 625 square feet surface area of greenery to produce our daily oxygen needs?

Ideas Guy

I am a huge fan of ideas ! (who isn’t?)

Some of my most ambrosial thoughts date back to the time when I used to sit with my colleagues at the Ad agency and brainstorm. It used to be an exhilarating experience. The amount of ideas being thrown one after the other would just leave me amazed. Its not that such a thing has stopped to happen now, its just that I don’t get to work on alternate businesses much.

Canadians: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.

Americans: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a collision.

Canadians: Negative. You will have to divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.

Cult Song for Gujjus !

The very mention of the title might bring to your memories the age old ‘garbo’ .. but I ain’t taking about garbas here .. this post is about a song which was sent to me almost an year back by one of my friends’ in the USA.

Who the hell says gujjus can’t ‘rape’ … oopz i meant rap !!

One more sloganizer fan

I was just glancing over my buddy Kedar’s new blog when I noticed he has done a pretty good job with Sloganizer … you can credit me for the inspiration though ! The reason behind this post .. Kedar just put a neat lil’ step by step tutorial on how to go about adding sloganizer to your own blog.

I was planning to do that sometime … but am glad he has done the work for me … go check out … Kedar’s post on sloganizer

Did a good job with his blog name too .. don’t believe he gave the entire history behind it though !

Before and After

After having a tough time trying to make the Image Browser work with Wordpress ver 2, I finally gave up and started looking for an alternative. After evaluating options which embed flash pictures, flickr pics, and much more … I finally got to learn about IImage browser. IImage browser is an enhanced verion of Image browser and does a pretty neat job at uploading pictures to your wordpress blog.

Following is basically a test of the plugin … coupla pics that I clicked back in Dubai .. where I got a new haircut .. have compiled a Before-After combo …

Sloganizer & wordpress plugins

One thing I really love about Wordpress is the control !

You can actually have a blog as you want it. And not just have the basic blog finetuned to your likings but you can also have a number of ‘pretty cool’ plugins to make your blogging experience much more easier and pleasureable. Having indulged in niche blogging previously, I used all the various plugins which have helped me over the months and put them into this specific blog. But this one has a bit extra .. What I had never used before was ‘Sloganizer’.
