Ok... there are two reasons why I chose to embed the video below... one this is a new video advertisement idea developed by a company called Asterpix... second... its a cool video... ok back to the video ad idea ... As Techcrunch is reporting... you can draw a little box around an object and then click on it to see more information or an ad... cool!

This is hilarious.....

Ski Trip - Thredbo

7 Bridges Walk

So how long do you think 25 kms is? Not very long ... right... well that's what I thought as well when I signed up for it... I thought why the hell not ... I'll do something wicked... totally unexpected... totally unlike me... for a change one weekend... so I signed up for it. It actually turned out to be quuuuuiiiiiiiiiite long... took me just under 7 hours to finish it. Started off from the Pyrmont Park just before 9 and finished around 4. Luckily it wasn't too hot that day, so I survived :) But Paid for it the next day and the day after ;)
Anyways, it was for a good cause... I think I just might do it again...

My very first YouTube Video!

I know this is quite basic stuff - however, was playing around with the new iLife'08 and made this video in like under 15 minutes with just the stills from my Tasmania trip last year... I promise I'll do better next time!!!

What has Mark Webber gotten himself into this time?

I still remember when Mark Webber made his debut with the gd old Minardi back in 2001 (I think) at Albert Park... He showed so much promise... driving with the minnows he still managed a respectable 5th. Then he was on pole 2 once and even made it to the podium once in Monaco with Williams - And I thought to myself - here is a driver with some flair... he is not afraid to take risks and I'm sure given a good car he can be up there with the likes of Schumacher and Sena...

And then it all started - it was as if his career had taken a nose-dive. He probably had more DNFs than anyone else on the grid and looks like the trend has continued in 2007 season too.

However, I wonder sometimes if its the car or the driver who is to blame for it? Take this for example - he has probably had the same car as DC in 2007 but somehow he has managed to not finish the race every time? Is it his driving style or the car?

Grass root view of the MCG!


Grass root view of the MCG!
Originally uploaded by Flyboyfly!.
There is something magical about being at the MCG - Melbourne Cricket Ground... its second to the Lord's in London! Not many know that MCG is also home to the Melbourne Football Club (AFL).

AFL or Aussie Footy League refers to a code of rugby played only in Australia and is quite popular in Victoria, not so much elsewhere in Australia. Anyways, the story goes ... a long long long time ago a cricket coach got concerned about cricketers' fitness in winters because they didn't get to play any games... so he and some other visionaries sat down one winter afternoon and invented this game called AFL or Victoria Footy League as it was called in those days. So the cricketers would play cricket in summer and Footy in winters!

So... you learnt something new today :)

It's so beautiful up here - wonder whats it like from the ISS?

Sunset @ 38,000 ft sure looks amazing... I was flying home to India... and got upgraded to business class... and guess what there were hardly any people in the cabin... so could stretch out easily... anyways took out my camera and took some pictures...

I just love the colours in this pic... Sometimes I wonder if we really appreciate what we have on this planet... I mean where else would you be able to see amazing things such as this... does it look as pretty from the International Space Station too? Hello Houston... answer my question please!!!!
