Guide to the Mind

One of my friends in blogosphere, sent me a link to an e book few days back. He claims that, this has to be the best psychological book that he has read. The book or rather e book is called: A Programmers Guide to the mind. I started reading it yesterday, and realized that my friend who sent me this link must either be seriously insane or a fiendishly clever person.

This e book is so difficult to interpret( personal opinion!) that I couldn’t read past the 3rd chapter. The complicated diagrams and the amount of thinking needed to digest the literature was too much for me. The guy who wrote it must have spent half his life conjuring the whole thing up. And the reader who patiently reads and actually comprehends the book has to be very very smart( or he has too much free time in his hands).

So, if you’re brave and patient and really want to unlock your the functioning of your mind, go ahead and read this.

Questions omnibus

I have certain questions nagging me, like an itch in the back at a place where our hands can’t reach. I better spill them out here in the open, so that by happenstance anybody who stumbles upon this blog( probability < 0.0009), might know the answers and would kindly post the replies in the comments.

Why did Kathy Sierra of the Creating Passionate Users stop blogging ? I know she was terrified of the whole “killer” comments incident. But come on, this is internet, and Internet according to my personal definition is 70% noise and 30% sensible signal. Why shut yourself up behind close doors, Kathy ?

Does anyone actually read my blog( except me ) ? I’m sure someone does, not that I am a great writer. I’m sure it’s my fault too, I don’t post regularly, my posts are random and don’t have a unifying theme; which brings me to my next question ?

What should be the unifying theme of my blog ? Should it be technical? Humor? Personal? or all of them ? Right now it’s sort of mish mash of all of these. Going forward, I promise to blog on a unifying theme which will, hopefully, improve my readership.

So, there it goes, folks. If you’re reading this and you know me, what’s your take on my questions ?

Facebook Rocks

After orkutting for over a year now, I’m hooked to Facebook. It is way cooler than Orkut can ever be. Infact after having merged the wordpress app with Facebook platform, I’m writing this post directly from Facebook site. Ain’t that hep?
My handle on Facebook is : Anup Jadhav. Do add me as your friend or send me a fish, perhaps?

Anyways, I just wrote this quick post to see if my Facebook – wordpress app works fine or not. Will write a sensible post next time.
