I managed to pickup a set of better looking wheels for the BMW 2002 this afternoon. These will look a lot better than the old school wheels that are on there now. Though these wheels look huge, they’re only 13″ and are original on 2002s — I won’t be “Pimpin’ My Ride.” The electrical was [...]

I am determined to visit Wagha, the Indian border town that meets Pakistan, on my next visit to India. It’s a great opportunity to visit Amritsar, about 30km away, which is home to the Golden Temple, a Sikh holy site.
Everyday at 4:30PM guards on both sides of the border perform shadowed goosestepping (bizarrely exaggerated) in [...]
I’m obsessed with North Korea as a subject of academic study. And breakdancing.

I received an email from the engineers on my team in India that ISPs have started allowing access to the blocked typepad.com and blogspot.com domains after the Bombay attacks. Apparently, they weren’t able to selectively block certain blogs (for whatever reason), but have realized how insanely ineffective it was to attempt to block anything at [...]
Had a great time putting this podcast together. I gathered the tracks over the course of the past couple of weeks as I encountered new records and old favorites. If there was a quasi-theme to be had, it has to be surrounding super-groups.Bally Sagoo’s “Bollywood Flashback” helped connect the tracks this time around.
Here’s [...]
Before I left for India several months ago, a close friend of mine was giving away his 50’s era Motorola turntable/radio since they were moving to North Carolina. Being the vinyl junkie that I have become, I gladly accepted it though the turntable wasn’t working at the time. Very soon afterwards, I hauled [...]
I should start a blog called “Khosla Watch” because it appears that I have a man crush. I said appears. Some of the handwritten notes in the article entited “What Makes Entrepreneurs Entrepreneurial” are priceless. Priceless gems such as “typical MBA horseshit” in reference to a suicide quadrant and then “commie horseshit” marks an entire [...]
Thanks to all those people who emailed or called asking if we had any relatives who were affected by the attacks in Bombay. I don’t have immediate relatives there, but I have plenty of distributed family members living in the area. None were directly involved in the train bombings, but they will surely [...]
I have been reading Andy’s “Gone Living” blog for a few months now. He left his job at Yahoo (I think?) and is travelling the world. He has been and is going to all sorts of exotic places. What an adventure! Here’s his itinerary.

I had a great time putting together this podcast. Luckily, I wasn’t recording nor was anyone else listening as I was singing at the top of my lungs while I was playing these tracks. The dog seemed a little uncomfortable though. The Sublime Frequencies record entitled “Princess Nicotine: Folk And Pop Music [...]
Business 2.0 put out their list of “The 50 people who matter now,” but they failed to mention Joe Tucci, CEO Of EMC, while including a bunch of other semi-important tech people in my opinion. And I don’t have that opinion from simply having worked for EMC. He’s on a warpath, determined to build a [...]
The final coat of paint went onto the ‘02 while I was in India. It needs to be buffed once or twice before the exterior is complete. There are a few interior rust spots that need to be fixed as well before the new carpet gets installed. Afterwards, there won’t be a [...]
