The Tales of Beedle the Bard

Read this in about 30 minutes. I found the foreword by Rowling to be quite lame. There are four new short stories. The fifth one is straight out of The Deathly Hallows book. The book’s aimed at a younger age group. Still it was quite enjoyable. But I read it with zero expectations! There are commentaries by Albus Dumbledore at the end of each tale and I found these to be more enjoyable than the tales themselves. All in all, an okay read.

My New Eye Glasses

I ordered a pair of glasses for $12.95 including S&H. Zero taxes. You need to stop visiting that brick and mortar optician shop right now and start buying eye glasses online. A good pair of glasses at your local shop will set you back by at least $70. I can’t wait for my new pair to arrive! The tentative wait time is two weeks (max).

Great initiative to show your anger against the system and to ask for change! Please be there if you are in Mumbai. I wish I were in Mumbai now.

this actually happened to me this June. I’m still waiting for my hair to grow back, so that I can get a decent cut. :( And it wasn’t that funny, really. I had a date that evening and almost canceled it.

Buy the Planet Earth DVD set from the Discovery Store for $24.99

I bought this because I know it will make a great present for someone this holiday season. I’m thinking the boyfriend’s parents, but I feel like it’s one of those gifts that really anyone could appreciate.

Bought this for only $14.50 (Incl. S&H)~ off Amazon a month back. Link.

Kevin Rose’s Pownce is dead.

Official message to users from co-founder Leah Culver:

We have some very big news today at Pownce. We will be closing the service and Mike and I, along with the Pownce technology, have joined Six Apart, the company behind such great blogging software as Movable Type, TypePad and Vox. We’re bittersweet about shutting down the service but we believe we’ll come back with something much better in 2009. We love the Pownce community and we will miss you all.

Pownce shuts down for good on Dec. 15th.

Wow. Interesting stuff. I guess it never took off. Twitter is the “big boss” when it comes to micro-blogging in less than 140 characters. I was at Pownce for sometime, but no one else was. Or at least, it seemed like no one else was using it. So I stopped using it too. It did have some cool features though, which Twitter lacks. But these are the features (or lack thereof) that make Twitter easier to use. And Pownce, more difficult.
