Lalit JinaNovember 21 Fun Wikipedia gameSurfing wikipedia the other day, I thought of this game. Given a page on wikipedia, get to another page with the minimum number of clicks. e.g from the page on Mozart get to the page of Landing on the Moon with minimum number of clicks This is what I did to get the link Mozart to Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov to Russian Language to Soviet Union to United States to Landing on the moon I am sure someone can find a shorter path and also come up with more interesting links between different pages September 05 Cougar rock in Mt Rainier National ParkThis was the second time in Mt Rainier National Park in 3 weeks. I cannot get enough of it. Each time I see it, I see something different, more awe inspiring. Some pictures

about a boy and his little sister during the second world war in Japan
. Their father is off fighting in the navy and they lose their mother
during an air raid. Sata (the boy) and Satsuko (his sister) then suffer
lack of love from their aunt. Sata has the impractical pride that
teenage boys usually have and takes off with his sister to live in an
abandonded air-raid shelter. There the two suffer from disease and malnourishment. Its very touching to see the boy go any lengths to save his little sister. Satsuko eventually dies for the lack of food. The boy then learns about the death of his father. Sata finally perishes at a railway station. This is one of the most sad and depressing movies I have ever seen. It has the detailed scenes and the emotions associated with studio ghibili movies. The scene of the kids getting fireflies in to get some light in the night is very beautiful and touching. Although the movie does not have many happy scenes, I would still recommend this movie as a must see for the story and the animation. January 02 Your own projector from old LCDsThis article on tomshardware describes how you can build a great projector from an old TFT. http://www6.tomshardware.com/howto/20041201/index.html Although the result is nothing outstanding, the result is still usable and has decent colour and contrast and clarity. Apart from this the whole thing only costs about $300 and has the fun and excitement of a DIY project. Tom has even put up a video describing the whole project. http://www12.tomshardware.com/images/thg_video_13_diy_beamer.zip (divx)
December 19 The super spicy ordealReturned from a whirlwind tour of the north (5 places/9 homes in 10 days) the day before. Gathered a bunch of friends and went to my undergrad school to refresh my old memories. The best part of the visit was the famous 'misal' at the nearby railway station. This delicacy has no meat. It is a soup with white peas,chick pea flour noodles, boiled potatoes, freshly chopped onions and yes, lots and lots or red chilly powder (my mouth is already watering describing this). While eating it, both your mouth and eyes water. Mouth for the taste and eyes for the super hot spice. test
