and you thought your life involved crazed levels of multitasking. This guy, Ravi Jain, is shooting a weekly video blog from the driver’s seat of his car during his daily commutes between Jamaica Plains and Allston, MA (a.k.a. “five hours of ’studio time’”). He has guests on (who are bumming rides), and when his wife commutes with him, they do a “Regis and Kelly” type show (or at least that’s how Ravi fancies it), with some “marital banter to start the show” (oh joy!).

(the scary part!).. turns out.. not so scary in his eyes… which made me almost cry over my miso soup.

The following email exchange is beyond funny … I consider it to be the 2005, Indian version of “All Your Base” – with a dash of Office Space thrown in for good measure.

Bellow is Secret Letters exchanged between Mr. Rishi Chadha CEO Sentient Infotech Pvt. (www.sipl.co.in, www.sentientinfotech.com) also known as Sentient Solutions Inc (www.sentsol.com) And Ex-Employee Sanjeev Upadhyay.
Sentient which proclaim itself as Game Developer with 60 resources (check www.sentsol.com/about.html), from this email it seems that they have left with only 10 people and Mr. Rishi Chadha (Son of R. K. Chadha — Rajinder Kumar Chadha who is Managing Director/ MD in the Sentient Infotech Pvt. Ltd.) is lier.

This mockumentary about GW Bush’s “Presidential Speechalist” is a real hoot.
From the video:
“You have to understand one thing about the American people. They are not interested in a politician that speaks smoothly or insists on using ‘real words.’”

wow! Stanford is providing university-related audio content via the iTunes Music Store. ‘Stanford on iTunes’ which includes free content available to the general public.
just think how cool it would have been to get your 8 am class lectures from the comfort and warmth of your bed rather than draggin’ your sorry hung over butt to class. of course, then we’d miss out on seeing that cute guy who sits 2 rows back……..
there’s always a trade off when technology’s involved!

you know…….i’ve noticed that since i’ve added tivo to my life….. that i’ve become very dependent on it. i no longer care about what day it is (ie., panic! is it thursday already?? i can’t miss ‘will & grace’!!) because tivo’s taking care of that for me. also.. i can DO stuff during a show without missing a beat……and actually SAVING time in the end due to tivo’s renowned ‘pause’ feature.. which subsequently allows me to speeeed thru the plethora of annoying commercials. you never really realize just how MANY commercials there are until you don’t have to watch them all – when you’re used to NOT. really. it’s like we’ve all become anesthetized victims of this capitalist sales-driven culture… comfortably numb in our favorite chair or spot on the couch… while they spew message after message telling us to buy buy buy.. creating need after needless need. i’ve also noticed that i tend to watch tv a bit more passively these days…… not always paying COMPLETE attention to every word jon stewart utters because if i miss something that seems important or funny on the back side due to uncontrollable mind-wandering.. it’s OK……i can always re-wind. unfortunately.. that lack of complete 100% attentiveness has also creeped into my radio listening…… which sux because i have a habit of catching the second half of something really interesting and desperately wanting to reach for my trusty, dependable tivo remote to hear the good part! DOH! and so.. in conclusion.. while i love my tivo……. i am pretty sure it’s not helping any ADD tendencies i may have goin’ on here
