Internet Internet everywhere

In flight browsing available from American Airlines (link).

Now this is progress! Before today you could catch the internet practically everywhere where you could get a public satellite signal except while you were flying. You will no longer be cutoff from the world even when you are aboard an airplane!

$12.95 would get you in-flight email checking. Lets see what else you get -
1. loose the habit of catching up on your sleep on business flight since your boss will be emailing you to respond asap
2. use VOIP to make phone calls, and see staring eyes of co-passengers for you to shut-up
3. lookup wikipedia for cool details of the airplane you just boarded
4. email you pickup that you have been taxing since the last 2 hours as the airport is ever so busy
5. your wife will not know you runaway from home since you will always be online on IM and replying to her emails

Seems that this facility will soon become a necessary evil in the next few months...

As for me...I'm not going to pay $12.95 on 15 hour flight to India simply because my laptop battery will only last 2 hours :-)

Only a few month into our new life...we have settle down. Moved into a new apartment. Bought boatloads of furniture (alright alright, i'm exaggerating...but that's because a bachelor home like mine never had lots of furniture!). Got lots of clothes for me (yay!) and for Shuchi too. She denies it but i think she'll go wild over shopping once she goes to India in Nov. Had mom-dad, Akshia-bhabhi over to stay with us. Akshia graduated and has joined his new job etc etc.

Shuchi and I have been having a great time (link1 link2 link3). We've learn a lot about each other other the past few days and have loved each other even more for that. (to be honest, any given day, Shuchi would recall more about me than i would about her...she has a great memory and because she 'da best). We've had our little fights too. But never could really not talk with each other for more than an hour or so -- that would be cruel.

My work is going fine. Met with the governor a few days back...and had my pics taken too by a professional photographer... link 4.
Still hoping to learn photography using my SLR soon! For now...my N95 camera is working out great for me! Checkout these panoramic pics from my phone - BBQ Burgers, Pittsburg downtown, Akshia convocation.

Yet another attempt in *starting to being a regular blogger*
