The impending Age Of Abundance was prophecied in the scriptures thousands of years ago.

Unexplained Spike
This blog just did 900 per hour kind of traffic, that too around midnight, usually the slowest part of the 24 hour period. And I can't explain it. It is not like any one blog post got picked up somewhere. It seems to be some kind of sitewise boost. And it was not even an active day. It was a day when I had not blogged at all.
But I am taking it.

New Business Card On The Way
My business card over the years has had just one word on it, my first name: Paramendra. But I have come to realize it has not been serving its purpose. You necessarily have to explain to people.
That's my first name. If you google me up, everything about me shows up. My name at Gmail would be my email.
Okay, when you have to say that each time you give out your card, that is not a time saver, and you become bored of yourself. As in, people can google up your name? Really?
Noone else has my first name. My parents saw Google coming.
That is another line I add. But you can say even that only so many times. And it is not like people care.
And so this is my new business card. I just placed orders for 500 cards at Vistaprint.
Now people are not going to get weirded out by my business card. No more.

Kevin Shitstorm Of Instagram
Image via WikipediaKevin Shitstorm of Instagram takes great pride in saying their team is only four people and they have still managed to take over the world. I think that is one remarkable record to have. I mean, they have been acquiring a million new users a month. But don't you think they should maybe grow the team a little and release an Android app like maybe six months ago?
Lightbox Android app could be an Instagram killer This Android app is aiming to replace your regular camera functionality and, from what I’ve seen, it has a very good chance of doing that as well as giving the little, green robot something to crow about when iPhone owners talk about Instagram...... a social photo-viewing app that can tie in to your various social networks to display photos. This includes Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Foursquare and the company is compressing those photos on its servers to make sure the pics pop up quickly..... many of the innovative mobile photography companies are focusing on the iPhone only

Truly Disruptive
Of all the blog posts I have done at this blog, this has got to be my favorite: My Web Diagram.
I keep thinking in terms of the red circle.
What after the infrastructure has been built? Then what? That has implications. When people in tech talk about disruptive, it is about shifts in the way the technology operates. Digital disrupts the music scene, for example. Disruptions can be to business processes.
But the web is not one technology, just like white is not one people, Indian is not one people. There are many peoples. Africa is not one country.

World War III Time: Let's Go To War
Image via CrunchBaseTechRadar: Google declares war on Microsoft and Apple over Android Google has openly declared war on Microsoft and Apple, with the internet giant claiming that a "hostile, organized campaign against Android" is being waged through "bogus patents"....... the first shots of a war between the highest profile technology companies on the globe. ...... Whether that's with the purchase of patents, huge investment in products (ie Microsoft's Windows Phone 7) or by marketing – it is clear that nobody can pretend that it is good-natured rivalry that is spurring on a now vicious battle.Eric Schmidt On The Case
Android Has To Be Kept Free
Microsoft And Oracle Misbehaving On Android
The short term victory would be to see that Android stays free, that manufacturers are not having to pay Microsoft - Darth Vader - a dime. The long term victory would be to see the ridiculousness of software patents in general go away.
