IFTTT

Came across this really cool service called IFTTT. Created a task to send me an update every time I update my blog. Let's give it a try!

Training for the TCS 10k

The TCS 10k run (erstwhile known as the Sunfeast 10k)is right around the corner (less than 2 weeks away). This is the first time I'm running it and really looking forward to it as I have heard great reviews. It's organized by Procam and I'm sure they'll do a great job like they always do. My buddy Anurag and I have been training and here's data from my Garmin GPS watch for this morning's run. Lalbagh has been a recent discovery for me for running.

Euphoria Rockumentary

One of my favorite bands is Euphoria. I really enjoyed watching this rockumentary. Even though the production quality is not that great, the content and details and trivia in there are awesome. It's a must watch for any Euphoria fan. It's a multi-part series so looking forward to the next episode

Techcrunch Disrupt - MobilePay

TC Disrupt is on and I have been watching sessions over the web (not as exciting as it was attending in-person TC50 last time as a part of the presenting company but content is energizing). Came across this interesting mobile payments startup that has very creatively solved the pain point of upgrading to new hardware for mechants as well as for end users (upgrading/waiting for NFC devices). Definitely on my radar to track.

TED Talk by Fabian Hemmert

An interesting TED Video Sunil Madhani shared with me.

The concluding remark was striking.
 "Rather than human getting much more technical in future, technology should get bit more human".

Very Cool stuff! This has very interesting possibilities for the visually challenged as well tho he doesn't talk about it. Think about it, for a blind person, an iphone is useless. With this some apps like navigation could start to become little more useful. Thumbs up!
