Online Observations

Nothing funnier that kiddy-speak

One of the most interesting sites on the Internet is one that was put up by Scott Hanselman (as a way to record the words of wisdom of his kids). He opened it up so that others could make submissions as well. The site is called overheard@home. Here are some classic examples from the website:

3 yr old, watching the second hand…

"It’s 7 o’clock….now it’s 8 o’clock…now it’s NINE o’clock!!!"

And this one:

Watching the Pixar movie "WALL-E"

7 year old – "ha ha, WALL-E thinks the booby trap is a pair of sunglasses!"

Me – "Erm, that’s not called a booby trap, its called a bra."

What about this one:

3.5 year old girl to her mother: “Mama, who hatched me?”

Mother: “I GAVE BIRTH to you, honey.”

Daughter: “And Max too?”

Mother: “And Max.”

Daughter: "So you had TWO children!?"

Mother: "Yes."

Daughter: "And what did daddy do?"

There are so many gems on that website that you can go on and on. And it is updated regularly as well. I have it in my bookmarks.

Painting Twitter’s history

 

Twitter is the hottest thing on the Internet right now, and rightly so. I blog less and tweet more. Its just so much easier to do it. TechCrunch found a picture describing Twitter’s history. Here’s what it looks like:

 

 

Not too many words are needed for this post (a picture is worth… ). Also click on the image to go to the TechCrunch article.

This is how we roll in India

This video has been doing the rounds, and since it was shot about 10 kilometers from where I live, I thought it would be appropriate to share it:

Honesty, the best policy?

One of my favorite cartoonists recently reminded us that honesty is the best policy… or is it? You decide:

If you are a football fan, Direct TV is your best friend

All 32 teams of the NFL are about to hit camp next month so that they are ready for the pre-season in August. If you are a football fan, you don’t want to miss any action this year. You want to watch every game, of every team, complete with player tracking. What can you do? The best thing you can do for yourself is to shake hands with Direct TV. Direct TV is the only provider which can bring you action from every team and every game.

The Direct TV NFL Sunday Ticket gives you access to 200 NFL games (14 of them every Sunday), player tracking, and also access to the NFL network. Like I said, if you are a football fan Direct TV is your best friend. Their package is made custom for football lovers. For instance, the player tracker allows you to choose your favorite 18 players, and will send updates to your screen whenever one of these players makes a big play.

The NFL Network access grants you 24 hour information – news, information shows game previews, coaches, players, press conferences, pre-season live games, and much more.The interactive receiver allows you to get detailed player statistics, real-time score feeds, and live updates from other games while you are watching your current game.

Of course, as always there is a benefit for being the early bird (you are getting a discount if you subscribe now). So, what are you waiting for?
