9:25 PM - Tags Overwhelm me!
Tags, tags, tags and more tags - audio tags, video tags, photo tags, file tags and then comes bundles...
I was just sharing this thought with my pal Dinesh - I wish to share here:
"tag" is to the "future" as what "hyperlink" is to today
hyperlink : today = tag : future
of course: search is inevitable as content grows, i am visualizing search as "automizing organization" than "folders" doing "manaul organization"
Computers are becoming more close to humans: However disorganized we are, the more lazy we are to get organized - ex: we leave our things here and there and "search" for it - now we are organizing information into a choatic space and then "search".... tags minimize the effort of that "search" requiring intelligence...
Cheers!

4:04 AM - Welcome Year 2006
This year was a hearty welcome with - well of course a good sleep and 2 movies with a tea-party with my collegues at home. That may not sound very interesting of course - but I welcomed the new year with a relaxed mood.
The 3rd of the year was however a very good experience for me. We went Skiiing to Niigata. Niigata is 1.5hours by Shinkansen from Tokyo. With my collegues who work with me - after a lot of initial push for the ski, finally, we were able to gather a team of 9! Prakash,
Initially - I was skeptic about my abilities to Ski around over there... I even wondered if I will be able to stand with the ski on my legs or even lift it for that matter. After a 2 hour training at the school, I was all ready for exploring the slopes with my ski's on! Thanks to the instructor - Akihiro (if I remember the name properly).
Added to the ski-ing experience was my first experience in a LOT of snow filled around me. That was fun since the first time I experienced snow was very mild and I was not out there when it was all snowing. In short - a very enjoyable day of my life was yesterday - when I discovered that only a sporty mind is all that is required to enjoy a good sport.
Of course - my first experience on Shinkansen too. I couldn't really FEEL the speed... though I can tell it is a well architected train.
I will post more photos and stuff later.
