John Lam and Jim G 's session at this year's mix nixes the holy grail. This session weaves languages like c#, ruby, python, javascript and frameworks like linq in one simple sample which just blows the imagination. Microsoft's persistance with constructs which could support dynamic language and improving the runtime support is paying off. I guess people do not realize the slew of technologies which have been announced and released at Mix mean a tectonic shift (yeah you read it right).

1. Ani - mentions about the right of way. I think we have this behavior ingrained. We think the size of the vehicle and texture of cloth will have the right of way. You can see this in action, A bicycle uses the creakish horn on the footpath user, the biker gang of Ani/Tririckshaw using their tools of sound arms on everybody else, they also act pretty funny, when they are politely asked to stop with hand sign. Somehow they seem to have hurry to reach all the places(I call them having #2 hurry- the call of nature is too strong, you can't avoid it). Tri-rickshaw and Biker gang never ever use the lane, they create this video game kind of scenario on the road where half of the time you are braking to avoid hitting them as they zip past as if in motor cross and other half respondig to folks who think you are dumb giving way to all those knuckleheads.

I had to mention - Ani 's latest entries about 1. First amendment - Although I am all for individual liberty but I agree with Ani - "there has to be influence of good kind" - now this could be contrused in various ways - brainwashing with right/left/liberal wing thoughts.

Traffic woes in Bangalore - I envy Ani's happiness/glow since he has got that two wheeler while I drone through the traffic in 4 wheeler. I am going to join his tribe soon.
