aJCfreak - Dan's Blog

For those of you (the two or three individuals out there) who are waiting for an update about my life, this isn't it. This post is fully and completely dedicated to detailing the unofficial story behind The Indian Geek . Long, long ago I started a side-blog titled "Dan's Desirables" to write about gadgets I love and desire. The blog turned out to be posts about mostly Apple products. (No surprises there, eh?!) Nearly two years ago, the blog was moulded into Gadget Desirables  adding Josh Rajasingh as a co-author. We didn't write much about anything after that, apart from writing about the gadgets/technology that we owned. Add to this the fact that I was a keen follower of all Apple-related news and rumours (via Macrumors.com ) and other tech-related news (via WinSuperSite.com and Engadget.com ) and you have a dude with a wealth of geeky knowledge. When reading articles on Indian tech sites and blogs, I was appalled by two things - one, the lack of functional ...

So, I've started Dan's Desirables ... It's a blog I began yesterday to try and write about the funky, cool gadgets that I desire. The first gadget I've blogged about is the iPod . Obviously, it's on my top-top-ten must-have, must-desire list... Hence the beginning. Basically, I plan to update the blog with my latest and recent and not-so-recent gadgets-I-desire. So keep checking it for future updates.... ;-) Oh and one more thing - jus Google Dan's Desirables and you might be surprised to find the first result that shows up. How cool is that, eh?! Adios fer now, Amigos!

aJCfreak. It's a simplified version of "A Jesus Freak". I flicked the concept from the dc Talk. There was a phase back in college, when I used to mutilate furniture (cots, desks, tables, chairs) with the phrase A Jesus Freak woz 'ere... and thats when I decided to go in for an email ID that reflected this too. It was the middle of 2005, I guess (May-June) and I'd jus gotten an invite to Gmail... so I got it - ajcfreak at gmail dot com. Since then, it's been a long time in catching on, but it's finally caught on - atleast in ma head. So that's what I am - aJCfreak. Atleast, I try to be at most times. More often than not, I fail... But mostly, I stand on His grace. FYI, here's a list of some places where I've signed up with this particular alias: 1. Wikipedia (English) plus my IDs on many of the sister projects of Wikipedia 2. Online Photo album 3. Blogger - this blog that you're reading right now! 4. YouTube! 5. Online storage space on e-S...

I guess its been too long since I last posted - so many things have taken some interesting turns........... Graduated (or is that 'convocated' in India?!) on the 17th of March. Brought my phone bill down to 1/3rd of what it used to be..... (It doubled again, this month) All in all - its been pretty busy. Rarely see ma brother nowadays since our shifts rarely cross paths.... Its a lil bit better when he's got his weekly offs on Sat/Sun. That way, I get an opportunity to blow more cash on weekend lunches.... ;) Anyways, got loadsa ideas to write stuff here. Mebbe when I have time.......... And ya, God's leading me through many different possible avenues. Reaching new heights (or shall I see revisiting hitherto unconquered ones?!) is always a joy and a pleasure. Keep watching this space... A blurry of activity comin this way over the next coupla months. All for now! Take care and ciao...
