"Conversation. What is it? A Mystery! It's the art of never seeming bored, of touching everything with interest, of pleasing with trifles, of being fascinating with nothing at all. How do we define this lively darting about with words, of hitting them back and forth, this sort of brief smile of ideas which should be conversation?" Guy de Maupassant

Re-routing are we in a topsy-turvy world

Yahoo launchesA picture named index_yahoo.gif[link via Scripting News]

Google launches its search services in five indian languages

The Asian Age , a daily, in its supplement that covers selected articles from the New York Times, has an article that says - From Cyberworld to Real World - Web Inspires Mobs Without a Cause' - covering most of the front page.  

MEANWHILE ....

Blackouts in New York ... interesting to see how world news was just full of it - here in India it happens all the time :):).  But its getting better !  Saw a fantastic picture - again in the Asian Age - of a religious student in NYC, seated on a make-shift box in front of his car, bonnet wide open, open laptop - busy typing, using his car battery as a source of power.  With the headline - 'In a Digital World You Still Have to Plug it In'.  Wish i could have posted it here but my scanner just died.

New worms called Sobig.F and Blaster ...

Texting blamed for summer movie flops. ... 

And even Are weblogs like illicit lovers?. ....

Hmmmm .... interesting times ahead ....

Thinking thoughts of chaos and complexity - re-routing are we in a topsy-turvy world.   At the edge of chaos ... with new possibilities bursting through the turmoil ..... or the space between endings and new beginnings.

A picture named sunset3.jpg"The disturbance of chaos can be from near stable to incompehensibly complex and energized. At the extremes of order and chaos, dynamics are counterproductive to the system. Too much order and change will not cross impermeable boundaries. Too much chaos and the system loses its organization. Along this continuum of chaotic behavior is a place called the "edge of chaos" a location of maximized activity, balanced order and chaos, and enhanced creativity where new patterns, processes, and structures emerge from self-organization."  Tom Heuerman
