Going through my regular feed reads, I stumbled upon i4giveu.com which offers forgiveness to all the sins and wrong doings. Ok, let me call it an online repository of confessions. Every confession is ranked with the Forgiven or No forgive ranking. One can register or confess anonymously. For ranking a confession, one needs to register though. Ones reputation will be judged from Angel to devil upon the confession ranking, the higher the score the closer to Angel status you get and vise versa. Rank each confession after you truly decided on the sinners fate, the higher the score the closer to forgiveness. A sure thing is that it is good site to visit when one has a lot of time to waste and also some of the confessions are really interesting to read. Let us see how far this site goes through. Enjoy confessing and forgiving.

I was on my weekly off from yesterday and had a lot of time to kill. I had surfed all day yesterday and slept only at mid-night. Woke up at 10.30 today morning and wanted badly to kill the time. Borrowed handful of movies from my neighbour and started of with “Kill Bill”. The name interested me a lot and I got it running in my DVD player. I have seen Uma Thurman in some movies before. But, she was at her best in Kill Bill. This movie is the most violent movie I have ever seen in my life. Kill Bill is directed by Quentin Tarantino. I thought this guy must be of a chinese origin and I may be right as there were hair-raising stunts in the movie. But a few were crap with guys walking the walls to reach the ceiling.???????????
The story is about a gang of assasins with Bill as their leader. And every member of this death viper assasins squad has a code name. Something like Black Mamba, Copper head and a few other creative names. Uma Thurman who is a professional killer wants to lead a normal lead a normal life tries to get married to a record music store owner. Her dreams are shattered with a massacre of her friends and her fiance in a marriage rehearsal. She is shot by Bill and goes to coma for 4 years. The rest of the story revolves around how Uma Thurman hits back and takes revenge on Bill and his assasins.
Things I liked in the movie
- Uma Thurman was at her ravishing best and she does some great stunts.
- The Cinematography and screenplay.
Things I hated in the movie
- A typical Hollywood killer story which does not involve police in any scenes.
- Too much of blood gushing out like fountains sprinkilng water.
- A few unrealistic stunts
I am gonna buy DVDs or VCDs of all great English movies and enjoy all my weekly offs.
Kill Bill was really helpful to kill away the time.
One more essential gear for travellers got my attention when I was surfing in the morning. It is the USB Travel Plug.

Not only is it a handy worldwide travel adaptor, but it is unique as it has an additional USB converter – allowing you to recharge or operate your device directly from the main power supply, where ever you are! Simply remove the usual cap, replace with the USB cap and enjoy!
Suitable for all devices without ground pin (2-pin connections; 2.5A; 110V – max.275W; 220V – max.550W).

USB cable needs to be� bought separately� though.� But� on the� whole, this is a� good� gadget� for people who travel with� gadgets which can be charged� only� through USB cable. This little gadget costs $20.
I am really happy to see this kind of thing making news after a long time.
In Santa Ana, California – A homeless man searching through garbage bins for recyclable cans found a missing wallet and had it returned to its owner.
Kim Bogue, who works as a janitor in the city’s government buildings, realized that her wallet was missing last week and doubted she’d ever get back the $900 and credit cards inside, she said.
“I prayed that night and asked God to help me,” said Bogue, who was saving the money for a trip to her native Thailand.
Days later, a homeless man found the wallet wrapped in a plastic bag in a trash bin, where Bogue had accidentally thrown it away with her lunch. He gave it to Sherry Wesley, who works in a nearby building.
“He came to me with the wad of money and said, ‘This probably belongs to someone that you work with, can you return it,’” Wesley said.
Workers at a nearby relief kitchen said the man, who didn’t want to be identified, insists on paying for his food.
“He has a very good heart,” said Bogue, who gave the man a $100 reward. “If someone else found it, the money would be gone.”
Isn’t this a great deed? I am so proud of this guy who could have easily gulped down all the money and walked away coolly. But, he did the right thing by returning it. I remember reading a non-detail lesson during my middle school days. The tile was some thing like this.
“Where love is, God is.” I don’t believe in God but I will add that “Where Truth is, God is”.
For people who are greedy of money and properties, this is really a good lesson. I am bowing myself at your direction. Hats off!
Google released yet another online service google calendar last week. It has become a way for google to release a new product every month. What google calendar does?
Google calendar is a free online shareable calendar service. It is used to simply manage our schedules and even share them with our friends and family members. Interestingly, events can be scheduled with this service and can be shared among a group of people. Moreover, publicly available calendars can be searched and added. for Example, I have added the FIFA Worldcup schedule in my calendar service. As always, google has got its own google calendar support page for all the questions one has. I have given links for certain publicly available calendars below. Enjoy scheduling.

I know the list is too expensive but I am pretty sure that I will own these one day.
I have started using bloglines as my feed reader and it works really well. I was adding the feeds of all the blogs I read and here is when I found out that blogspot bloggers don’t have a comments RSS for an entire site. I am able to add the comments RSS of wordpress blogs. A bit of googling led me to a site which helps in setting up RSS for comments in blogspot. I have given the link for the same below.
