Routine Order

So macworld expo is on, and the iPhone has been getting its share of very well deserved coverage.
One little other thing has me interested.

It is the Airport Extreme. It is a wireless networking hub that makes it real easy to share. Share your Printer or USB Hard Drive effortlessly in your network. Sounds like a […]

Dear fencinggerbil,
Can I have weblog.org please?
Pretty please?

Walmart’s Entry to India should NOT be smooth, and hopefully, there should be no Walmart in India, ever. The reason I say this is, unlike in the US, employment and livelihood is a lifelong commitment for most. In the US, if you lose your job which was flipping burgers, you can move on to trimming […]

And more…

Time and again you might have seen people start posts with “Dear Lazyweb” on their blogs requesting help with their problems. The wikipedia defines the lazyweb as:
LazyWeb is the idea that if you wait long enough, someone will implement that wacky idea you had… (or already has!) Alternatively, that if your blog or other publishing […]

The Economist list of the top books of the year 2006 is interesting in itself, but what really got my gut was the following description of Richard Dawkins‘ latest book, “The God Delusion,” — as a wavering agnostic myself, maybe I should grab the book, and give it a half-chance of swaying me either way. […]

Gosh, I wish I had find seatguru.com much, much earlier. I did recently, thanks to boing boing.
The site tells you which are the cool seats, and the bad seats on all airlines. It also tells you what amenities are provided on different airlines. Information about the airlines… man this is cool!

This trick amazes me when I think about it - oh why did it not occur to me sooner!
You can translate a page from one language to the same language using Google. For example you can translate this website from English to English! - Here are the results.

The URL, if you notice it is:
http://www.google.com/translate?langpair=en|en&u=routineorder.com
The “en|en” […]

BookSwim promises an online book rental service that works like Netflix does. I am wondering if it will get off the ground, as much as whether it will be successful.

Books have a much lesser audience these days
There are a lot more books than Movies released every year
Readers have pretty specific tastes, especially when it comes […]

Through Anil Dash, I ended up on this post at sylloge.com about a John Adams quote, the original version of which seems to be:
The science of government it is my duty to study, more than all other sciences; the arts of legislation and administration and negotiation ought to take the place of, indeed exclude, in […]

The Consumerist asks for tips on organizing their site better. I stopped by from my feedreader to leave a comment, and guess what, you need to login to comment! (And finding how to create a login is not intuitive).

That is unacceptable to me, and I bet to a lot of people. We all know that […]

LoudLaunch is a budding site, much like Pay Per Post or Review Me that rewards bloggers for blogging reviews about their sponsors. So far, so good.
So what do I think about it? Please note that my opinion does not count, in any way, and that I am not getting paid or anything like that.

I think […]

Go to FreeAnnualReport.com to get your credit report from the three major credit monitoring companies.
This new year, I have resolved to get a tighter grip on my finances. The credit report will (hopefully) help me in bargaining with my credit card companies for lower rates.

I also anticiapte having to pitch for a home loan/mortgage later […]

Apollon: World’s oldest ritual discovered. Worshipped the python 70,000 years ago

They did not burn the spearheads by chance. They brought them from hundreds of kilometers away and intentionally burned them. So many pieces of the puzzle fit together here. It has to represent a ritual…
Torfinn Ørmen, a zoologist who lectures on human evolutionary history at […]

Levitated | Everything - Look at these here flash pieces-of-art if you do nothing else today. Some of them explore symmetry, some science, some the I-ching, and some just let me explore them.

I love it. Time to get back to the levitated gallery…

Why is it that How to add Sphere It function based on number of words in post is the closest I seem to get to a simple wordpress plugin that adds a “sphere it” link to the bottom of each post?

I should think this is quite an easy plugin to develop. Now do I wait […]

PopSci contributing editor Theodore Gray has been fascinated with the Periodic Table of Elements. So much so that he has been spending a few years now collecting real-life samples of the elements, or when that is not available, samples of things that include rare elements.

I read in Oliver Sacks’s Uncle Tungsten that Sacks liked to […]
