Happy Doodle Day!
I agree. It sounds pointless. But without doodles, all my textbooks and notebooks would still be blank and in mint condition. Also, it was highlighted by The Times of India title font today. We owe doodles for making so many boring lectures (or periods, what they were called in school) worthwhile.
Let’s talk Data speeds. At home, I have a 8 Mbps connection courtesy MTNL. On paper. It’s always less than that. I hate MTNL too, but their connections are hassle free: a telephone cable that plugs into my router. Done. I’ve had other ISPs, namely Tata Photon and Tikona, before switching back to MTNL because it doesn’t die. Sometimes it gets painfully slow, but doesn’t die. Others do. Last month, Netflix happened and I’m not content with watching Netflix on iPad and iPhone when I know my TV has a Netflix app, which works but needs a better data connection. So, stalwart of the Internet, suggest me a good ISP.
This happened in Japan about hour ago:
The Sakurajima volcano in southern Japan erupted. A freakin’ Volcano. The most fascinating geological event possible. They definitely look beautiful. They’re dangerous as hell, but pictures of live, smoke breathing, lava sneezing volcanoes are the prettiest you can find. Volcanoes that sneeze. Ironically, volcanoes can’t ever have a cold.
I can’t help but attach a Calvin and Hobbes comic strip to the email blast. I have more than a hundred of them on my camera roll. They’ve gotta go somewhere, and they fit best here. We also welcomed Leap year February this month. February at its absolute best. The next time we get a leap year February would be around Weekly Email Blast 250-something. So treasure this month.
Tis, mate was the Weekly Email Blast, email 46. Happy Weekend
