JOEY by Mozilla

Mozilla has a project for sharing info to your mobile device. Project JOEY brings the Web content you need most to your mobile phone by allowing you to easily send it to your device. Here is a sneak peak at how to get started using Joey today.
The concept is very similar to email and other internet storage facilities like (yahoo briefcase). You login into your account and add the information you want (which is equivalent to sending emails). Then in your mobile phone you login into your account (the same account) and you can access that information. It differs from email, as in email we send information to someone else, while here we store that information somewhere on the server and then can access it by accessing your account from the internet. So theoretically we are sending the information to ourself. I think they can easily extend a feature to sending information other users as well.
It would be interesting to see how many people use this new facility by Mozilla, but surely Mozilla would get more attention.

HYPERMILING

Today, in newspaper I came across an interesting article about this guy Wayne Gerdes and his Hypermiling theory. In the theory he suggest/explains different ways to get better mileage than the EPA estimate for your car. For detailed explanation you can visit www.cleanmpg.com . He has some interesting ways by which we can increase the mileage of our car, and its not limited to hybrid cars. One of his accomplishments that were described in the paper were getting 57MPG in Honda Accord and 127MPG in Toyota prius. Not all the ways he describes on the website are totally safe but they are worth reading as they explain the forces which take away the MPG from our while we drive in our AC car totally oblivious of.

Trip to India

I just came back from a short trip to India for about 11days. As would have come to your mind that 11 days is nothing when u are going to India, well I also felt same but had no other options. It was a fun trip all in all.
First couple of days it was very hot and humid, and you feel more when you go from here. But was fun to get wet in the rain after 4 years. Its totally a different feeling. The smell of wet soil and the speed of rain, it freshened my memories and surely created new ones. As I went to meet my fiance, was much of a social trip. Went to meet her family and she came to visit my family. Also I got rid of one of the wisdom tooth which started decaying, so last week was just bearing that pain.
The only regret I have was I could not eat out as first couple of day went in getting my body adjusted and then I got my tooth surgery done. But next time would surly make up in that division.
