I was surfing on the web for the blogs and sites that are making news, and came across the Bloggies awards. Listed here in the best meme section was the blog, Is my Blog Burning?. Its a food recipes site based on the same model as some of the photography sites like Photofriday, which call for theme-based postings. In the case of this blog, a weekly/monthly theme is announced and people post their recipes based on that theme and also post their comments. After going through the whole site, I found it much better than those dead monologues on other recipe sites. Finally, the cooking brethren puts on their creative hats to get in the league of the elite recipe makers. Go check it out.

Came across an interesting link on Seth’s site. Go check it out; Its hilarious. The link is Numanuma. Also check out an interesting but time-consuming game, which was mentioned on someone’s site. An ideal way to spend the latter half of Friday in office 
The game page can be found here.
Just an afterthought - If you can get fired, while caught sleeping on the job, I don’t know what would happen if you are caught gaming, while the deadline is minutes away. So fight the urge!!!
I have been reading a lot on Knowledge Management and K-blogs. There is a lot of theory on this controversial topic, when it comes to using blogs as a knowledge management tool, with lots of paradigms covering both for and against notions. However, there is still a dearth of good case studies or implementation/practice examples of K-logs on the net. I think that given a fair amount of freedom, any knowledge worker can utilise this new technology to the fullest, without getting side-tracked from the work that he/she does. A Team K-log not only fosters community-based feeling, but also helps an individual in getting a direction with respect to his thought process et al. However, the content that can be put up on the blog still traverses a thin line between the personal and the professional. Will be posting more on this soon, as I am still trying to put together the thoughts in my head.
I came across the ‘Mangaldeep’ brand of matchboxes which have been introduced in the market by ITC. In a new and interesting business paradigm, ITC is putting up cooking recipes on the backside of the matchbox and further, tips that appeal to any woman viz. how to make mehendi last longer and better; how to make sure your clothes don’t lose color when dipped in water et al. Inter alia, the company has also come with a smaller pack AIM which cites a lot of interesting trivia on each box. Will try to get a picture of the matchbox and the printed recipe on it soon.
Makes for an interesting case, where one can become picky about matchboxes. So the next time you go to buy one, you can end up arguing with the shopkeeper. “No Sir, I have already bought this one. Give me other one with some new recipe on it.” Things keep getting harder for the poor shopkeeper around the corner;-).
Here is cheers to the year 2005. Hope this year turns out to be great for everyone alike. Keep Rocking !!!
