2 Komodo dragons fighting

I happened to see a YouTube video of two Komodo dragons fighting that was sent to me by a friend.



Amazing. Reminds me of 2 Sumo wrestlers grappling. Remind me not to tangle with these animals, esp when they have a poisonous bite too.

The last instant

I've just been reading Seth Godin's post called "Waiting until the last hour". Pretty interesting notion on how our notion of time has been getting more accurate relatively. Soon, we'll start measuring time in an instant, giving it some new measurable value.

On a side note, I've started reading David Allen's "Getting Things Done". I've read a lot about the system and I am really looking forward to pick up some new stuff that will let me do more, and do it better. I've tried stuff like to-do lists, mind mapping and just randomly jotting things down with a pen and paper. The think that really hurt was that there wasn't much of a price difference from the US edition ($10.20/- in Amazon when I last checked) and what I bought at Landmark (Rs 453/-).

Also messing around with Auto Hot Key. Nifty tool for auto completes and creating keyboard short cuts. I've got a new new auto completes set up. Weird that I see only a Windows based utility, though it's released with GPL.
