Cool things on the web

I like to think that I am a "call-it-like-i-see-it" person. I saw something cool, and I shall call it cool.
Check out the tag cloud here. http://indiaatwar.com/
The tag cloud is actually like a bunch of aerial floating words, very visually exciting. Also, the firm that made the website. id8 or something. 
I am working on a rather large write-up about how Sidin Vadakut and other south indian gents who have been unfairly denied their success with the ladyfolk in India have been more than avenged by yoga gurus in China. Collecting data in this sensitive field puts one amidst danger and is time consuming. 
Hence, my current middle name is danger and I am consuming time. 

Please waiting. I am maintained yesterday.  Welcome to take my blog again.
