And, that's how you spam...
After almost a year long hiatus, I’m back. Back to spamming posts. Obviously, this time it was totally unintended but on further encouragement from Arun (as shall be known to you in the picture below), I finally agreed. And the end result? One fine thread. :) Have a look yourselves:

It is quite cool, ain’t it?
Google Doodle 24/05/2011
It is the ninth of May today. Just a few days later, the world shall celebrate the birthday of Julius Caesar Germanicus, Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom, Bob Dylan, French football player Eric Cantona and finally (and not to forget…) Me. And to commemorate the last of the aforementioned births, Google has designed a simple yet elegant doodle showing two of Aditya Kamath’s art...
We did it!
Please note: The following post is less about Football or Manchester United winning than what it seems to be.
Anyways, I just got onto Facebook and noticed that apparently, Man U (Fans: You people might want me to call it Man United but NO.) won against Chelsea (Again, it seems). That’s not something bad. What sucks is posts by some friends: “WE DID IT!” or “WE ARE THE...

the classic snake - arduinized
Always loved the classic Snake game? Well, here’s something cooler! As a part of a project we had to submit in accordance with IEEE Manipal’s Arduino workshop, this is what we thought of: What if we recreate the snake game which could be played using buttons on the Arduino development board? Classy, eh?
What exactly is happening is that, on pressing a button attached to the board,...

cticer:
I recently purchased my first Arduino board (the Arduino Uno) from SparkFun. After messing with it for a week doing stuff liking blinking LEDs and reading values from photoresistors, I have finally started the project that I have been meaning to.
It will be a simple robot. Mostly like you see on…

6÷2(1+2)=? Answer revealed here.
After this really awesome but controversial question asked on Facebook, there apparently (AFAIK) have been lots of fights and online disputes (to hilarious levels) about what the answer is. Is it 9? Or is it 1? Here’s the answer:
Firstly, YOU’VE BEEN PWNED. It’s a fact. Live with it.

Scissors cut paper. Paper covers rock. Rock crushes lizard. Lizard poisons Spock. Spock smashes scissors. Scissors decapitate lizard. Lizard eats paper. Paper disproves Spock. Spock vaporizes rock. And as it has always been…rock crushes scissors.
