Santhosh’s Blog

Ah, I successfully completed 21 orbital revolutions around the sun early this morning (June 25th) at 05:33. That’s approximately 3.150 billion kilometers around the sun. Nice!

And as I recently blogged, I bought a Nikon D5000 DSLR camera from G.K Vale for 37k bucks on June 10th. Having a great time with it, but not able to spend much time experimenting it’s features coz of being busy. Nevertheless, I did manage to take some newbie shots and uploaded them on facebook and good one’s on Flickr. You can find some snaps below:

And here are shot of my Nikon D5000 DSLR:

Dear Mark Zuckerberg, sorry for hotlinking images directly from Facebook.

Finally am relieved from the eggzam stress. Now am planning what to do in this one month holiday. There is no need to think much about planning what to do because I’ll soon buy a Nikon DSLR and will spend most of the time experimenting it’s capabilities. But still, I think it’s better to have a plan on what to do, when to do and how to do so that I can utilize my holidays to learn and do something productive.

Meanwhile, a smile lit up on my face soon after I returned home after the exam. My customized twitter profile t-shirt was delivered on time as show on the shipping tracking system. I got it from “Pringoo” and they call it Twitter Swag. It’s really feels awesome to have your customized twitter profile t-shirt with your picture, user name and your followers/friends.

Here are few pics:

This definitely is a geeky t-shirt to wear while going out for an tweetup, exhibitions, malls, events etc. I just tried wearing it  fits me well (size is L) and the material is of good quality. This t-shirt is totally worth for it’s money (350 bucks + shipping). Since there’s a Father’s Day discount sale going on, I got it 15% less than the actual the price.

I selected the friends’ (those who I follow) picture to appear on the t-shirt while customizing it. If am following you, probably there are chances for your picture to be included in this tee. :p

It’s been pretty long time since I last posted here in my blog. And that’s because I’m pretty busy with real-life stuffs. Though I am not that busy to update my blog, but I am concentrating much on some of my other niche-based blogs. On the other hand, am busy with my studies and not able to spare much time since now am spending most of the time reading, practicing and discussing my academy related stuffs. Also, am now showing a bit of interest towards Photography since I bought a new Sony Ericsson C510 back in Nov 2009. It made me get addicted to taking new kinda shots every now and then, and I can say that it pretty inspired me. The cam on C510 is considerably good and rivals many competitive brands to some extent.

For some reasons, I am bored to write about anything new that I buy or new things I do, travel etc these days. But still to keep it as record and to keep my old pals who are not in touch and yet reading my blog, updated about what am up to. Well, the main purpose of blogging itself is to write whatever am doing and let the world know, but am simply feeling really lazy to update the blog. The biggest reason is because of the addiction of mighty twitter micro-blogging. Anything I do, will be blogged in just under 140 chars. So why write a epic story here?

To begin with, I would like to say a big thanks to the summer heat (coz I clean up dust very rarely). It’s not just we who cannot tolerate the heat of the summer, but also our computers do tend to underperform and start making unusual stuffs (which are annoying). You may not notice those alien behaviors if you cleanup your cabinet regularly. If you like to see what really happens, I suggest you not to clean dust inside your cabinet for next one year (Disclaimer: Do it at your own risk. I am not responsible for any physical damages caused during the course of experimentation).

For those who don’t like to take risk, here are some of the things you may notice due to heavy dust accumulation:

Please don’t ask me why I did this. This is just another random thing that popped out of my head. So opened Fireworks (after a long time) and did this under 30 minutes. This is how it looks:

And I do know this isn’t as good as what professional designers would do, but it was just that I couldn’t resist to do it after the idea flashed in my head. Currently the wallpaper is available for download in 3 standard widescreen resolutions.
