A refreshing personal website by Dipti Kamath.

Tim Berners-Lee’s article on The Semantic Web is the first one that helped me understand what’s so great about the RDF (Resource Description Framework).

The Machiavellian Intelligence hypothesis says that the brain evolved more for its social purpose, than for finding food and things like that. Incidentally, Google’s collection on evolution is as comprehensive as ever.

BMW films — short films, ads for BMW, which are available only on BMWfilms.com. Great stuff for car chase lovers. Pretty good logic too, since the people who’d buy a BMW could afford a high-speed Internet connection.

The Webby Awards are out.

I saw this page 5 years ago, and thought I’d lost it since then. It’s a list of tamil film songs and their raagas.

Try this: search for a song and listen online.

eBiquity has news on pervasive computing (which, as with most good things, started at Xerox.)

I’m fiddling around with Yahoo’s add-ons like guestbook, site stats, etc. Don’t be surprised to see wierd things popping up on my page.

Google Zeitgeist: trends in Google searches. (Zeitgeist means “the general intellectual, moral, and cultural climate of an era”). Similar to Buzz and Lycos50. Other sites that offer search profiles are AskJeeves, Search.com, Excite, and Goto.

An excellent tutorial on cosmology from NASA.
