The Raid

2012-01-02T23:24:00.000-08:00

There is an Indonesian movie called 'The Raid'. Not yet released. See the trailer below. What you see in the trailer is something you haven't seen before. You will cringe after seeing it. You will witness that the line between staged action and reality gets thinner and thinner. Should we be happy about that? One of the reasons I watch movies is to escape from reality. Movies are better than reality. They make a finer presentation of reality. But this movie takes the reality to a whole new level. It confuses my emotions. It makes my mind go blank. I was staring at the youtube video for good 10 minutes after trailer finished.

Eagerly waiting for the release.

Oh, the trailer contains soundtrack composed by Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park.

Hahahaha....I'm laughing all day after watching this viral video. Some Singaporean dude remixed a mundane announcement of election results to an awesome track. Check it out. Oh, Yam Ah Mee is the announcer's name.

What's all this Ocean Marketing hoopla about?

2011-12-29T16:41:00.000-08:00

Answer: Ocean Marketing hoopla is about some douche pissing off his customer. And how does he do that?

See this site and watch this video.

I got 55 inches baby

Well that's what LG is saying. LG is releasing world's largest OLED TV.
55" panel, 100,000:1 contrast ratio, skinny as 5mm......need more?

Another good news to come out of LG stable is their support to Intel's WiDi (Wireless Display) technology. Consider WiDi as wireless HDMI, streaming HD contents at Gbit/s.

Get a glimpse of what LG is upto in Jan 2012 Consumer Electronic Show (CES).

Crowdsourcing brand promotion

2011-12-26T02:30:00.000-08:00

Good news for videomakers, graphic designers, animators and photographers. eYeka, a platform for connecting brands and creators, lets you unleash your creativity by making videos, storyboards, designs, animations for popular brands and win prizes. Pretty neat idea. Works in favor of both brands and media creators.

How to catch google's attention for employment?

2011-12-25T18:34:00.000-08:00

Follow Matthew Epstein's cyber begging strategy. Create a website, make a self-promotion video, try to be funny, fail at it and acknowledge at the end that you are not actually funny.

PS: On a different note his resume layout looks pretty creative.

Free online image editors

2011-12-22T00:31:00.000-08:00

If you are looking for online image editors then I highly recommend following two sites. They are free to use basic features (which include great set of filters). Pro might give you more goodies. I really like them from the p.o.v of creating new image rather than editing an existing image.

1. Pixlr
http://pixlr.com/editor/

Apart from image editing, pixlr provides nice integration with facebook, picasa, flickr and their own image hosting service imm.io (no signup required). Pixlr also supports multiple languages.

2. Sumo Paint
http://www.sumopaint.com/app/

Similar to pixlr but no integration with other hosting sites. They do provide their own hosting service for which you need an account (free I guess). Language support is not as extensive as pixlr but they have nice set of filters and better UI.

GeoProxy - a chrome extension to set proxy

2011-12-20T00:14:00.000-08:00

I spent last week developing GeoProxy, an extension to set proxy for chrome. GeoProxy will list proxies based on country you choose. You can then select any proxy from that list to be used with chrome. I use this extension to access sites like hulu which are geo-locked.

How does it work?

GeoProxy uses cross-domain ajax module to read xroxy site. It then searches for ip address of top ten proxies sorted in the order of latency. Localstorage, a HTML5 feature is used to store the proxy details on client-side. So user can know which proxy he is currently using. An option to unset proxy is provided to use direct connection instead of proxy.

Pretty simple.

Jquery is used to simplify coding. UI is kept as simple as possible. Check the source code here.

Download GeoProxy from here https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pooljnboifbodgifngpppfklhifechoe

Got an awesome website idea?

"That Girl In Yellow Boots" gets 3.5 from Ebert

2011-12-16T00:52:00.000-08:00

Excerpts from review -

"The film's value is in its portrait of Ruth, and her independence as a solo outsider in a vast, uncaring city. Kalki Koechlin, who co-wrote the script with her husband the director, Anurag Kashyap, creates a memorable woman who is sad and old beyond her years."

"This is Kashyap's third feature. He is said to be a leader of a growing independent film movement in India. I hope it prospers; a film like this provides a radically different view of India than you can find in the pleasures and excesses of Bollywood."

"They were correct to sense that the very presence of a young foreign loner in Mumbai was a good place to begin with a film."
