A tough cam for the trail xploits of your MTB

Just spotted the pentax optio w90 as an option for the rugged biker to capture the trail moments. At 160 gram and waTerproof/shockproof casing this is a killer. Indian price amounts to roughly 14k. The compromise is picture quality in long term with an exposed glass cover and a bit high end on price. I tried using my sony W 120 and to tell u the truth its a bit tough to handle. You miss out many details concentrating on not to let the fragile instrument fall.Or you get an hd mount or flip cam at around the same price.

Great Writing : When you say putting yourself into the shoes.

When I bought a copy of the rather tiny looking red badge of courage by stephen crane. A bit of research on the subject revealed that it was one of the greatest work on war fiction. For then nobody knew that the book written as an eyewitness account of the first world war by an amateur chap who makes a hasty decision to join the army was written by an equally amateur writer who hadn't even seen a single war,solely collecting pieces of information from war veterans. So if this can be a literary magnum opus then. I found something equally great today in purpose but diametrically opposite in approach. Inorder to write this book the author joins a NFL team as the quarterback and cuts out A sorry figure of himself in a series. The coaches knew of the hoax,players did'nt. But then the result is something quoted as greatest in sports writing. Mebbe not as the book talks less about actual sports but a great deal about how it happens in a team. Waiting for someone to do this in boxing too..... apologise for the typos.this tiny qwerty keypad of phone is no match for the gorilla fingers. Wink #thinkaboutfingering.

The smallest dj party combo just discovered.

Crashing at a former partner in crime's ghetto today evening. Just ran into this killer combo for a small scale dj party at ur place (iam not exxagerating) this is it. These BOSE mini bombs here. Will get u a considerable reading on ritcher scale. Skullcandy I needn't say much. And the dj app on ipod touch. Works like a charm. I am telling this guy. He can be a pro with a bit of effort. Total cost incurred. 250 dollarz.

Find of the day: buy or no buy?

If your dad was preparing for IAS (for non keralites) or used to have morning tea at tea joints in kerala .this one would bring back all the nostalgic snippets of 60s and 70s rushing back to him. Story of pothen josephs legendary daily column 'Over a cup of tea' and the legend himself. This would also trace the birth of many newspapers of the country. #perfect gift for the tea joint news party veterans.
