On a quest to ending debt

Almost everybody I know has some kind of debt or another - whether it's paying for a car, house, or education. And I am no exception. "Broke as a Spoke" is the journey of Corrin on her quest to become debt free. She has loads of posts on practical ways to save money. However, she says that "I’m here to learn, not teach."

I don't understand how reading what she spent her money on could be interesting but it is.

Yoga is good for you

During my younger days in University, I was a yoga fanatic and I could do complex poses like the "Mayurasana" or the peacock pose with ease. I don't know why, but with time I got sucked into the corporate world and slowly lost Interest in yoga when it would have benefited me the most.

A few days back, me and my wife were talking about Yoga and I tried to show off some of the simple poses. I was shocked to find how stiff I had become - I couldn't even touch the tips of my hands behind my back, one arm above and other reaching from below.

It's quite funny that the growth of interest in this ancient Indian philosophy in recent years has renewed my Interest. I say philosophy because it is more than just bending your body into strange shapes. It about self control, meditation and much more.

I just came across this site. To illustrate that fact that, Yoga is not all about poses, this is a page about Pranayama, Breathing Exercises explained.

Go over to Yogawiz.com site and learn about the various health benefits and how to use yoga to heal various ailments. Believe me Yoga is good for you.

A little fish blogs

Karen calls herself "a little fish in a big pond" and she blogs at The Pond.

Like my blog, Karen blogs about almost everything (meaning that her blog doesn't have a theme). I am not sure about others but I personally prefer blogs without a theme. Blogs purely on technology or on automobiles can be pretty boring sometimes.

Going through her blog, I came across this post called Cracked Pots. Love the message behind this story. No one is perfect but you are special in your own way.

Battlestar Galactica fan

I haven't watched a single episode of Battlestar Galactica ever since I moved to the UK. Just learned that they have killed off Captain Kara "Starbuck" Thrace played by Katee Sackhoff on the TV series..

Got this piece of info while going through the Lubyvision blog. Chris, the owner of Lubyvison.com and another Battlestar fan, has decided that Starbuck is not dead and bases it on a few reasons.

FYI, Chris is the director at a summer camp in the Texas hill country.

JMH Techtronics blog

If you love reading about technology and electronics, then head on to JMH Techtronics blog. It's a relatively new blog but has a number of informative posts. His latest on promoting the Technorati Favorites badge sounds quite interesting and I might have a go as well.

BTW, JMH stands for Jimi Morrison's Head. The word Techtronics is something he made upand is simply the combination of the words Technology and Electronics.

Review of King Nomar blog

I am sure you have noticed that blogs on web development and those that offer advice on "how to make money on the net" are mushrooming everywhere on the blogosphere.

Sad to say but they are all beginning to look alike with the same advice, same news, etc. and only a few stand out. One such Web development Blog that caught my attention is Kingnomar.com. It the blog of a 20 years old web developer from the Netherlands.

Unlike other web development sites, this blog looks very eat and tidy and is not cluttered up with ads.

He has a number of interesting and useful articles. My favourite is titled "The Process Of A Domain Sale At Sedo", which has 377 diggs when I last checked. I too plan to sell some of my domains and have decided to go for Sedo.com. Yes, I was influenced by his post. Another post I found quite useful and was actually the first I read on his blog, is the latest post: "Why You Should Use Web Directories!". I had an online discussion with a friend on the same topic sometime back and he was of the opinion that web directories are useless because hardly anyone visits them. I guess I have to e-mail him a link to this post.

On the down side, most of Nomar's posts are on technology related topics and are quite long. Unless you are a geek like me, the blog might turn you off. So if you are looking for celebrity gossip, you better go somewhere else.

A termite inspector who blogs

The blogosphere has definitely made the World a much smaller place. Through blogs we are actually reading about and sharing in the lives of bloggers, who live literally on the other side of the globe.

Skeet’s stuff is the blog of a lady from Hawaii. The way she describes her job is quite amusing "this old gal crawls around under houses and examines bug poop for a living." She's a termite inspector.

Spent some time reading her old blogs. I don't know why but found one long post titled "Letters" particularly interesting and touching. Makes me reflect on myself. I realise that I haven't sent a hand written letter (not counting cards) for a long long time.

Check out her blog.
