What is not evidence!
In most discussions that I have with people of fervent religiosity, one thing that frustrates me is the lack of basic understanding of what constitutes as evidence. So, today I found this gem of a list in the comment section of a blog. It is a pretty comprehensive list of types arguments usually used from…

Who is she/he?
Today evening, when I got back from work, we found her/him in our backyard. First I thought this was a ground hog, but in closer inspection, it looks more like an overgrown rat. Can anyone identify?

Bhoopalee, lasya mohini…
Oh yes, I know it is quite cheesy. But I couldn’t resist the pun. Anyways, I have a kind of love hate relationship with Bhoopali. When we were young, my sister and I had this music teacher, who spend a lot of time in that good old Mohana Varnam. It still leaves a bit of…

Remember, in most space sci-fi thrillers, mining colonies in asteroid belt is a common story line. It looks like instead of rare, exotic materials like Naquida or…

Future of Delphi, VCL.Net and WxF
I have been reading a lot of articles about the recently published Delphi Roadmap. It was interesting to see so many people happy to know there is an actual Roadmap for Delphi. Codegear(Borland) has been extremely tardy and unprofessional during the last few releases of Delphi. Delphi 8 was a total disaster, D2005 was only…
