eeevah!- June 28, 2008 Watched Wall-E with friends yesterday. The theater was packed! We ended up sitting in the 2nd row, which is kind of like the IMAX experience but with a slightly shaky projector and slightly scarred retinas by the end. But anyway, overall comments: very cute!! Definitely worth the watch!http://arnab.org/blog/eeevah wallpapers and weekends- June 22, 2008 The McLeod Residence is a rather intriguing establishment, whose walls are adorned with laser-etched skateboards and a mosaic of Michael Jackson made out of cereal. The wallpaper for some reason reminded me of the wallpaper scene from Garden State. JPG Mag has a wonderful series by Michael O&8217;Neill inspired by the very scene:http://arnab.org/blog/wallpapers-and-weekends This blog is now brought to you by Microsoft- June 19, 2008 (from the internal intern mailing list, which is what happens when you let thousands on kids loose on an enterprise network)http://arnab.org/blog/this-blog-now-brought-you-microsoft status update- June 17, 2008 What I&8217;ve been up to: Making new friends: Most of the MSR interns I&8217;ve met are fun people, quite contrary to the nerdy bookworms people would imagine them to be.
