Technorati Top 100 – Crude Oil Insights
So before Technorati wakes up and tells me that it was all a cruel sad mistake and there is no way on this planet (or any other for that matter) that anyone sane is going to entrust me with a 550 rating, that too for a collection of really badly drawan excel graphs and equally…
And we are hot…Technorati top 100 here we are…
The crude oil insight blog, breaks into the first technorati top 100 lists with an authority rating of 550. I have no idea how the hell did that happens (I have a few sneaking suspicions). For a blog that started off in February and is still ranked with a page rank of only 2.0, the…
500,000 page-views, 4.5 years, three incarnations
I had been so busy with work, travel, travel, work and breaking the 3 dollar Adsense barrier that I completely missed a milestone I had been eagerly awaiting for the past few months.

My Adsense mis-adventure – Struggling to break 3 dollars a month – Part I
I thought I would fess up today and share the progress or lack of it made on the Google Adsense project in the first three months. If you have been following me around you know that around early February I decided to build a printing press for printing US dollars (or the money machine as…
Taking the weekend off or how the mighty have fallen
Some days you should just stay in bed and not get out at all. I woke up at my usual 3 am and realized that while I had long list of todo’s I really didn’t feel like working today. It took an enormous effort to head back to bed at 4 am and not feel…
More on Facebook, PTA and the LHC judgment
A friend wrote this and sent this onwards this afternoon. I think it deserves a wider audience than the mailing list it was circulated on. First publicize it, and then ban it “I learned a very important message at a young age when my friends and I couldn’t even bowl over arm. I was bowled…
