The Nortel Story

This seems to be never ending (http://www.unstrung.com/document.asp?doc_id=179442&).
But would be good if RIM takes over Nortel (more employment opportunities).

Learnt about SVN. Free tool with disastrous potential. Hopefully, we will be spared.

Started my music studies a couple of days back. Got the book on Indian music as well. Looks good.
Have to deciede for keyboard or guitar .... tough one.

Have decieded to do some volunteering as well. No reply as of yet. But I am hopeful.

Particle physics is going good. However, Kane did not dwell much on SuSY. May be I have to check with Gribbin.

The Lucifer Project

Heard an interesting podcast on the Lucifer project @ 365 DoA. Well, the conspiracy theorists can think of anything. But the discussion on RTG was enlightening. Google it!

Also, came to know about home planetarium. I wish I had one when I was a child (though I don't really think its too late). If you fancy one try out the Sega Homestar ones. They seem to have good reviews.

Particle physics study is taking interesting turns. Supersymmetry discussions are close and hope to be an interesting ride!

Cool Particle Physics

Went to the library and got a copy of 'Particle Physics' by Gordon Kane. Quite nice book. But seems the author had made up his mind before writing the book as to if electrons and quarks are the fundamental particles in nature. Have gone through only 2 chapters as of yet. Hope to finish soon :).
