Yesterday was a happy day. A very happy day. One of my best friends, Kemanthi, renounced all worldly things and took a huge step in becoming a Buddhist bhikshuni. As part of the renunciation, she gave up her lay name and going forth will be known as Karunika. A name befitting her in any day. It was a really a ...
I finished playing StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty, a RTS masterpiece. This got me thinking about how far RTS's have come in two decades. Continue reading →
I won’t say much about this as there are millions billions of posts out there already about Steve Jobs passing away. I will just share this video with you. If you haven’t seen this, do take the time out to watch it. He was one of the greatest inventors of our age and his legacy will be immortal.
This weekend will see the super heavy weights of the Rugby world meeting to compete for the Bledisloe Cup. The All Blacks are currently ranked at the top of world rugby, closely followed by the Wallabies. So, as usual their meeting will be nothing short of spectacular. But, this match will be no ordinary Tri-Nations match. The setup is perfect. ...
So my picks for the RWC2011 quarter finalists was right on the money. The only hiccup was that the trusty Wallabies lost to the Irish. So my previous predictions for the knockout stage of the tourney are all messed up. I’m trying to save face and come up with some new winners. I’m gonna go for Ireland and France for ...
This year went by pretty quickly. This was a very active year for me. First and foremost, child rearing was a whole new challenge and a huge change of lifestyle. Nevertheless, this year I got up to more new things that I had in quite a while. At the start of the year, a few enthusiasts from my old Alma-mater ...
I was plesently surprised this week. The reason for this surprise relates to my YouTube account. Yes, I have a YouTube account which contains a great number of videos. A great number that totals upto three that is. These videos have been up there for a while and have not garnered much attention. Then suddenly this week I got some ...
It’s been pretty quiet on the rugby scene since the mighty blackness took their rightful place. But that is about to change ‘cos the six nations is around the corner and I for one m very excited. I’ve never paid close attention to the six nations and have been content with watching the tri nations until now. But while watching ...
The inter-school rugby season is in full swing back in the land of the lions. Unlike in previous years, this time we get to watch all the matches live as they happen thanks to http://www.thescore.lk/. Yes, in the past we had a similar website – thePapare.com – but while Papare continues to broadcast only selected matches, theScore is broadcasting all ...
I’m suffering from withdrawal right now. Facebook withdrawal that is. Yes! I quit Facebook. Hopefully for good. I have been considering it for quite a while now. Why? Well, it’s a combination of many factors. The constant and unwanted changes to the layout, the ever changing security policies, the repetitive copy paste status updates, everything Sayy talks about here, most ...
I know it has been a lot of Rugby related posts from me recently, but here is one more. So, my predictions here and here were a bit off and of course there’s still the matter of the winner to be decided this weekend. So far, I got the Australia v Ireland match and Wales v Ireland match results wrong. ...
There is a huge uproar in the land of the lions about the Advanced Level results being completely unreliable. So, I thought I’d add my 2 cents on the subject. Disclaimer: I did study math at uni, but I’ve forgotten all most of it and I took only one stat class. So, I will keep it simple – that is ...
I try to listen to TED talks whenever possible. I must admit that I don’t do it often enough. Today, I thought I’d share some of the good ones that I have seen. I like this one since it’s about gaming and how it can be productive. Although I am an ardent fan of video games, I never got the ...
My good friend Sayy and few others are working on a new initiative. This is something very interesting and has a lot of potential, so I thought I’d spread the word. Have a looksie when you get a chance. http://sayys365.blogspot.com/p/yarl-it-hub.html
Yesterday (15-07-11) we witnessed history being made when Vidyartha College met St. John’s College at Nittawela. Vidyartha were able to break the the Sri Lanka schools record for the highest total in a match by scoring 203 unanswered points. To avoid any possible confusion I will point out that it was a Rugby match. It was a great day for ...
I am. Are you? I’ve finally watched Thor and Cap’n America: The First Avenger thereby completing the five lead up movies to The Avengers movie which will come out next year. If you weren’t living under a rock for the last few years, you would know that other three movies involved are The Incredible Hulk and Iron Man I & ...
