This blog has been so neglected that I am not even sure if anyone will read this post.
Six months have elapsed since I wrote about the challenges for 2010. It is painfully obvious that blogging is taking a back seat to social networking. However, that is not the complete story.
Time and again, I have mentioned that for …

Blogging Highlights of 2009, Challenges & Thoughts for 2010
This is a good time to look at the highlights of 2009, and share some thoughts about the future.
Highlights Of 2009
This has been a busy year. 75 posts on An Unquiet Mind in 2009 with about 1,500 comments! 46 posts at MakeUseOf.com and 30 on my newly started tech blog, Skeptic Geek, both of which involve …
Timeless vs Real Time
If I were a book, you will put me in a bookshelf after you’ve read me. Later, I’ll probably lie in an attic and find my way to a library. My life would span a few decades, or even more. If I’m exceptionally good, I’ll be a timeless classic.
If I were your personal diary, I …
An Unquiet Mind of A Social Geek
Take a look at these numbers:
This is my 267th post.
There are 2962 authentic comments on this blog.
My posts have 203 tags in 39 categories.
Total views crossed 100K quite a while back.
These numbers usually don’t mean much to me. But I always use a trick while climbing a mountain. When I am exhausted and feel like I can’t go …
My Online Social Map Visualization
A few weeks back, HyperActiveX asked me something on Twitter.
“What is your data flow? Have you mapped it yet?” or something to that effect. This had been on my mind for quite a few months and I always pushed it to the back burner. Quadrant I vs. Quadrant II. The usual story.
But his tweet pushed …
Pune Blog Camp 2: Reflections
Many folks asked me for an update on Pune’s Blog Camp, after the previous photo-post. How was the experience? Was it worth it? Who was there?
Not being diplomatic, I can say that the experience was an interesting one for me, with positives and negatives. I had never been to any blog camp, bar camp, or Tweetup …
Blog Camp Pune 2: Photo Post
Here are some photographs I managed to click at Blog Camp Pune 2 when I could disengage myself from the talks. Snaps are hosted on Flickr, please click to get higher resolutions. My thanks to all the ‘un’-organizers of the event for making this such a flawlessly smooth event!
Writing for MakeUseOf.com
A lot of things have been happening at An Unquiet Mind. A journalist quoted me in the Hyderabad edition of The Hindu. AUM is now on Twitter here and you can see my tweets in the sidebar.
I have been chosen to contribute to MakeUseOf.com on a trial basis. I have loved MUO since a long …
Web Graveyard
Very few people I know blog about death. It is not a pleasant subject, and essentially, one reads blogs to be happy. But let’s face it, death is very real. Though cyberspace was once known as the virtual world, it is becoming increasingly real, and the overlap between online and offline is getting increasingly complex.
As …
Intellectual Blogger Award Update
As Paul points out, the Intellectual Blogger Award is gaining traction thanks to the gracious and kind support of remarkably intelligent bloggers. I thought it would be a good idea to maintain a list of the awardees at a central place for reference. This list would be like an Intellectual Bookshelf — a rich and …
