Fall Colors

For man, autumn is a time of harvest, of gathering together. For nature, it is a time of sowing, of scattering abroad. ~Edwin Way Teale

Being Social..

The interesting part is the message at the bottom-right corner of the pic. -- "Happiness is... being up to date".

I'm sure the message has several interpretations. But in the context of this tech-savvy world, Facebook/Twitter/Blogs have striven to help people experience it.

People (some of them still consider such things as utter nonsense/waste of time) spend more than 10% of their time on such social engagements in the cyber world. Considering an average of 85 years (minus ~10-12 years of childhood and ~10 years of old-age) that's ~6 years of our Lives!

Now, that's some food for thought.

Learning += Fun;

I like the humor here ..

... if we want to hear the sound of a dog without getting emotionally attached, we can create (instantiate) an ephemeral, temporary dog, and coax a little noise out of it before it disappears.

prompt> (Dog.new).speak # or more commonly, Dog.new.speak
Bow Wow

"Wait," you say, "what's all this about the poor fellow disappearing afterwards?" It's true: if we don't bother to give it a name (as we did for pochi), automatic garbage collection decides it is an unwanted stray dog, and mercilessly disposes of it. Really it's okay, you know, because we can make all the dogs we want.

Seriously, I'd love to have dogs if the aforementioned operations were true in the real world.

Jai Hind !!
