Null PointerA brilliant (sic) coalesce of Technology (where the emphasis is on Java), Internet, Blogging, Indic-blogging, current-affairs, politics, entertainment industry and topics that concern India.Interesting findings- September 28, 2005 MIT Media Laboratory has this interesting Survey going on, click the image to take it. Though the results would change as more and more people take the survey, here are some interesting findings on the Blogging scenario:There are more female bloggers than male (did you expect that)While people started blogging as early as 1996, the surge has been between 2002-2004.Majority of bloggers are in the age-group 23-25.Most of the bloggersmaintain a single blogread 10-25 blogs everydaydon't know how...http://www.jroller.com/debashish/entry/interesting_findings Tanmay is 3 today- September 27, 2005 Today my son Tanmay is 3 years old.
