For free Wifi?? A Swiss couple named their baby girl Twifia in response to an ad challenge from an internet service provider called Twifi. They will now have free Wifi for 18 years. Granted, it’s only her middle name they did this to. I supposed it could have been worse. Guess who’ll be disowning her middle name the very first chance she has?! Also, how come Jio hasn’t picked up this idea yet?
If you’ve read about the Underground Railroad, you might enjoy this article about a historical dig in the area. If you’d like to know more about the Railroad, this is a good place to start. Sorry about the loud ads!
If you’re more into aliens and astronomy than history, here’s a Carl Sagan video about how to send a message to an alien life form.
Need a laugh? Here’s a video about Excel and the UK govt’s Covid data losses that should make you smile.
This was the quietest Dussehra I can remember. It’s been a year of re-prioritization, and realignment for so many. That said, hope you had a fun Pujo/Dashmi/Navratri and any other celebration that I might have forgotten about :-)
I’m reading
This is Marketing by Seth Godin. It’s definitely right up there amongst the top 10 books you should read if you are, or want to be, a smart marketer today. I’m only half-way through it so far but I know I’ll be coming back to re-read marked passages.
I’m watching
A Suitable Boy, the Mira Nair mini-series version of the book. Setting aside the question of whether the storyline works, I’d say the best part of the series is the way they managed to recreate the 1950’s in terms of locations and costumes.
