A beautiful article written artfully with a very interesting analogy, that manages to convey the meaning in a light-hearted manner.

It had been so long since I played Dangerous Dave... YooooHooooooo!!!!!!

Cool open-source applications

Was looking around for some open-source applications for my Mac & found 2 cool apps -
  • Cashbox - A great & simple tool to maintain your personal accounts. Switched from my Text files immediately. Needs more work on reports and export facility, but can work with it for now.
  • Freemind - A cool tool, something even I was thinking of creating, for putting down my ideas in a structured form (but in a quick and simple way).
The more I search, the more better software I find for my Mac :) giving me more & more reason, to never think of going back to my PC.
