Spicynodes, spicy and interesting as it sounds…

Nowfal Ebrahim — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 03:02:32 +0000

SpicyNodes is a way to visualize online information that mimics that way that people look for things in the real world. Bits of information — such as text, links, photos, and other media — are placed into “nodes,” which are then linked together in an appealing interface that invites exploration. SpicyNodes can be used for everything from mind maps and content portals to organizational charts and lesson plans.

Phone Halo, a name is not what it always means

Nowfal Ebrahim — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 02:10:53 +0000

I had always wanted a device like this. Wanted the bluetooth controlled, aka – a distance defined from the bluetooth manager to the bluetooth device. This device is good for the purpose it is built, lost keys, wallet and anything that you can think about you would walk out without. The only thing you cannot walk out without is the smartphone itself.

When I had planned about creating a device like this, the purpose of that was completely of a different nature, I will be emailing the guys at Phone Halo and looking at how they could implement that. It would be great way to market that product into different verticals and a different audience.

This is a very cool product, it has just been demoed at DEMO, and Phone Halo is officially available for sale.

About our team

Nowfal Ebrahim — Tue, 31 Jan 2006 23:32:11 +0000

I am Neil Ack, a user who ends up with lots of problems with technology, whenever I come up with solutions to my problems I post it here to help people like me know what I know.

My goal is to hear what technology has to say to us, since it is not we who is driving technology now, it is!! technology who is driving us. Imagine, no technology! are we driving tech or tech driving us? I am trying to find answers.

You will be surprised as you read on about our team members on what all they do and how they give back to our community. I am glad to have all of them as a team of TechnoBlah.

We will soon be coming in print version too.

Hope this helps you all. If you have any comments please email me at

Mockingbird, a very deceptive word, but a great wireframe on the fly

Meenu Gupta — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 20:47:03 +0000

Some of us really want to see what an application or the flow of an application looks like before we spend a lot of time and money on it. Here is a quick and easy way to do it online. Decide, communicate, brainstorm and create your wireframe. Easy and user friendly.

The Last Lecture…he is Great Prof. Randy Pausch.

Meenu Gupta — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 00:43:52 +0000

“Almost all of us have childhood dreams; for example, being an astronaut, or making movies or video games for a living. Sadly, most people don’t achieve theirs, and I think that’s a shame. I had several specific childhood dreams, and I’ve actually achieved most of them. More importantly, I have found ways, in particular the creation (with Don Marinelli), of CMU’s Entertainment Technology Center of helping many young people actually *achieve* their childhood dreams.” – Randy Pausch

You can read more about him at The Last Lecture.

This will be one of our top most archived posts
