Extension for Google Chrome

Google introduced Chrome extensions, more or less like Toolbar plugins, that can be installed from their gallery. Extensions are like small software programs that run within your browser without having to open up a new browser. The beauty of these programs is that they are highly customizable and have all the features of a rich text HTML page. I wrote an extension myself (well, not really rewrite it from scratch) by extending one of my iGoogle gadgets Global Index Watch and I uploaded it to the Extension gallery. If you want to try it out, feel free to.

The Big Bang Theory

Recently, I watched an episode of "The Big Bang Theory" on my 15-hour long flight from India, and I should say I was instantly hooked on to it. The show, which is about geek humor, was so amazing that I wish I had more than 4 episodes on the flight's on-demand entertainment system. I always wondered why all the sitcoms are so stereotype and then I came across Seinfeld, which is the only show I loved till date. I think I watched almost all of the 180 Seinfeld episodes. Though I was not really bored with Seinfeld re-runs, I was looking for something thats as good as Seinfeld and looks like I found it now.. The Big Bang Theory is going to be a massive hit, and I can't wait for Mondays to watch it on CBS. I am now catching up all the past episodes online :) I hope The Big Bang Theory will go on for many more years to come..
