The Blog

The undistputed King of Pop who never wanted to get old, much less die, has died relatively young at the age of fifty. Blogosphere is probably abuz with this story as sudden as it happened with a report of a heart attack in the morning. Life is so unpredictable!

I just installed a new WP application for the iPhone which makes it super easy to blog. Now I should be able to blog even more as long as I have stuff to write about. It’s amazing how ubiqutous & easy it has become. I remember the early days of the Internet (God that makes me sound old) when it was so hard to update a web page (this is before blogging was invented).
