1.30am and I am thinking

why the corporate world has not adopted RSS for internal communications (viz. broadcasts)… well the reason might be as simple as difficulty in getting people to look away from their email clients or lack of content.

I can very well see an effective application of RSS for the communications bit of Project Management - Review Notifications, Meeting Invitations, Events Calendar etc. One advantage over using email definitely is that it will be the receiver’s responsibility to receive the communication instead of sender’s responsibility to make sure that communication has gone to every stakeholder and that somebody important has not been missed out.

PS: I am a regular user of Bloglines and though MacUser has selected Google Reader over Bloglines as the reviewer prefers the Google Reader interface, I prefer Bloglines (because of its interface).

Let the game begin.

And your heart beat goes up after hearing this dialogue while watching the movie ‘Saw’ or rather the movie trilogy of ‘Saw’, ‘Saw II’, and ‘Saw 3′. Dr. Hannibal Lecter (’Silence of the Lambs’) will seem to be a very friendly person once you are through watching these movies. As goes with many of the sequels, the original always seems to be the best one and sadly, it is true even for this one. But that does not mean that the other two are not enjoyable. It just says that the original is just fantastic.

But ‘Saw’ is not for the faint-hearted. In fact, ‘Saw II’ and ‘Saw 3′ are brimming with too much blood and gore (more than necessary). The main character in the film is ‘Jigsaw’ who presents us with puzzles that result in either death or death (that is not a typo). And the suspense throughout the films makes these horror movies thoroughly enjoyable.

If you are a horror, suspense, or thriller movie fan; the ‘Saw’ trilogy is simply unmissable. And watching the movie one after the other in immediate succession in complete darkness is the best way to enjoy it.

Game over.
