Fun with tennis

Did you watch US Open? It was a tennis feast, what with Djokovic playing well and impersonating other players for a bonus. What with Federer showing signs of vincibility and then again demonstrating his mental strength to go ahead and win, overcoming Roddick, Davydenko, and eventually Djokovic.

This was vintage stuff from the tennis players. I would be surprised if Djokovic continues to lose at the big stage. Sooner or later, he will win a grand slam. He has the talent, no doubt.

Watching Federer was really good. He is coolness personified. The way Fed handled pressure was fascinating. How good would it be if we all take a cue from Fed and try being cool in our day to day interactions. I tried it myself, and it works!

Wiki-collaboration

I have been following the brouhaha about global warming, and I decided to pitch in my bit. It is towards this goal, that I started collecting tips on been carbon neutral. Every once in awhile, I come across a tip to save energy, water, or some other resource. Wouldn't it be nice if we could keep track of all these tips and share them with other people?

Turns out that there are many wikihows on how to save energy in various ways. For instance, check out http://www.wikihow.com/Increase-Fuel-Mileage-on-a-Car. there are many such wikihows with a lot of useful information. Being a true believer in wikis, I edited a few of these and added a few tips myself.
