Old wine in a new bottle*

I came across this new Wordpress theme called iTheme. It had the magic words in it’s description “Mac like”. Once I’d read those words I had to try it out. It also supports Widgets a customisable side bar. Still playing around with it.

In other news it good to know Navin & Vidya finally have broadband in their house. Navin’s started blogging again - he’s been off line since moving to Hyderabad. Now all that’s remaining is for Vidya to start again ;-)

*I’ve always wondered about the saying “Old wine in a new bottle”. Personally I’d choose this over “New wine in an old bottle!”. :-D

. . . so starts Guy Kawasaki in a blog post of his titled Hindsights and continues with nine other points. It’s a Commencement address he’s given several times but it’s really worth a read. It reminds me of Steve Job’s Commecement address at Stanford - not surprising considering that Guy was part of the original team that created the Macintosh. His entire blog contains a lot of interesting posts. Of particular intrest are his suggestions on Venture Capital funding (Guy heads a VC comapny). I found it particularly interesting - last year Raghu & I were unsuccessful in getting VC funding for our company. More on that in a later post.
