Swami Vivekanand Speech (Audio)

Listen to the speech given by Swami Vivekanand at Chicago in 1893.

Follow the link

There is some discussion regarding the authencity of voice (not speech content) in the audio. Its not sure if it is Swami Vivekanand's voice. Nevertheless, I think the message is more imortant then the voice.

Enjoy!

Google Page Creator

I used google page creator to make some webpages. Putting up a webpage is a piece of cake now. Some may argue that it is TOO simple. I think it serves well the masses or layman who know nothing about HTML, Java, ASP, AJAX and whatever, whatever. Its good that people who quickly wants to put up something on web, can do so without all the hassle of HTML. I just hope that in future Google allows advanced users to make more sophisticated changes.

The best part of the service is not only the ease of creating webpage but also a webhost. Yahoo also have similar type of service ...but I always find yahoo to be too cluttered.
For now, only flaw with the Goolge Page Creator is the way it points to the webpages. It uses http://username.googlepages.com and in the process reveals your Gmail username. This might be an open invitations to spammers. They as well as us needs to watch out.

Anyways, I still went ahead and created something. Ideas are welcome. Visit it at
