I am This GOD

Borrowed from the microsoft site

"Congratulations!!! You are a proud member of the Norse Pantheon. Siding with the Norse puts you in the realm of the honor-bound, valiant warrior gods who are only strengthened by adversity. Never say die! Too much vision can lead to depression, but even though you and your fellow gods know your world is eventually doomed, your goal is to build your empires, fight your enemies and party with the greatest gusto you can muster up until the twilight of the gods. Your stunning Norse landscape of icy mountains and fjords, mysterious forests and rushing rivers will inspire you to great deeds of heroism.

A sneaky trickster, Loki is always feeling slighted by the other gods and determined to take revenge. Identifying with Loki can mean you have a good feel for the strengths and weaknesses of a situation or a system and intuitively know how to turn things to your own advantage. Your Loki power of persuasiveness and dis-information (deceit) contributes to success in psychological warfare, gaining unexpected allies, and unifying rabble and rogues to your cause. Beware of being tricked yourself.

God Power: Spy: Target on an enemy unit to secretly see what he sees.

To learn more about your god-like tendencies and put your powers to work, play Age of Mythology!"

Age of Mythology

Having played this game, I became interested in knowing about the GOD's !

Greek Gods.

As of now, I am mesmerized by the Greek mythology.

Having read about the Greek bhagwan, and the way the game has been created, I can just clap in acknowledgement.

(This (AOM) game is not new.Just that I played it after I was a bit saturated from playing the GREAT game of all times.. AOE. NO arguments regarding that. )

This pic borrowed from mythweb portrays the god's in great style.

Interested people can have a look at the site, which I feel is a very good source to know about the Greek Mythology.

And do take this quiz.

Second Life

I was born in my Second Life, sometime in the last month .. 

What a journey it has been, simply exploring !

IBM has come up with an online virtual gaming scenario called a second life. After the Internet Boom , everybody felt that INTERNET was at its peak, and that all the euphoria surrounding it would subside hereon. But that was not to be with Web 2.0

Here IBM has come up with what could be the next level of Internet, 3-D Internet.

I come alive in my second life only on weekends, to visit places that are VIRTUAL, to meet people who have their avatar's, to be at a non polluted beach, to fly high in the sky ( literally ), and all.

I had played a game called PlayBoy , which had similar avatar's and the interaction was a lot of fun. I feel *this* innovative concept to be borrowed from them, just that this SECOND thing ( in all aspects ;-) of innovation and life ! ) is online.

Love of Precision

Precision :

Highly respected quality ?

Rare ingredient ?

The questions in this respect also seem to be very imprecise .

"A human being is (/should be) a student all through his life."

Googling this term for some inputs did not help me. Try out Precision

Looking at the first result by wikipedia links us to Accuracy & Precision ! and things like High Accuracy but low precision and vice-versa, making the matters more worse. Guys, I am trying to understand precision with accuracy !

I am going off track and not at all being precise with this post.

I always "try" to be precise, but do end up where I don't wish to be, because may be I wished imprecisely !

"Practice makes a man perfect."

Can one ever be a perfect human being ?
