There’s something about Vande Mataram as a poem, a song or just the two words by themselves. But this album - Vande Mataram - An Electronic Exploration just blew my mind. That sample should prove that you guys ought to grab it. The link is for Virgin Digital, but I am sure there are other places you can pick it up as well.

Digg.com Link - A man was arrested for using a smudged $2 bill at Best Buy in Maryland, USA. It took the Secret Service to determine that the bill was legitimate. This is hilarious!

There has been a lot of talk about PayPerPost ever since they launched. Backed by Draper Fisher Jurveston with $3 million in funding, they are a controversial new service where bloggers can choose what companies, products or services to talk about by selecting the right ‘opportunity’ from PPP.

PayPerPost has changed they way they deal with the ethical dilemma and become clearer about their disclosure requirements.

I wonder if I should give it a go.

Jangl.com (in beta) has gotten a lot of attention and even made it to the 2007 Connected Innovators. But I don’t get this service. I signed up, my sister in the UK signed up. I got a number for her and she got a number for me. We both set our preferences to go to Phone. However, everytime I call the number I got for her email address, it goes directly to voicemail. Same for her.

I have been trying to figure out what am I doing wrong, checked out their support pages and everything. The idea is for people to not have to disclose their phone numbers, but shouldn’t they at least connect as the website claims they can?

There’s much to be said about cooking with love. I have never baked in my life before. Did this with my little tiny beautiful handsome son and somehow everything seemed to be better. Love rules.

Recipe:

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature

2 large eggs
1-1/3 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/10 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla

1. Beat butter until soft, about a minute.
2. Add sugar. Beat on medium-high until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
3. Add eggs one at a time, beat for 30 seconds between each.
4. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Add to mixer bowl. Add the milk and vanilla. Mix to combine.
5. Scoop into cupcake papers about half to two-thirds full (depending on whether you want flat or domed cupcakes).
