Twenty Years Gone

Twenty years of my life were lost in Time. Yeah! I became 20 today, finally leaving my teenage behind. But I really miss my childhood as everyone do... I was reading Carl Sagan's 'Cosmos' recently. There are some discussions about Time and possibility of time travel . Though, traveling into the future is theoretically possible there is currently no known way to visit the past. That is, once you go into the future you cannot come back to present. Traveling into the future is possible due to the ' time dilation ' effect of the Theory of Relativity. When you travel at a speed comparable to the speed of light your time seems have slowed down with respect to the people on earth. But you will measure time as it is. So, if you return to earth few weeks later after such a journey you will probably find several centuries have been passed on earth, thus landing into the future. I am wondering if Time travel can be a reality in my lifetime.

My First Google Gadget - Tic Tac Toe

For the last few days I am trying to learn the Google Api at Google Code . I found the AJAX Search API , AJAX Feed API and the Google Gadgets API very interesting and easy to use. With only html and some javascript knowledge you can build elegant dynamic search or feed units as well as gadgets. I am already using the AJAX search and AJAX feed features in my websites and my blog. And here is my first gadget I am trying to write using Google Gadgets Api . It is the simple game of Tic Tac Toe . It is not completed yet ( as of 2nd Jan,2008 ). There are functions still to be implemented.
