This program was given to me by a friend. It is an awesome way to set background pictures in your gtalk chat windows. It also enables another feature that is sorely missed in gtalk. Emoticons! Yeah, you get loads of them with this theme. This is a nice way to add some color to your gtalk! 
Have fun!

Yay! I liked saying all these things about myself. I tag Venkat and Kishore.. gotcha!
My best friend at work, Rocky! I made many screenshots of his actions and put them together!
Kishore has tagged me and I am doing his bidding without kicking up a storm. People seem to hate tags.. I dont hate them so much.. They are not so bad..
I am thinking about… all the work that is piled up here and the Damocles’ Sword called deadline.
I said…”Fish!” That’s when I developed bipolar disorder..
I want to… look beautiful on October 16th. A very special day is coming up people!
I wish… I could eat roasted cashewnuts, Lays, Panneer and Cheese without gaining all those extra calories.
I hear… his voice in my head.
I wonder… Ah! This blog is called Wond’ring Aloud.
I regret… I never regret.
I am .. therefore I don’t think.
I dance… to Iron Maiden with my 3-year old niece. We bring the roof down. Of course audience not allowed. 
I sing… when it rains.
I cry… almost everyday. I am easily moved.
I am not always… conscientious. I can be found doing odd stuff in odd places at odd hours with odd people.
I make with my hands… Blogs. Phonecalls. Orgasms.
I write… as a rebel’s statement. Words and words are all I have..
I confuse… names and faces.
I need… javascript widgets.
And finally… I tag…Philramble, Shravan, Ganesh, Venkat.
I found the most incredible free wordpress host today.
I don’t know how many sites and forums I registered with before I found this treasure.
I went to blogsome.com, blogthing.com and freewordpress.com but they do not allow plugin installation.
I went to free web hosts like 110mb.com, 1500mb.com, 4000webs.com and byethost.com but my wordpress installation got screwed up every time.
I was at my wit’s end when I registered at www.blorc.com
They initially expect you to post in their forums a few times to see if you’re genuine. Worth all the wait. Goodness I managed to even import my entire wordpress.com blog in about 2 minutes with a plugin called wpxmlmigrate (You have to upload this on ftp). They allow themes and plugins through ftp access. It is awesome.. I have no words of thanks.
Million thanks blorc.

A hilarious post by a frustrated athletic trainer… but behind all the hilarity there is biting truth.
15 ways to become disgustingly fat, unfit, unhealthy and a physical mess « Keith Scott MS, ATC, CSCS
I hope all of you are capable of understanding irony. It seems there are some people who cannot.
The ability to comprehend sarcasm depends upon a carefully orchestrated sequence of complex cognitive skills based in specific parts of the brain. Yeah, right, and I’m the Tooth Fairy. But it’s true: New research details an “anatomy of sarcasm” that explains how the mind puts sharp-tongued words into context. The findings appear in the May issue of Neuropsychology, published by the American Psychological Association (APA).
Read about them here: How does the brain handle sarcasm?
