Life on Mars? Come on!
I came across this video a long long time ago, actually! I'm sure you guys must already know about this.
Apparently, a new picture from the rover on Mars shows a figure looking like a woman. To me, it just looks like a coincidence. A rock that was incidentally shaped like that... But who knows! Its an interesting video, nevertheless!

Heads Up
Okay, I'm going to be publishing all the drafts (whatever makes sense now, that is) in the next hour, so don't be surprised if you see a huge array of posts! :)
I'm a graduate!
Hello guys!
I am back! And I am here to stay... I think! ;)
I would like to share my good news with you guys. I have finally completed my master's degree - MS in Computer Science from Arizona State University. Woohoo!!!
I defended my thesis on Friday April 23rd, 2010. It went on pretty well, I guess. I was pretty nervous in the beginning, but later on, calmed down. And once it was over, I couldn't believe it! Three whole years!!! I don't think I am going to go to school anymore. At least not in the next 5 or 6 years!
I'm done! Imagine, continuous studying from nursery, prep 1, prep 2, from 1st to 12th grades, 4 years of Undergraduate College, and now 3 years of Grad School. Phew! 22 years of continuous studies! OMG! And I'm 25. (Ugh, I'm old!)
I still have a lot more stuff to do. So much paperwork and stuff. Its so exhausting!
So now, the next step, getting a job! Now lets see how that goes! Hope I get a job soon!
XOXO,
Purple Poise

Quick Updates!
Its been quite a long time, and I thought I'd just post a quick update.
I'm done with my thesis document (I think) and I am finally defending on Friday, April 23rd! Can't wait for it to be over with! Finally, I would graduate with my master's degree, after three whole years! Phew! I wondered if that day would ever come, but now, its soon approaching!
Another big thing is, I just got a Nokia N900!!!! Woot! And I simply love it! Well, most of you would be wondering what is an Apple fan like me doing with a phone that is not an iPhone, well, I have an iPod Touch that I got free with my Macbook last year, so I'm kind of bored with it! :) And I was a Nokia devotee before I even saw a Mac interface! =D So Nokia wins hands down for me! And with N900's multitasking and root access.... Aaah.. Root is the limit! Hehe! I simply love using the Terminal on my mobile! =D
Maybe after I graduate, I'd take to more serious mature writing than these kiddish (more girlish!) rants! What do you say?!!!
Ok, now back to preparing for my defense!
XOXO!

Need Facebook Users for an Interesting Study!
Hello Friends!
Finally, I'm back with something important to share!
I am working on my master's thesis which is based on the study of online social networks as motivational environments for promoting sustainable activity. For this study, I require participants to use the facebook application I have created, and answer a couple of short surveys.
The study spans a period of 1-2 weeks only. And you are required to use the application as much as you can during this period. The study ends on March 31st, and I would have to have gathered as much user activity as possible and is very essential for my graduation!

Below is a short description of the study and the relevant links. I would really appreciate it if you could help me with the study by being an active participant. :) Please feel free to forward this to as many people as you wish.
All that is required from the participants is that they should be a Facebook User, and interested in using a great new facebook application, for a period of 1-2 weeks.
A short description of the study is provided below.

Extreme Displays of Sustainability
Extreme Displays of Sustainability (EDS) is an initiative to study online social networks as motivational environments for promoting sustainable activity.
This study aims to find out basic statistics about different users' current sustainability awareness and activity, and compare the statistics of the same parameters after the use of the web application.
The study will be conducted in three phases:
1. The first phase contains a short survey of the participants’ awareness and current activities relating to sustainability, and what outcomes they expect from using the EDS application.
2. The second phase is the actual user activity on the application.
3. The third phase contains a survey of the participants’ sustainable activities after using the application, so as to see if the application helped them improve their sustainability awareness, sustainable activities and abilities to motivate other people to perform sustainable activities; thereby fulfilling the requirements for the study.
The link to the first phase survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/
The link to the application: http://apps.facebook.com/
(Please complete the survey before using the application!)
I appreciate your time and interest in the study.
Please feel free to send in comments!
