Slumdog Millionaire

Movies and Tuesday

Slumdog Millionaire (2008). One word: masterpiece.
Prepare for one hell of an emotional rollercoaster ride; delightful, bothering, funny, intense and just that pleasure to eavesdrop on such a colorful, tragic and romantic lives, it’s almost intoxicating, in the best way possible.

Gmail’s New Favicon

Internet and Squirt

I just noticed that Gmail Google has a new favicon. Blue, green, red and yellow(?). It’s best just to use the Gmail icon though. [EDIT] It goes back to the red mail when I logged in. [EDIT again] Turns out it’s sitewide.
