After spending a good time with my Macbook, I have decided that its time to sell it. I am selling it for $1250 CDN + shipping. If you are in Ottawa or GTA area than we can arrange a pickup/dropoff location and save on shipping.

Enough said. Your brand needs to be consistent.

It is not that we have a short space of time, but that we waste much of it. Life is long enough, and it has been given in sufficiently generous measure to allow the accomplishment of the very greatest things if the whole of it is well invested.
The path to wealth is not the love of money. If you want to be rich one day fall in love with a business that you own. Be passionate about its success and love it like you would a child. Don’t worry about getting rich, that is something that happens while you are not watching.
A nice reminder for myself on why I am interested in startups.

Yesterday, I woke up to a nice surprise. Cricinfo had launched a redesign of their website. I had a mixed reaction to the change. Cricinfo is the largest cricket website on the web. Below is a quick overview of the traffic statistics for Cricinfo.com
So what is good or bad about the new design?
The Good:
1. Improved navigation bar. The top navigation bar is a bit of a relief to find your way around cricinfo. Previously, these options were buried under a pile of other useless stuff, making it hard to use the website to the fullest.
2. News and video highlights. The core of the site is the instant news about the cricketing world, and they have done an excellent job in highlighting that part of the website. Making it easy to gaze over the latest news and consume it.
3. Scores. A bit mroe detailed score right on the right-hand panel. Makes my life much much easier.
4. Scorecard. Beter colors and layout. The ugly toolbar on the left is gone (woho!) and it gives the actual scorecard a bit more breathing room.
The Bad:
1. Hard to focus on certain portions of the website. I think the background gradient distracts the reader. A boxed container to overlay the gradient would have helped a lot.
2. Scorecard. The tabbed navigation is just over used. Everything is crammed on a single page and tabs are used to organize them. Tabs within a tab ain’t good for usability. Another nifty idea, gone wrong is the commentary along with the batsmen dismissal. I think this is a neat feature but gone wrong. So far, for me, in a live game this info is always wrong.
Overall:
I think this is a positive step towards a nice redesign. I am sure they will work on some of the quirks in coming weeks and fix it up.
