Shoot.fr just released a great little video of what can be hacked out of IKEA goods (I miss IKEA in India). So for all you guys who can get to an IKEA... you should check these out! :)
News - TEDx Talk by Trey Ratcliff
I like TED talks, but this one by Trey Ratcliff is great.... worth a watch! :)
Travel - Bhitarkanika, Odisha
Bhitarkanika in Odisha, is a lesser known national park, but well worth the visit if you are in the area. It is famous for The saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) with nearly 10% of them over 6 meters long. I found it fantastic for king fishers, and i was pretty much alone the whole day I spent there!

Quick-tips - Buying and selling used lenses!
Thinking of buying or selling used lenses... read this first! ;)
Camera lenses are expensive, and for most of us are the subject of dreams. One way you can facilitate achieving ownership of your dream lens is to buy second hand.
I have both bought and sold several second hand lenses. In all of my cases it has been successful and a joy to do. I get to give/receive and new bit of kit and meet some interesting people along the way.
Travel - Kabini in the monsoon
Kabini is one of my favourite wildlife destinations, and a location I have visited many times. It always has something to offer, but for me, the monsoon is a fantastic and highly underrated time to visit... the vibrant colours and greens are sensational! It is harder to spot the big game, but when you do, wow... the pics pop!
