Written by Jai on December 23, 2007 – 5:25 pm - 26,221 views“Simplicity is the key to brilliance”
- Bruce Lee (American actor and a martial arts expert).
Bruce Lee believed in this fact and so do I. Therefore, I have named my new WordPress theme as Brilliance. This is a 3-column, widget ready theme with soothing colors and design. The theme also has provision for an adsense block in the third column where you can put your adsense code (just edit the adsense.php file).
I hope you all like it and would love to hear your feedback on this WordPress theme.

Written by Jai on December 16, 2007 – 6:15 am - 3,331 views
Finally, I have decided to join the race. You might want to know which race am I talking about. Well, I am talking about the race of the bald bloggers. On the occasion of this blog crossing the 1000 readers bar , I decided to shave my head today and suddenly remembered that many of the popular bloggers are actually bald (Darren Rowse, Jeremy Schoemaker).
So, if you also want to join this bald bloggers’ race, shave your head and tell me about it 
I know that you love your locks but you only qualify if you are bald. If you are a female…I would say…go for it. You might set a trend.

As the news spreads, reaching a wider audience and suffering a further push from other bloggers, who so generously elected to share the same piece of information, the article creates the so called viral effect. What was once a simple static piece of information, now has gained life and spread all over the internet. Read more
