How often do I blog?

It was interesting for me to note my blogging statistics. 299 blog entries in 6 years. Close to 50 entries every year or 1 entry per week. I was very active in the first two years; then there was a lull for three years; finally, last year was an average year when it came to how frequently I blogged.

JDA completes acquisition of i2

The deal that fell through last year was finally closed this time. According to industry experts
JDA's acquisition of i2 would create a tremendous positive synergies for the two companies - i2 being strong in hi-tech and discrete manufacturing, and JDA in retail. It would create exciting opportunities for both the companies, with a combined customer base of over 6,000! It would be really good if i2's fortunes revive. i2 deserves to be a leader in SCM space. Let's hope things go well from here.

A good start to a new year

I don't party too much on new year's eve. After several years, it was a very enjoyable new year's eve this time. We saw Avatar in 3D IMAX at Pacific Science Center. The IMAX theater at Pacific Science Center is the largest IMAX in the world, with the screen as tall as a six storey building! It has 12,000 W of digital surround stereo. Although we were not the first to enter the auditorium, we were lucky to get seats exactly in the center.

The movie is a good, especially in 3D. Must see once. Generally I dislike sci-fi movies, movies on aliens with non-anthromorphic creatures. However, I enjoyed Avatar because it has extraordinary animation. The plot is decent, not great. 3D IMAX experience at Pacific Science Center is great!

After the movie we just hung around at Seattle Space Needle and saw new year's fireworks at the space needle. We got a good place to sit and eat aaloo paraThas that we had packed. The fireworks were short (about 8 minutes), but splendid.

On the whole it was a very enjoyable new year's eve. It reminded us of new year's eve of 2006, when we were in London. We had watched fireworks at London Eye.

Happy New Year!!

Wish you a very happy, prosperous and successful new year 2010!!
