Barcodes

Ever wondered what the black and white lines are behind every other stuff u buy from the supermarket??
well check this out. Gives you all you ever wanted to know about the stuff.
In addition, it also gives your barcode number. Time is not far when each one of us would have a barcode:)) You would just have to go through a scanning machine in any shop you enter and if its clothes - all your size n specifications get displayed to the salesperson and if its a restaurant, prob. all ur health problems and dietary regulations would be displayed:)) Interesting, aint it:)????

Gunners shoot and The Magician flops!!

Last night, i stayed up till 2:30 watching the Champions League.
Both the matches started off at the same time and i was in a dilemma which one to watch - Barca v/s Benfica
- Arsenal v/s Juventus

For the first 5 min, i just kept flipping between channel 27 (Star Sports) and 52 (ESPN). Just 5 min and the decision was as simple as it could be...i watched the former with glimpses of the second match in between!!!
The first match was a treat to watch esp since one of my fav. players - Ronaldinho -the magician. The way this dude has control over the ball, i dont think anyone else would have. Amazing reflexes, amazing tackles and fantastic passes!!! it was a treat to watch this dude play and combine this with the classic play of Deco accompanies by Eto and Larssen...i still wonder why Barca didnt score!!!!! They hit the bar like uncountable number of times - they hit the target so many times but nothing converted!! The commentators were very right in saying that Barca is playing like a millionaire with lots n lots of money (shots on the goals in this case) to throw around. I hope they dont regret the wasted chances in the next leg in barcelona!! This is one team outside the EPL that i really admire. Irrespective of whether they score or not, they play entertaining football. What a team!!
Full credit to Moretto though. This guy came up with some amazing saves and fantastic reflexes!!!
The second match - as expected - was pretty dull. Guess Juventus was trying to play too defensive!!Juventus just had 1 shot on the arsenal goal while arsenal had around 8 of which 2 were converted into goals!!
As always the clinical finisher Henry was in his top form and even Fabregas coming up pretty well off late!! In fact Arsenal as a team is coming together pretty good now. Have to wait and see how they fare in the next season of EPL!!!
Cant wait for 2006-07 season to start - Chelsea domination slowly seem to be dwindling while the old race horses - ManU, Liverpool and Arsenal -seem to be finding their lost form back!!
And more importantly just counting days for June 9th!!!
