About Me

Namaste! I am Arun, a 23 year old self confessed geek pursuing Masters degree in Information Science and Technology with an emphasis on Human-Computer Interaction at Missouri University of Science and Technology, Rolla .

I love technology especially in the area of Human-Computer Interaction. In fact I keep my ear pinned to the technology ground by following some really cool tech blogs and my reddit page.I also have a huge interest in “all things web” & and am a fan of usability .I also like to follow the startup scene and keep a tab on it by religiously reading my favourite news source Hacker News.

About this blog

This blog is my primary home on the web and is hosted on the awesome Media Temple grid server . Most of the articles that I write on this blog will focus on technology news, product reviews, startup scene and articles on usability.
