A Quick Om Update

Om Malik | Friday, August 15, 2008 | 7:30 AM PT | 17 comments

I just want to give you a quick update on why posting might be slow today. I have been researching some big stories, and I need to sit and think about all the information I have gathered and make sense of it all. On top of that, I need to prepare for WordCamp 2008, which is being held in San Francisco this weekend.

Typically, Stacey would fill in, but she is taking a well-deserved computer- and connectivity-free rest. Furthermore, after writing furiously for the past couple of days, I am giving myself a little pause. Of course, all that goes out the window if something major unfolds. To all our readers in India, Happy Independence Day. I miss flying kites with my mates.

As you know, we have great stuff on our network, and here are some highlights from this morning:

Cool, Om, more photos of Crash! The first day you posted about him, I kept the photos up. He was certainly great for my moral during that hectic workday.

Believe me, Crash is *extremely* well named! We should make a hit viral video of his antics.

Happy Independence Day. Kite flying and Holi are the most fun. We celebrate kite flying every year in April/May when the sun comes out although the festival is in Jan. Most welcome to join us :)

Cheers.

India’s Independence day is a reminder of what can be achieved by out of the box thinking while being firmly grounded in our core ethical beliefs.

@ Om: Good to see you are balancing things, despite still being a workaholic. Apka Kyal Rakna. Don’t forget Om 3.0.

Om,

I got to fly kite after so many years as I am back in India now. I actually had fun flying kites which landed on my homes terrace from a kite fight(pecha ladana).
