ವಿಕಿ ರೀಡರ್ (WikiReader) – ಅಂಗೈಯಲ್ಲಿ ವಿಕಿಪೀಡಿಯಾ
ಆನ್ ಲೈನ್ ವಿಶ್ವಕೋಶ ವಿಕಿಪೀಡಿಯಾ ಯಾರಿಗೆ ತಾನೆ ತಿಳಿದಿಲ್ಲ. ವಿಶ್ವದ ಜನರ ಎಲ್ಲ ಜ್ಞಾನವನ್ನು ಮನುಷ್ಯನ ಅಂಗೈಗೆ ಉಚಿತವಾಗಿ ಎಟುಕುವಂತೆ ಮಾಡುವ ಈ ಒಂದು ಯೋಜನೆ, ಈಗ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಬೆರಳುಗಳ ಒಂದೆರಡು ಕೀಲಿಗಳನ್ನು ಕುಟ್ಟುವಷ್ಟೇ ದೂರ ಅಲ್ಲವೇ?
ಮಕ್ಕಳ ಶಾಲಾ ಚಟುವಟಿಗೆಗಳಿಂದ ಹಿಡಿದು, ಪ್ರಯೋಗ, ಅಧ್ಯಯನ ಇತ್ಯಾದಿಗಳಿಗೆ ಬೇಕಾದ ಸಂಕೀರ್ಣ ವಿಷಯಗಳನ್ನು ತನ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ಅಡಗಿಸಿಟ್ಟುಕೊಂಡಿರುವ ವಿಕಿಪೀಡಿಯಾ ಈಗ ಆಫ್ ಲೈನ್ ಆಗಿ ಕೂಡ ಸಿಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಅಂದರೆ ಇಂಟರ್ನೆಟ್ ಇಲ್ಲದೆಯೂ ಎಲೆಕ್ಟ್ರಾನಿಕ್ ಪುಸ್ತಕದ ಮೂಲಕ ವಿಕಿಪೀಡಿಯಾ ಎಲ್ಲಿಬೇಕಾದರೂ, ಯಾವಾಗಲಾದರೂ ಓದಬಹುದು. ಮಕ್ಕಳನ್ನು ಅಶ್ಲೀಲ ಲೇಖನಗಳಿಂದ ದೂರ ಕೂಡ ಇಡಬಹುದು. ಅದನ್ನು ಸಾಧ್ಯವಾಗಿಸಿರುವುದು – ವಿಕಿ ರೀಡರ್!
ಭಾರತದಲ್ಲಿ ಸಿಗುವಂತಾದರೆ ೩ ಲಕ್ಷಕ್ಕೂ ಹೆಚ್ಚು ವಿಕಿ ಲೇಖನಗಳ ಭಂಡಾರ ನಮ್ಮ ಕಿಸೆಯಲ್ಲಿ…
Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge.

Shri. Nagesh Hegde releasing Krushi Sampada e-magazine @ Institution of Agricultural Technologists
It’s a special day (21st September) for all of us from Sampada Community and Krushi Sampada team (https://krushi.sampada.net).
Our favorite technology writer, Nature Lover Shri Nagesh Hegde released Krushi Sampada E-Magazine‘s 1st edition this morning in an event called ‘Agriculture, ICT and Community‘ (‘ಕೃಷಿ, ಮಾಹಿತಿ ತಂತ್ರಜ್ಞಾನ ಮತ್ತು ನಾವು’) presented by Sampada Foundation in collaboration with Centre for Internet and Society, Bangalore and Institution of Agricultural Technologists.
This is one of the first e-magazine to be released under Creative Commons Attributes Share Alike (CC BY-SA) License in Kannada.
After releasing the e-magazine Nagesh Hegde spoke and explained the need of taking technology and facilities to the farmers. He gave us lots of pointers to reach out to people who are in real need of ICT’s in rural areas.
Shri Addoor Krishna Rao, who is heading the team of Krushi Sampada shared his experiences with the gathering.
Hpn and myself tweeted live from the venue and the queries raised in twitter (could be found under #esampada tag on twitter) took along the discussion with great spirits..Hopefully we will be able to upload the talks and the discussion as a podcast soon on ‘Krushi Sampada’ portal, so that all of those who couldn’t make it to the event today can listen to it.
First edition of Krushi Sampada e-magazine is now available on https://krushi.sampada.net . Feel free to download it and share it!
On behalf of Sampada, We thank each and everyone for their support and encouragement in making this event a success.

Citibank reward points and Books
I received these two books today from Citibank as I had redeemed my Suvidha account reward points.
Nine on Nine by Nandita C. puri -> Costs 150 Rs.
The Inscrutable Americans by Anurag Mathur -> Costs 95 Rs.
This price is as per MRP found on the books. Can you guess how many reward points I might have spent to buy these two books? Nope its not 245 Points. Almost 700/750 points… hmm true. I was made a fool out of this reward program. They are making profit out of my reward points too.
