New Zealand Beauty

I am in New Zealand on a holiday and over the weekend I went to Mt. Taupo or Snow Mountains as people call it here.

Yes, it was my first time seeing snow and it was awesome playing in it. We were sliding down the mountain slopes on a slide and the feeling was just awesome. I enjoyed every moment of it and am enjoying every moment here in New Zealand.

I had to share some beautiful photos I took on this trip, so here it is.
This is a photo of snow mountains from a distance.
This photo I took at Huka Falls. The water at Huka Falls goes at a very rapid speed and you are left wondering how can water be so fiery and fast?

Microsofts Experimental Search

Heard of Tafiti Search? What is this you ask?

According to Microsoft ...
"Tafiti, which means "do research" in Swahili, is an experimental search front-end from Microsoft, designed to help people use the Web for research projects ..."

This search site is built in the Microsoft Silver Light platform ... a much proclaimed competition for Flash (a Google search will tell you much about Silver Light)

This project demonstrates what applications can be brought to life using the Silver Light platform.

Although still in beta Tafiti features some real nice eye candy and features.

To see Tafiti Search in action and to find out the power behind this search interface look at this video:
