I discovered google charts api via jeremy’s blog. I have to agree with jeremy. This is a pretty cool api. I wonder how easy it is to hook up the google finance data to this api. I suppose like all financial data, the difficulty might be in the contracts relating to (re)distributing financial data and not the technical difficulty.
I started looking at code.google.com and found that they have tons of apis for various products. This is quite impressive. I like the Ajax Search API, Android, and Open Social APIs as well. One lesser known api that i wanted to use is Safe Browsing API. I always wanted to build a safe browsing plugin for firefox and IE. May be someday.

I posted about aamir khan blog couple of months back. At that time his blog was on lagaandvd.com. Since that time he moved his blog over to AamirKhan.com. Strangely, he ends his old blog without any reference to plans of moving over to new site. It took me by surprise, but i found his new blog.
