About Me
- Name: Sushant Bhatia
- Location: Tempe, Az
I work at CUbiC, the Center for Ubiquitous Computing at ASU. We are developing applications and devices for individuals who are blind. I personally am in charge of developing the iCare BookReader. This device will allow individuals who are blind to have print material read to them. The interface is intuitive and accessible. The process is much faster than using a scanner and our BookReader is quite feature rich. On a personal note, I love coding especially in .Net and C#.
My blog is about coding in .Net and about my interests in general. I love to read, esp Discworld novels by Terry Prattchet. I will post items about work, school, cool stuff and ideas for projects I have. If your ever interested in any of them, let me know as I would love to work on some of them.

Malawian President Quits His Party
This is the first time I've ever heard of something like this happening. The Malawian president, Bingu wa Mutharika, has quit his party (The United Democratic Front UDF) on the national day of Anti-Corruption.
"I have decided to resign from the UDF with immediate effect because firstly I no longer have support within the party... my sin as far as the UDF is concerned is because of my anti-corruption stand," he said.
The president is a former World Bank Economist and from the southern tea-growing district of Thyolo [said Cholo]. Almost all politicians there are corrupt. At least this guy has some financial background and if anyone could have taken the country to a better place, it would have been him. Of course, in politics, no one likes a man who doesn't play the game like everyone else so he's been outcast by his own party on many occasions. He lost his post on COMESA once the previous president came to power. Malawi is so totally messed up which is so sad because its such a great place.
