Some people I talk to will know that I am no fan of STOMP, the Singaporean equivalent of a citizen tabloid (or whatever passes for one). And I really don’t like Singapore Seen; they rub me the wrong way, as if they were the Moral Police of Singapore. In my opinion, they fail to contribute to society [...]

I was looking at Microsoft’s Photosynth site before the inauguration ceremony and I figured it looked neat, but had no idea what it was really capable of until the day after. What you have here is literally thousands of photos, uploaded by professional photographers and bystanders alike and compiled into an interactive, 3D environment. When [...]
So the European Union is going after Microsoft for bundling Internet Explorer into Windows, 10 years after the US government tried doing the same thing. One thing that baffles me is — without a browser pre-installed, what are you going to download another browser with? Providing software customization at the retail level will be a [...]
I felt for sure last night
At once we said goodbye
No one else will know these lonely dreams
No one else will know that part of me
I’m still driving away
And I’m sorry every day
I won’t always love these selfish things
I won’t always live not stopping
It was my turn to decide
I knew this was our time
No one else [...]
The email says “For Immediate Release”, so I guess it’s safe to post this here:
Research In Motion (RIM) (Nasdaq: RIMM; TSX RIM), today introduced the BlackBerry Curve 8900 and BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 smartphones in Singapore. The new BlackBerry Curve 8900 is the thinnest and lightest full QWERTY BlackBerry® smartphone and features a compact and [...]
Her voice is so much more powerful when she sings live.
In the States, Starbucks has 3 sizes available on the menu for drinks: Tall, Grande and Venti. There’s an additional option; a short which they don’t show — it’s smaller than a Tall, and it costs 30 cents less in the US (it’s true, I’ve done this before).
Now, a Tall latte contains one shot [...]
I find this pretty hard to believe — I was looking at my old work to see what could be put into my portfolio and I stumbled across a portfolio site I did back in 2005 for one of my modules. 4 years later, I still think it’s one of my better designs… work can [...]
What do you get when you cross Ninjas and Gingerbread — two of the most awesome things in the world — and a Nintendo Wii? You end up with Ninjabread Man, a game that looked so awesome that it completely let IGN reviewers down. Shame, though. I would’ve thought that anything with ninjas in it [...]
So iTunes was on Party Shuffle today (as usual) and Joseph Arthur’s Glass Pipe was playing when I noticed it sounded similar to MGMT’s Time to Pretend. It’s got a different feel, but still… Here’s Glass Pipe for you, from And The Thieves Are Gone (2004):

And if you’re not [...]
A while ago, I was approached by an acquaintance to create a logo for her blog shop — she asked how much it would cost, and I quoted my usual rate for jobs like these. Her reaction when I replied with the quote was that she could get a blogger via Nuffnang with wide market coverage [...]
Last evening was spent at Snakeweed with West Grand Boulevard and Martin Soosay — they were recording tracks for their upcoming album and wanted some help with gang chants… you’ll see (hear) what I mean soon enough. But after that — damn! We went to play Left 4 Dead and ended up staying at Cyberdome [...]
Well, no new Mac Mini at Macworld, but Palm did deliver with the Pre, a new touchscreen smartphone that seems to have a lot of awesome going for it. It integrates (or is supposed to integrate) your digital life, consolidating contacts from Facebook and Outlook for emails and letting you switch from IM (from MSN? [...]
