Collected it today. Not bad… buy one iPod and get two free replacements. It’s now sitting in its white dock, slurping 34GB of music files into its hard drive. The tech support guy told me that if I want my iPod’s hard drive to be readable on PC and Mac, I must first format it …
Managed to sit on my bum after 2 hours of family choir rehearsals (I skipped the ballroom and salsa dance practice because of the swift movements required). Yesterday I created my Second Life account and looked for Kevin and Ivan online. Met Alvin as well. Yay, our own little Singaporean community in Second Life. Look …
On Friday night I suffered from an inflammation of my lower intestinal tract. It started with a massive ‘traffic jam’ caused by a pileup the last few days (too busy, working, sleeping late preparing for family event etc etc, no time to care for my own health, the usual crap) which resulted in me trying …

(link via Boing Boing) Before the announcement was made, Kevin noted plenty of blogs theorising that copyright owners could just be waiting for Youtube to …
My most-used word of 2006 (and probably 2005) is “Busy.” Some Christian preachers call it “Being Under Satan’s Yoke”, which is quite plausible if you treat work or other commitments as an ‘idol’ (ie, worship it) and rank it higher in your priorities than God. Things get a little greyer when you feel you’re doing …
The history of the VanPod royal family has been a tumultuous one. The first VanPod was established in 2004. Its reign lasted over a year until it died, of premature old age. A detailed autopsy was performed and captured in photographs. Its successor VanPod II had the extra ability to display photographs. However, this didn’t …
