I’ve never been an exercise junkie. Getting a ‘Gold’ rating for my physical fitness in my second year at Junior College was much the exception to the norm, as I was normally too lazy to exercise. As a geek I’d rather sit at my computer, surf websites and blog (like what I’m doing now). Until …
Month: February 2007
In the midst of the madness while juggling as many projects as I have fingers, I thought there was at least one thing I could do in advance: Start preparing for SXSW 2007! Since I may be liaising with the home office during my US trip, I’ve created a timesheet in Excel format, which tells …
I just installed version 1.3.5 of Performancing for Firefox. All’s well so far. No hanging, hooray. OK, here come the tags… Technorati Tags: technorati, performancing, firefox, tagging
I’ve tweaked the formatting for tags. Let’s try again. In the words of Cartman, “Respect mah authority!” [OK, removing all the tag formatting has led to a ‘server error’. I don’t think I like this program. I may go back to adding tags manually.]

The mouse required more frequent battery changes and …
While chilling out at Thinc Cafe in Second Life (SL), I had the privilege of meeting the creator of the isle, as well as his team members. Turns out that Thinc is a real-life ad agency in Singapore. They’re part of the ICG group. We all hung around the beach for a long chat. I …
‘Watched Pan’s Labyrinth at Vivocity today. I had been warned that it had elements of horror and fantasy, and that it was set during the Spanish Civil War. Prior to this movie, my only exposure to the Spanish Civil War was going to the Musee Nationale Picasso in Paris half a year ago and looking …
I enjoyed Tinkertailor’s earlier post on how ‘viral marketing’ has become contrived and misused in discussions. Even if you call it viral, creating buzz for a product or service that has little substance will probably fizzle out the campaign. I brought up that post because I just viewed all the Democratic presidential candidates’ videos announcing …
Just found this on the HP Singapore website, one click away from the home page: I’m chuckling. Haven’t seen this kind of thing on a commercial website in ages.
