The Marketing to Women conference Day 1 was generally good. As mainstream marketing is not my core function, I learnt more than the average Marketing graduate working in a Marketing role. Day 2 tomorrow should be good too. As can be expected, there are many more women than men attending the event. I couldn’t help …

[I saved this post as a draft and never got round to publishing it until today. So here it is, 5 days old.] On the home page of Techdirt today is a summary of the Malaysian Government’s reaction to the blogosphere in the midst of its tourism promotion efforts. Still in the news today is …
A few of my girl friends commented that my blog was too techy for them. Well, here’s a lightweight post which may sound very unlike my usual self! Some long-suffering friends may be pleased to note that yours truly FINALLY went for a manicure and pedicure – for the first time in possibly a year. …
