Podcamp was fun! You can say we became happy campers, though I was kinda sad it had to end. This morning, Mitch took us through the basics of social media. My fellow media socialists would probably have heard of most of the websites and tools mentioned (e.g. Google, Technorati, RSS), so I won’t go into …

Nope, this has nothing to do with Optimus. Check out my latest food review on Hungrygowhere.com, on the new steakhouse in Tanglin Village/Dempsey Road. More photos here.
