As some of my good friends know, I’m addicted to [Mob Wars](http://apps.facebook.com/mobwars/) on Facebook. It’s become a bit less exciting now that I’ve bought every weapon and property that can be bought. It is also not very fun getting my ass whipped as I progress to the higher levels because almost everyone there has a …
Month: June 2008
It’s an exciting time for a spectator like me, as the Euro 2008 football finals loom and tennis stars battle their way to the top at Wimbledon. My favourite for Wimbledon ladies – Jelena Jankovic ([blog](http://www.jj-jelenajankovic.com/eng/blog.php)). Because she’s the only top 3 seed left, after Ana “Girl next door” Ivanovic and Maria “The Screamer” Sharapova …
Today’s sermon was the last in the series on [Ecclesiastes](http://ebible.com/bible/ecclesiastes). It’s a sobering book which can sound pretty depressing, summed up by the phrase “Everything is meaningless!”. This tone of despair sounds strange as it comes from King Solomon, who you’d imagine was the smartest, richest King of Israel. He realised all his accomplishments would …
I’m blogging this via iPhone right after installing the [iMT plugin](http://plugins.movabletype.org/imt/). This creates an iPhone-friendly interface for blogging. I can easily create a new post, check comments and view my latest entries. Installation was a breeze, although a couple of things didn’t seem to be working at first. When I tried to create a new …
Lately, there has been lots of interest in ‘green’, sustainable energy. However, many of us are going green for less than altruistic reasons. As Barack Obama put it during Al Gore’s [endorsement](http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/17/us/politics/17campaign.html) of him, the former Vice President had done much to raise awareness of climate change, but “there’s nothing like US$4 a gallon gas …
Over the past couple of weeks I have been asked numerous times about my plans for the future, why I’ve made certain decisions and whether these plans can be reconsidered. My plans have been fairly straightforward. Like any young person, I seek an environment that allows us to learn and grow, where we can be …
This morning, I intend to: 1. Wake up at 7am or latest, 7.30am after taking lolling-around time into account 2. Run on the treadmill to burn off fat accumulated from consuming too much German beer and sausages 3. Shower and get my hair into some semblance of neatness 4. Have juice and freshly-ground coffee 5. …
###New foreign talent!### The Agonist’s main protagonist (sorry, couldn’t resist the pun), founding editor Sean Paul Kelley, will be [relocating to Singapore](http://agonist.org/sean_paul_kelley/20080609/singapore_bound) for a few months as of 1 July. His readers have interesting comments on democracy in Singapore. May the Singapore blogosphere give him a warm welcome. ###Spread Firefox day### This Tuesday, let’s help …
At last count, it’s three. (Who cares about passports and money? :P) One geek to collect all our laptops and put them in the safe. Two geeks to take photos of our laptops in the safe. And back to the first geek to take photos of the other two geeks taking photos of our laptops …
I and many other journalists and bloggers have the chance to get up close and personal with this forthcoming iPaq Business Messenger model… If all goes well I will attempt to take photos and blog using this little baby at this morning’s press conference. My iPhone need not get jealous… yet. (I’d use the analogy …
