I like attending informal conferences where power influence lies not in the suit one is wearing but in the ideas one exchanges with others. Singapore’s very first Podcamp was just that. Read on for a summary and photos.
I will be at Podcamp this Mon and Tue. Hope to see some of you there, too! I’ve heard a lot of good things about Mitch Joel. Thanks in advance to Michael Netzley for organising this and to Ben for the heads up. Also looking forward to hearing Melvin speak. Note: I will not be …
My HTC Touch has started to annoy me. Yesterday I set all alarms to ring at 8am – my standard alarm clock, my iPod (which sits in my Bose Soundock), and my HTC Touch. It was very important that I wasn’t late for my operation, but I also wanted to maximise the amount of sleep …
So far, there haven’t been many wholly favourable reviews of the iPhone. There’s a list of things that it should have had, and a few more pros and cons. Engineers may be able to understand this Federal connectivity assessment. I don’t. Having said that, the iPhone is pretty durable as it endured a comprehensive scratch …
I’ve had a love-hate relationship with PDA phones. Ever since my first O2 mini, which crashed frequently, to the HP iPaq which I later lost, and finally to my Dopod 818 Pro which compared suitably to its predecessor. Since the revered iPhone isn’t coming to Asia anytime soon, I had to get something else to …
This Thursday, I’ll be at Paulaner Bräuhaus having drinks with some of you together with our distinguished speakers, including Jeremiah Owyang whom I first met at the SXSW Web Awards this March. I will probably get there a bit later, after my church website presentation. See you again soon, my fellow “New Medialists”!
Microsoft has a new high-tech product coming up, using surface computing or multi-touch technology similar to Apple’s iPhone. There is lots of potential for managing photos and viewing maps. Could ubiquitous computing, or Everyware, start becoming mainstream? This video was so impressive, I have to show it here. If you’re using IE you may not …
Kevin‘s giving a talk titled “Youtube and beyond: What you want to know but never knew who to ask” at the Central Lending Library this coming Tuesday evening. Ivan has more details on this. I’m considering going, if I can tear myself away from work. I’ll be one of those latecomers who will be welcomed …
Just a few days ago, I blogged about buying a new Microsoft Wireless keyboard and mouse set. Alas, within a couple of days strange things started happening to them. First, the mouse kept turning off. Then the keyboard’s F11 button, which looks ever so slightly more depressed than the other keys, kept on getting activated. …
Our home Acer PC’s wireless mouse was giving trouble for the last few months. Even a battery change didn’t improve its erratic performance. Last night, I removed the casing to check on the batteries again, and was surprised to find that the inside of the mouse was wet! I discovered that one of the batteries …
