I feel obliged to post something on the anniversary of the attacks, but don’t know what to write. I’m sorry it had to happen at all, but what’s done has been done. More importantly, instead of indulging in hero-worship or finger pointing, the parties affected should try to understand the problem at its source, and …
My home network is down, so I won’t be too responsive with the emails and such. Which may be just as well, because I should be revising for my GRE and not surfing the web. Cheers.
It’s official: weblogging is now a topic of study at UC Berkeley. Interesting discussions abound about how blogging (as it’s otherwise called) is actually the antithesis of journalism, what with the press being subject to various influences which produce biased reporting.

I’m so tired of hearing Dubya blabber on about how the US must attack Iraq, yadda, yadda, yadda. Just because Daddy wasn’t able to finish the job, doesn’t mean that Junior has to.

I’m staying up to catch the last set of the Venus Williams and Chandra Rubin match. My support’s behind Chandra (who’s fully a head shorter than Venus). Considering that she’s had to recover from a number of physical problems, she’s doing pretty well, making up for her (relative) lack of brute strength, with guile. She …
Brendan Dawes, one of our foremost Flash experts, has just written a very relevant article on how content and ideas still prevail over the technology which is used to convey the message. What is heartening to note is his down-to-earth attitude towards work. Like he says, know your target audience, the client, the brief … …
I know this sounds pretty trivial, but after months of searching, I’ve finally found a new cover for my Nokia 6510 mobile phone. It’s light silver and has a slightly rougher texture than my original dark blue cover, which gives it a better grip. So hopefully I won’t drop it anymore. I felt a little …
Comdex is still the same as ever – hordes of Singaporeans (and their families in tow), trudging along in various directions, shoulder to shoulder, a few carrying huge boxes which got in everyone else’s way.
