About Podcamp Singapore 08

Today, I had to drag myself out of my bed (on a cold, rainy morning) to attend the PodCamp 2008 in Singapore, organised by the Singapore Management Universities (SMU).  It is rare to have weekends to sleep in since I am either busy with events/ work or travel, I did have second thoughts about attending.
However, [...]

Plainsunset @ the Yahoo! Mobile Developer Awards

Since I was 4 years old, I had always wanted to be a musician. I played the keyboard and piano for 14 years but the music dream didn’t really come true. Ended up doing arts and design and somewhere over the years, started doing something else, completely different. So, here’s where I am now. No [...]

No Flaming. Just Good Old Intelligent Posts

Recently, the local blogosphere is acting up and started some entertaining “flames”.
Wikipedia: Flaming is the hostile and insulting interaction between Internet users.
I was “entertained” for a very short while and decided that, time will be better spent reading some good old intelligent posts. Going through my hundreds of RSS feeds had been something I did [...]

Bloggers: Quantity VS Quality

Blame it on work. I have been unable to do much outside of work. Now that I am taking a short break, I can start writing..
Several topics and thoughts went through my mind the last few days and I shall try to jot them down in this and next couple of posts.
One of my colleagues [...]

Flickring away

I was given free upgrade to Flickr pro account two weeks ago (one of the great perks of being staff). I am in the process of (still) downloading the images from the Vegas/ SF trip. Work has taken up quite a bit of time but no, I am not giving up this blog (yet).
I noticed [...]

My waking hours

I’ve got facebook notes, IM messages and emails from friends and some of the blog readers asking if I am “alive”. Of course I am. I am just spending a little too much of my waking hours at work the last few weeks.
This is usually what happens when you are in a new job, a [...]

Heading to CES in Vegas

When I went to the doc to get the flu and Hep A/B jabs, she sent me home with packs of pills after knowing that I have to take a 16-hour flight. Usually, I am not a big fan of long haul flights but this time, I am looking forward to the trip to San [...]

Nokia 14Days

With my new job role (at Yahoo!) focusing on the mobile industry, I have been spending my time trying to find out anything and everything about mobile.
I came across this interesting article in MarketingWeb, mentioning the following stats:-
With an estimated 240 million wireless subscribers in the US, mobile is already a US$350-billion sector. According to [...]

Holiday with Bezurk!

I met Ross Veitch, Chief Product Officer and one of the co-founders of Bezurk at the PopOut 07 event in Singapore some weeks ago. Ross was one of the presenters that evening. I was really unwell that day and (sorry Ross), wasn’t paying attention to most part of the presentation. I vaguely remembered it being [...]

A decent event @ Popout! 2007

Being a professional PR person who spent a lot of my time organising big events, I must say the folks at The DigitalMovement (TDM) put together a decent event last Thursday evening. The success of an event often lies in the quality of its speakers and the audiences. The other element is what i called [...]

29 Sept 07: This week’s highlights

A couple of readers of this blog told me that they enjoyed my posts on the weekend highlights, probably because they are shorter than my usual long posts on various topics.
So, for this weekend, here they are:-
KENZO GOES TECH

Beside tracking technology, social and new media news, my RSS aggregator is full of fashion and design [...]

Future phones, and no it’s not an iPhone

This post is going to side-track a little from the usual PR/ New media topics and take a quick look at some really cool “phone” designs (and No, it’s not about iPods, iPhones or the touch).
Recently, I have been searching on mobile related topics – it’s a growing market (the whole bringing online content and [...]

Three interesting posts for today

Three quick interesting posts I picked out for the day-
1) Steve Rubel thinks Geek Marketers are the next BIG thing! And I can see that happening, even in the little island here in Singapore. I know of a few such people here who fit the role Steve described, perfectly.
2) Next, I read with interest, [...]

What I am reading and listening to

Sometimes, I marvel at how people connect via various social networks. As of now, I have signed myself up for various services, tried various beta products and stayed on a few great ones. Thanks to Melvin Yuan who first introduced me to Twitter, I am quite addicted to it now.
Facebook, as everyone knows is totally [...]

It’s Live – Intrigued by Ustream

Television has alway been considered as one of the most effective medium for companies and even the government to get messages out to the masses.
Live TV is not a new concept. We watched the recent National Day Parade Live as well as the the various talent shows or sports events Live. Audience often hungers [...]
