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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 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, [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
While I am in process of setting up my new blog, I tried out different social networking book sites that allow users to catalog their books, share reviews and share book lists.
Out of the few sites I tried, I am giving my votes to Shelfari and Library Thing.
Shelfari is voted by Mashable as one of [...]
This weekend is really interesting and enjoyable. This entry is to remind me that I have wonderful people around me!
Saturday with Kevin
I have been raving about Kevin and that is simply because he is highly entertaining, very intelligent and somehow we “clicked!”. I have been rather anti-social after office hours for a few years now. I have always [...]
