Yesterday I attended the wedding and banquet of my lovely friends Timmy and Cindy. They were one of the couples who saw significance in the 07/07/07 date and thought it would be nice to tie the knot then.According to Channel NewsAsia, there was an amazingly coincidental 777 couples that tied the knot on 07/07/07 in Singapore. The Registry of Marriages said 777 weddings on a …
Since attending the iX 2007 conference's academic forum at SMU yesterday, I've been full of AIR. Adobe Integrated Runtime that is. That was basically the only thing new I got from the conf …
Sigh. Just got the above letter in an email from Pandora. As of today (US time) they will be stopping access to all IP addresses outside of the US and UK. This is terrible news as Pandora is my favourite social music site.Looks like the next few hours before the US wakes up to 3 May 2007 is the last chance I get to listen to my well customised and well loved stations on …
We all know that the most respected and credible media outlets never allow their journalists to be "bought" in exchange for editorial. These media have traditions of anti-corruption and thus their editorial is trusted by many.Is the same to be expected of the blogosphere? Of late, I've seen an increase in bloggers being "bought" with products to keep after a review is done or …
This is a follow up from a previous post where Technorati "lost" my blog. I since went on to unclaim it in hopes of claiming it again and starting over. That never happened... till today.I've been on their forum, sent in trouble tickets, and today I got the ability to claim my blog back!I'm glad they're actually putting good effort into the customer service and support, and I …
For the last year or so, I've had the conviction that the TV was going to be the next big thing in media, so today I was glad to read Steve Rubel sharing the same sentiment:The TV is undergoing a renaissance. In five year's time, 50% of what the most coveted audiences watch on their sets will come off the Internet. However, it goes beyond video content. Television will run …
6 Volt Battery Hack! You'll Be Amazed! - video powered by MetacafeThis is one of the best lifehacks I've ever seen. So simple. Makes me wonder how it is that no one discovered and shared it before.
In my opinion mobile blogging hasn't really taken off. Most bloggers are wizards of the keyboard and have LCD-trained eyes. But the reality is that most things a blogger needs can be found on a regular 3G mobile phone (save the qwerty keyboard). Everything from email and RSS feeds to camera and video are on the tiny device you carry around in your pocket.What's in my pocket? …

The first line on SE roundtable's blog post today about bookmarking reads:Traditional bookmarking seems obsolete. Adding a bookmark to your browser, to many, is a practice that has been since seemingly replaced by newer methods -- social bookmarking sites, if you will.I am a long-time del.icio.us user and absolutely love social bookmarking, but to make a statement as the one …

Today I had lunch with Ian McKee, CEO of Vocanic, a Singapore-based marketing company that specialises in word of mouth marketing. Ian was my tipping point into the world of marketing. Sometime in early-2006 he introduced me to the book Buzzmarketing by Mark Hughes. If you're into marketing, you'll definitely want to read it.So to meet the man again was quite a delight and …

That's what they say.(VMware is a Hill & Knowlton client)
I hopped into a taxi this morning to get to work in the pouring rain. After tumbling over my wet self trying to fit through the Toyota's door with laptop bag, umbrella, while wrapped in a business suit, I noticed that there was a nice new touch-screen panel sitting right above the meter.I happen to take taxis quite often so I know a new system when I see one.After I told him …
I knew about the Nokia "You Make it Reel" competition from a friend over at Ogilvy PR (Singapore), she asked if I or my friends wanted to participate in the music video making competition.What I didn't know, and now I find fascinating, is Nokia hosted the competition exclusively on Veron Ang's blog sparklette.net. We've all seen marketing moves that include sponsorships, …
Now this is the technology we've all been waiting for: Wireless power.I just read it in Business 2.0 and had to share. From the article:It may sound futuristic, but Powercast's platform uses nothing more complex than a radio--and is cheap enough for just about any company to incorporate into a product. A transmitter plugs into the wall, and a dime-size receiver (the real …
How many publications (including blogs) do you religiously follow?
