Everyone loves party pictures don’t they? Here are my FrontalLabs homies. Being into breakbeats and such, we started a DJ / production group to help push the local dance music scene since 1998.

Having lived most of my blogging life in suburban Buffalo (Western New York), I realized that one downside of being in a city such as Singapore is that I’ve got too much to blog about. If it’s not meetups, it’s conferences, interviews, and just miscellaneous nonsense I get myself into in our urban jungle. Heck, I haven’t even had time to rant about …

Thanks to Jess Manocchio, I’ve been re-invited to speak at PRSA Buffalo, kicking off their Sunrise Seminar series on social media.

On 12th June 2009, producer @NishaPatel invited me onto CBC Business News to talk about the eBook phenomena. I think I talk a little slow for television, but oh well, that’s that.I initially passed this opportunity to Dr. Alex @Halavais, whom I knew was in the process of digitizing his entire personal book library. He ...

I used this ...

While our UB Libraries has already taken to blogs, wikis, Youtube and Facebook, Karen’s talk was the first of a series aimed at helping the rest of the librarian community understand what social media was about. This was particularly ...
While @briancaldwell of Squidder thinks that their latest creation reeks of “Big Brother / 1984” overtones, I beg to differ… it looks incredibly useful (and fun)!Last month, they created these Augmented Reality Twitter Shirts…It clearly combines twitter, augmented reality (Papervision) and of course, t-shirts. But it didn’t stop there… …

As such, the document below reflects the collective response from friends in the civil service, academic as well as creative ...
Straits Times journalist, Chew V’Ming, was nice to call me yesterday about it. Judging from what bloggers have been talking about, there does seem to be a need for Singapore’s own video sharing service. It would benefit in two main ways: 1. One resource for all locally captured videos, 2. So that we can watch videos fast, without the need to buffer through slow …
Sure, only after my third or fourth try did I manage to finally capture a panorama on the iPhone without crashing, but as I explore alternative modes of capturing the moment, panoramas are still pretty neat.
