I attended the soft launch of Podfire.sg at Geek Terminal earlier and I have to say that the experience was interesting. Please bear with me while I try to put into words what I think of the event.

If only drinking Pepsi will bring Justin Timberlake to me like it does in the ad, I would drink cartons and cartons of it. Although, I don’t think that’s actually good for the teeth.
