From "A Fundraising Survival Guide" by Paul Grahamhttp://www.paulgraham.com/fundraising.html "4.

UniqueFrequency posted on his blog about the HP Touchsmart PC ad and how the tune was really catchy and viral. I checked out the ad and felt kind of disappointed. Here's the HP ad first:Now have a look (and listen) at this one:Honestly speaking (and I know this is probably going to be subjective), which ad has the catchier tune, and which video is more compelling?Alright, …

Podfire's new food show, "Small Girl Big Appetite", is fresh out of the editing room at podfire.sg and sgba.tv. A lovely first episode shot at the French Stall on Serangoon Road. You can watch it (and future episodes) at the above links. I've embedded the first episode here too:A rather well-shot and presented show, being only the third series Podfire has produced. I'm …

xBarcamp Singapore II on Wednesday night was great. Some really interesting speakers from Google, Singeo, Lilihood (loved their control interface) and Homespace, and I loved Preetam's idea pitch about object-tagging. I didn't get to catch the Mobile breakout, because we were presenting a demo on Shoplette for the Maps session, but I'm sure it was great too. Will have to check …

Great words of wisdom from Chef Giovanni on "Jamie's Great Italian Escape":Remember to have fun!Not just work, work, work.Let your hair down and play once in a while.Strangely, my idea of fun is learning Objective C and Cocoa. Erm... Not quite right. But, damn! Objective C really makes object-oriented programming so natural it hurts not to.

On average, there are 4 PSPs in any MRT train carriage everytime I board the train. I suppose this varies by the time of day (probably happens more in the afternoons and weekends than peak hours on workdays - but then, maybe not) and the carriage (maybe they gravitate towards the end carriages where they can sit down and play).But anyway, it's an interesting observation. If …

Listening to Bob Dylan now, which I haven't intentionally done before. I'm surprised that I haven't. Perhaps out of fear. That I should identify with his music and his writing. And fail to reconcile.But today I am in exactly that mode. Of early dreams frustrated. Of ambitions abandoned disillusioned. Of a loss of faith in progress. But also a feeling of liberation. Or being …

Close to 90 million views!One comment said, "Tired of being sexy" (which could explain why it's appealing) and another said, "I love this song". Some other people are suspecting a hack. Or is it an avalanche of people sharing it (out of surprise that it's got so many views) and other people viewing it out of curiosity? Do people have to like a video for it to be #1?It beat …

I spend far too much time doing research on the Internet. And as a result, I generate a lot of bookmarks, and a lot of sites I return to regularly. I used to think that del.icio.us was a great way to solve the problem of organising my bookmarks and making them accessible anywhere.But I'm beginning to realise that once I file something on del.icio.us, I forget about it and …

I now understand what all the fuss is about. Having held the machine (can you still call it a machine?) in my hands, it really feels like you're holding an envelope or A4 folder. It's that light and thin.When you think about that experience, the lack of ports and slower core aren't such huge stumbling blocks anymore. And I hear from programmers that it's good enough to do …
