The Price is Fright(ful)!!

I decided to send my camera and some lens for a long overdue check and servicing, especially after a few overseas trips where they took a beating.
Brought them down to the Nikon Service Centre at Anson Road today, and explained to the staff behind the counter that one of my lens gave off a squeaking [...]

How to get ahead…

In the mould of self-help gurus and “how-to” books, here’s my very own tip on how to get ahead in life…
Step 1: Find a willing subject.
Step 2: Get a really sharp knife…
I guess you can see where this is going…so i shall just let the video speak for itself (yes, i know it was a [...]

Of pandas and Moses…

Some days ago, i posted a comment on Facebook that i had something in common with pandas and Moses. There were a couple of good guesses but only one correct answer…
I had gotten a Wacom Bamboo tablet…
Been eyeing one for a while, but never really justified the need for one. Until that [...]

Journey

If you are on facebook, you’d pobably have seen my comment about not being able to go away without being moved somehow, after having been in contact with a true artist and his art.

After almost one-and-a-half years, I am back on Facebook.
It wasn’t peer pressure, the need to get “with it”, or the search for old friends which led me to re-activate my account. In fact, I must say that I have been totally happy without Facebook all this time, and I did not at any time feel [...]

Airlines break things

Just saw a segment on the evening news (YES, THE NEWS!) about one man’s fight against an airline. Kinda like a David vs Goliath story. Anyway, this guy – Dave Carroll – travelled on a United flight, checked in his Taylor guitar, and landed only to find the neck broken. Well, it was a one [...]

Run, baby, run…

I’ve been running about 2-3 times a week for the past few months in a bid to lose weight and shape up (round is no longer the shape i want to be in).
Anyhow, I got this nifty app on my iPhone called Runkeeper which tells me how far I’ve run, how fast, how many calories [...]

Textual Stimulation

Ever had one of those “intellectually stimulating” conversations which go off on a tangent, and then it just runs away and takes on a life of its own because the puns are just there for the taking, and if you don’t you’ll feel you let yourself down?
Well, my colleague and I had another one of [...]

Fruit Punch

…and counter-punch…
Here’s an ad (apparently) by the people who make the Blackberry (RIM or Research In Motion)…symbolically (or otherwise) taking a shot at Apple.

Now, watch the response to the ad above…not sure if it really is by Apple though…
