Bersih 2011 in photos

9 July 2011 – this day will be emblazoned in the minds and hearts of Malaysia for years to come. It’s a sign of protest. A sign of democracy. A sign of change. A sign of oppression.

It is independent of political parties and it strives for fairness. On the media front, it was … Continue reading

Apple releases Final Cut Pro X

Finally, after whetting our appetites for long enough, Apple releases Final Cut Pro X, a revolutionary software tool that will change the face of video editing, but only on Macs. There was much speculation about when it’d be released, knowing that Apple normally runs press releases on Tuesdays, and since they promised it to be in June, it was highly likely to be today, or next week. For long enough, Apple has lagged behind Grass Valley’s Edius offering, or even … Continue reading

As a proponent of social media, we know how important it is to be transparent and to treat everybody with utmost respect. One golden rule that I uphold is, “whether a person is online or face-to-face, treat them the same”.

Registering your business (sole proprietorship & partnership) in Malaysia

With the advent of the Internet, entrepreneurship in Malaysia has been steadily on the rise – to the extent that some don’t even know, but they are already business owners!

The future of mankind lies in glass!

This video is truly amazing, and I bet this will come to fulfillment in my lifetime. I love the ideas behind it and seamlessness, but with so many different vendors pushing their proprietary hardware, it may be quite a tussle to get devices to speak to one another. Am loving how the car is so digital! [hdvid-600]6Cf7IL_eZ38[/hdvid-600]

Google Docs reskinned

At Integricity, the company I started that comprises of a digital agency, visuals arm and technology company, we use Google Docs a lot. It helps us keep tabs on the 30 odd staff we have and collaborate on documents. At some point, I should run a workshop on how to squeeze productivity from using this awesome tool. Its used for timesheets, claims and project management – nobody signs on to our company and leaves without a fairly thorough knowledge of … Continue reading

Seminar – 2011: The Extra Mile

Last week, in conjunction with Launchpad, an agency that provides marketing and branding services, consultancy and project management, I had the pleasure of addressing a group of professionals to talk about how they are marketing their products and services. I was given a 2-hour session, and I hope my illustrations were clear enough to explain the role of digital marketing. Bearing in mind the average attention span of people is a mere 5 minutes these days, filling 120 minutes with … Continue reading
