I saw this infographic and knew it had to be shared with you. It’s hilarious and probably very, very true. I shudder to share which character I am, lest I be construed as being a weirdo, hacker, nazi. Which are you? Source: submitinfographics.com
It’s about time… PingChat! has had the ability to form chat rooms for quite awhile now, rather like how the native BlackBerry users do, and it is finally being introduced in the extremely popular cross-platform messaging app, WhatsApp. Download version 2.6.1 and you’ll have the added functionality right away. It’s probably still in the test phase, as we can seemingly only have a total of 6 people in a WhatsApp group, whereas I have never hit the limit in PingChat! … Continue reading
We travel a lot these days, whether by plane, bus or train and it can get rather boring at times, if we’re not prepared for the long journey. I like to stock up on movies or TV series and transfer them to my iPad / iPhone to watch while on the go. In order to save time transcoding your movie files, get an app like CineXplayer, OPlayer HD or yxplayer. They play most video files natively, thereby saving you a … Continue reading
It’s Chinese New Year and I’m currently enroute from my home in Kuala Lumpur to my wife’s state – historical Malacca. She’s driving currently as I’m “unwell”, what with an annoying flu. Anyhow, I decided to try out the YES dongle that I was given during their launch and see how it fares while on the go. Thus far, it’s been a pretty amazing ride and I’m about to unleash this blog post while traveling at 110km/h while dodging accident … Continue reading
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
I travel a fair bit and over time, I’ve learnt to refine the art of packing. First of all, I don’t start packing 2 hours before my plane leaves, nor do I throw a random bunch of clothes into a bag and hope I’ll be okay. I’ve formed a fairly comprehensive list of items to pack, and hope it will help you as the basis for your own list. You can find it on Google Docs here. Or, you can … Continue reading
LiveWire! is a cross-denominational, inter-church & even inter-faith media network. It is an organization with the hope that by linking up media artists in Malaysia & beyond, it would encourage & equip them with a greater experience & passion in their work, service & lives. I’ve been helping out at LiveWire! conferences over the last 4 years or so and have seen astounding creative work emerge from it. Lives are transformed and creativity is unleashed. Last year, I was invited … Continue reading
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
Over the last few months, we’ve seen two notable backlashes concerning logo rebranding and the huge uproar by the seemingly ardent fans via social media. The latest fiasco surrounds the rebranding of the popular coffee brand Starbucks, to move with the times. Should companies really take into consideration all the comments and rants that are hurled at it? Or should they just press on, knowing that resistance to change is always prevalent at any layer of society? Some irate customers … Continue reading
Happy New Year and may 2011 be a great year for us all. However, as we place more and more reliance on digital gadgets, there can be bugs that arise and may cause us grief. This morning on the 1st of January 2011, my iPhone 3Gs (iOS4.x) alarm didn’t go off as scheduled and I thought it strange. My wife’s iPhone 3G (OS3.x) alarm rang, though. I didn’t give it much thought, until I read a status message on Facebook … Continue reading
Here lie my thoughts: that of an entrepreneur, media-junkie, gadget-junkie, photographer, videographer, once-PC-user-but-now-Mac-user and husband.
