This is a really funny comic graphic, shared on Twitter by @kellster
I’ve been intrigued by Snow Leopard (OSX 10.6) ever since it came out. Sure, many people hail it as the king of bugfixes (just like what Windows 7 is to Vista), but it does sport some pretty nifty features beneath that facade which are unseen. Anyhow, in keeping with the times, we needed a new Mac-based machine in the office and I decided to get grimy and build one with Snow Leopard AND Windows. Yup, dual-booting it’s called. Over the … Continue reading
Last weekend, I attended a wedding and had the opportunity to use 2 iPhones simultaneously to capture photos. @warrentan had just picked up his iPhone 3Gs the night before and it was still brand spankin’ new! Here’s a side-by-side comparison of how the photos turned out from both phones. For the iPhone 3Gs, I did use the tap-to-focus on the subject feature. All photos are not touched up, and are saved at the highest quality after adding the watermark in … Continue reading
One day, after making the switch to using Apple Mac Mail coupled with IMAP retrieval through Google Apps, I was unpleasantly surprised by a “goobledigook” error message. Sure it beats the Microsoft error messages of “An exception 06 has occured at 0028:C11B3ADC” (Do I locate that on Google maps? Or is that on someone’s Tee?), but it was still pretty darn foreign to me. After doing some research, I found the solution, which was hidden under a haystack, under another … Continue reading
I’m not one of those crazy Mac fanatics who frowns on PC users, but here’s a very funny photo that I received in my email recently. Is he a spy? Perhaps his Mac was at the doctors for service?
BarCamp KL was an amazing event, with 100s of likeminded individuals crowding together at Inti College, just to bounce off each other’s passion. It was my first time attending a BarCamp and it was a fun-filled day of various activities. It goes to prove that geeks are cool (most of us anyway…) and we have varied interests. There were sessions on how to Salsa, Espresso appreciation, sharing of holiday experiences, Kufi art and also a little about coding standards. Overall … Continue reading
Created with Final Cut Pro, shot with a Panasonic DVX 102B, edited on my Macbook Pro, fuelled by a team of 7 passionate team members… we crafted this short clip in 15 hours! I attended a Christian media conference recently, which is meant to promote the use of media in the church context. There were 3 streams – live audio, photography and videography. I opted to improve my production skills and signed up for videography. It was an intense 4 … Continue reading
Oh great… the secret is out now. It seems Lois Lane now knows the true identity behind Superman. iPhoto just had to spoil it by identifying them both. For those who don’t yet know, iPhoto ’09 has a feature where it tries to identify the people in your photos automatically. It will then ask you to confirm whether it got it right or not. When I first “heard” about the concept of this comic, it totally cracked me up and … Continue reading
If you’ve just gotten a new Mac, taken it out of the shiny box (or started off with Hackintoshes like me!), then installed Mozilla Firefox, you might wonder why the tab button does not move the cursor within forms as it should (or as you are used to anyway). I’m the type who uses the tab button to switch between text fields, radio buttons, list boxes and submit buttons. But when I got the Mac, I was flabbergasted for a … Continue reading

If you want to know how badly the power adapter can get, check out how it smokes and fries in the 2 videos below. Scary stuff! Oh, and for those of you who are into … 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.
