While backing up my hard drive, I stumbled upon the following piece I wrote for The New Paper’s Tech section in 2005. I can’t remember if it was ever published, but it’s a fascinating look at how fast technology has moved in four years. Today, our smartphones are leaps and bounds beyond what was available back then, 3G has long [....] Continue reading Time Capsule 2005
True, people do tend to get set in their ways as they get older. Nobody is very surprised when somebody retiring in two years says, "I’m too old. I can’t learn new things." Does that mean the person can’t do anything any more? I don’t think so. The person can transfer wisdom, based on personal experience, to younger people, [....] Continue reading An interview with Stringer
I’ve been quietly observing the whole blogging scene for the past few years. First as part of the old media (or mainstream media, whatever you may call it), and now as a PR guy on the other side of the fence. And through it all, as a “blogger” myself with my own website and constant flow of entries outside [....] Continue reading Don’t blog. Communicate.

But the stories that people told us from their hearts, that spoke of regret, of things not done, of things done, and things they wish to do. The journalist is [....] Continue reading Taxi Ride, 17 Feb 2009 Ziff Davis Media will cease publishing the print edition of PC Magazine beginning in February, becoming the latest magazine publisher to transition online in response to declines in advertising and the rising cost of printing and distributing a physical publication.

While I’m too embarrassed to ever post the incoherent Manglish interview I did with a Chinese TV channel last Xmas, I’m more than happy to be speaking my native English on Razor TV. Here I am at the Singapore launch of our latest Microsoft Hardware products – BlueTrack mice, Arc mouse, [....] Continue reading I’m a Bluetracker on Razor TV Joshua Benjamin Jeyaretnam, 1926-2008 I was a young intern in The New Paper the day I found myself interviewing him in 2001. Actually I didn’t mean to. I had just finished doing a story at Somerset when somebody literally barked into my ear: “MAKE IT RIGHT! Make it right for Singapore!” He was selling his book of the same title (Make [....] Continue reading The day I met JBJ |
