It’s obvious that with the phenomenal rise of Facebook, I’m blogging so much less now. And so are other blog owners. I update my FB page several times a day, and it’s just so easy to post links, photos and videos on it, versus doing it on a blog. However, as I thought over this, I decided that there’s nothing [....] Continue reading Integrating Facebook and blogging The Canon IXUS 300HS, taken with my Canon EOS 5D. It feels good to take a nice product shot. Canon’s wildly popular IXUS range has been stuck in a rut for several years in terms of design and features. Was I glad when they recently announced that they’d be launching the IXUS 300HS/IXY 30 with the same 10MP [....] Continue reading Canon IXUS gets reborn Iron Man makes a great toy franchise, largely because there are so many variants of the Iron Man armor, toy makers can churn out hundreds of different editions for years. Now I’m not a hardcore collector due to the lack of space in my house, so I don’t buy any “fine art” grade of toys…I’m just happy to have commercial [....] Continue reading My Iron Man 2 toys Sometimes, people tell me that I write well. I disagree, because I will never be as good as Roger Ebert or Stephen King. Do read Ebert’s loving tribute to his dad here.

That lasted for until this year when one of the violin instructors accidentally stepped on the case during the school concert [....] Continue reading BAM! A new home for Sombre Jack After one week of use, I’ve come to some clear conclusions about the Kindle 2 that was not immediately apparent during the initial honeymoon phase. Quick conclusion: I like it, and it’s become like a real book to me, with certain caveats. Long answer…here goes: The screen’s contrast level limits where you can read the Kindle. Like I said in my [....] Continue reading Final thoughts on the Kindle 2 I received my Kindle 2 two days ago, thanks to Borderlinx that managed to ship it from US to Singapore within a week. This is a product that I’ve spent a lot of time contemplating before buying (nearly a year actually), largely because I hadn’t seen one in person. That is until my colleague Vicente showed it to me during our [....] Continue reading Kindle 2 first impressions The new Olympus E-PL1 at an affordable USD$599 price point. I have to take my hat off to Olympus. The Olympus E-P1 Pen camera was launched only about half a year ago, taking the photographic world by storm with its classic design, great image quality and realizing the big potential of the Micro Four Thirds standard. It carved out a [....] Continue reading The Pen family expands really quickly |
