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 kept forgetting about it but I’ve finally compiled them into a Windows 7 themepack, made [....] Continue reading Bishan Skies, now a Windows 7 theme pack (Updated) Let me get this off my chest – I’ve never liked hard disk drives (HDD). All hard disks are are liable to die on you any second. It doesn’t matter which brand it is, what’s the capacity or how old it is.
