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 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. I’ve had brand new drives go kaput, and lost hundreds of gigabytes of data each time (not permanently though, [....] Continue reading A solid state future If you’re thinking whether you should pay good money to watch The Storm Warriors (Fung Wan II, 风云II) at the cinemas, the quick answer is “Don’t bother, the movie is a massive disappointment.” Even if you’re the biggest Fung Wan fan on earth?

Some background: From 1999-2003, I was a press photographer in Singapore and later a technology editor who happened to review cameras and give [....] Continue reading Olympus Pen E-P1 review Part 1 I watched the movie yesterday with Goy, and I left the cinema feeling really disappointed no matter how I tried to enjoy the movie from different perspectives – as a movie fan, as a Transformers fan, as a visual literacy fan, and as a computer graphics fan. It flunked on nearly all aspects and the show was watchable, but still [....] Continue reading Ten problems with Transformers 2 I’m feeling a little jetlagged after the long trip to Korea and Seattle, so here’s a quick and dirty post on some stuff I bought recently for personal use and would like to recommend to like-minded friends. I shall not exceed one average-length paragraph per review! Note: prices vary across a wide range here.
