Is 3D TV doomed to fail?
3D TV sounds like the next big thing for your in house gadgetry collections, but in truth, how many people are actually going to buy it? Based on the popularity of made-for-3D movies like Avatar, electronics giants have been producing and marketing 3D TVs as the next big thing to occupy your living room space. The problem? Very few movie films and even less television shows use 3D technology,...
Movie Review : [REC]2 => 3/5
If you don’t know what [REC]2 is, it’s the sequel of a spanish zombie flick [REC] which got remade in English as Quarantine. I never watched [REC] but I did watch Quarantine and I walked out of the cinema stunned and scared. It was a good zombie show but shot in the likes of Blair Witch Project where the camera man is part of the story. Quarantine provided lots of scares, gore and...
Movie Review : Kick Ass => 3.5/5
Long overdue movie reviews coming up! And I’m gonna kick them off with none other than… Kick Ass! Kick Ass is essentially like Lost Season 6. It’s 2 separate story lines that merge into one at the end of the movie. One is about the life of an ordinary teenager who questions why no one is willing to don a mask and aid people on the streets like super heroes. And thus, he takes...

These slide decks found on slideshare will give you a good general overview of the digital marketing landscape.

Facebook, Privacy and You. Screw "privacy" because...
There’s been widespread panic over the possibility of facebook taking over the interwebs following Facebook’s announcements during their f8 conference held a few days ago. It’s almost as if people are afraid that what The Matrix portrayed might really come to pass and the AIs could possibly hold us hostage by knowing too much about us, feeding off the social connections and...

How Singaporeans Used the Internet, Part 1.
Note: This post is potentially full of web jargon used in the past decade+ years of my web usage. Part 1 1998 - 2001 The Medieval Internet Age Over the past decade, I have been living a digital life almost every day. (Barring days in an army camp without access to any computer.) The rate at which people change the way they use the net has been so rapid that you’ll probably miss a...
Appalled by the quality of local freelance web...
Just for curiosity’s sake, I did a google search for freelance web designers in Singapore and looked through the portfolio of the top few search results. Like my title suggests, I was appalled. It was no simple shock. It was one BIG FAT shock! The first thoughts that ran through my mind were horrible and amateurish. These guys ain’t no web designers… they’re impersonating...
Salute to Free Fonts
I have my utmost respect to contributors of the opensource movement. A movement with sharing as it’s basis. Their willingness to share their creation with the world puts them at a different league. What would the world be without the Creative Commons License? So there, today I share 2 sites that have given me resources to create designs with great typography. The League of...

AWDwR turning me into Spaceman. Are we Human?
Of course we listen to The Killers while we code or read books or mug our brains into juice. That’s if you’re not listening to Lady Gaga on the Telephone of course.
Now, the earlier parts of the book was pretty much a breeze but as I got deeper (in fact just about another 50 pages deeper), I realized it was getting insanely hard for me to understand the concepts. It’s not that...
