The 'Le Pow" Enterprise

A fellow colleague of mine just announced to the office today (via msn), that she has set up a site dedicated to her pastry creations.

Most everyone in the office is encouraging her to pursue her dreams of pastry creation, and so we're all going to envelop our taste buds, at her expense.

Do visit her at: The Vanille Bean

Of exotic cars

Last week was hectic, but I survived. 3 days of traveling in a car, sleeping at 2am and waking up at 7am, took its toll on me. I was pooped the whole weekend. Here's a photo of what I was dealing with.... 

I'll upload more once I get better ones downloaded.

'Jailbreaking' iPhone's firmware

Don't be mistaken, I'm not good enough to claim to have broken iPhone's firmware, nor am I anywhere near with enough skill to do 

'Jailbreaking' just allows iPhone users to download new applications not available in the iTunes app store, and customise display attributes amongst other not so important tweaks. (like changing Singtel to AT&T or anything else)

I have to say it took quite a bit of reading to get the procedures correct, but after that, its smooth sailing!!!

Kudos to the devs!!

Blog Woes

Just a short note to those who have been reading..... if you know how I can change the spacing of my left navigation bar, please let me know. I have no clue!!!!

Music to the ears....

Just got a new pair of V-Moda headphones (see picture). There was a lot of hype on this pair of supposingly high-fidelity headphones, and I had done quite a bit of a reading before I finally bought a pair (at reduced prices too!!!)

Conclusion? Sounds fantastic, and I believe the people who also had tried it (upon my insistence.... :p) would agree. I give it 8 stars out of 10, one of the better headphones I have encountered. It sure beats the stock headphones that came with the iPhone.... hands down.

The White Rabbit

Recently added a new companion to my desk. Her name is Lintzy (I sort of named it without thinking...). Shes a rabbit, though sometimes she's pretty confused as to whether she's a she or a he. Funny 1 liners are her specialty, along with telling me the time, the news, playing jazz radio, and insulting me.

She is Nabaztag, and she didn't come easy.....

Catch her:

iPhone frenzy

The recent launch of the iPhone had set tongues wagging. The good, the bad and the ugly, all in comments in forums, about the usability, functionality, user-friendliness and even to the extent of questioning the iPhone as a credible communications device.

My take: The iPhone is for people who wants it. I believe that for people with certain requirements like enchanced functionality, keypad reliance (sms for normal phones) and loads of customisation.... the iPhone is not for you. Most, if not all people, buy the iPhone for some simple reasons:

1. They want it.
2. They love it.
3. They prefer form over function.
4. They weigh the touch functionality over everything else.
5. And last but not least, they want to make money from it by contracting to a plan, buying it for 0 - 500 dollars and selling it for SGD1400.00 :)

Simple, easy, clean and concise.
