Back from Asia

Well, it was a manic couple of weeks but a lot of fun at the same time. I managed to tweet a bit while I was away but there where some that didn't make it that I thought I'd include them here:
  • Love the efficiency of Singapore's Changi Airport. Absolute bliss in comparison with many, many others.
  • Head is melted. Little sleep & 2 days RM training. Back to hotel and then catch up with Lana.
  • Love the Arabic-influenced architecture of KL.
  • On train to KL airport. Bangkok here I come.
  • No way! Tesco Lotus?! Seriously, Tesco in Bangkok
  • According to Apichai, Tesco is quite prevalent in Bangkok. Would never have thought it.
  • Have developed Naomi's eye for expensive jewellery... will have to find another pressie
  • www.pancosmetic.com - whitening cream seems creepily wrong initially, but how different is it to tanning cream, I guess?

Taking kludges to a whole new level

Bizarre and funny...

A call to blog

Ok, so I've had the iPhone for over a year now and when I first got
it, I was able to blog quicker and more frequently than ever... But, I
was also more able to follow other blogs and tweets an my information
consumption went up and the production down.

This, I don't think I entirely like if I'm honest. On one hand, I do
like knowing what's going on in the tech world and with my friends
(facebook's got out of hand tho as I tend to get a lot of inane
nonsense from people I barely know but that's a different rant
altogether).

Anyway, as I like getting updates from friends via Twitter and their
blog posts, I too wish to let them know what's going on with me. So,
the challenge to myself, is simply this; to blog more, starting with
this!

Before MP3s, Tapes had Two Sides

I loved reading this article. Having grown up with the walkman (and numerous ever-improving incarnations thereof), it's hard to imagine what it would be like not knowing that, for example, tapes have two sides.


Also, it's worth remembering that only 6-7 years ago, iPods and MP3 players weren't that prevalent, so this statement is also relative; "I'm relieved that the majority of technological advancement happened before I was born, as I can't imagine having to use such basic equipment every day."

Who can really predict what the next big advancement will be?
