I finally got a chance to catch up on some much needed sleep last night. The past weekend has been nothing short of awesome.  Our inaugural Neoteny Singapore Camp 1 (NSC1) event went without major fails, and the speaker and crowd quality, level of discussion and energy levels were superb and electrifying.  Even though Sean [...]

Update on Neoteny Singapore Camp 1

Thanks to Daryl Tan and Tan Yinglan, I was able to get my hands on their recording of Joi’s recent talk and panel discussion when he was in town earlier this month, on the 14 and 15 September.  I sent the 1+Gb file through iMovie, and broke it up into 3 parts: (1) Joi’s 20-odd [...]

Did you go to the Games Convention Asia 2009 that took place at Suntec Convention Hall earlier this week? No? Well, you really didn’t miss much.  I last attended GCA in ‘07, and decided to give the ‘08 event a miss due to scheduling conflicts.  This year, I went past its Level 3 conference venue [...]

I just wanted to squirt this post out before I crashed for the night.  Joi and his entourage of 12 other friends are in town these 2 days, and everyone was incredibly fortunate to have the opportunity to hear him speak about start-ups and innovation.  I’ve put up his Prezi slides below, but they’re largely [...]

I just got back from an awesome Friday night out with a bunch of really smart people at the Wine Company@Evans.  Meng Weng had graciously invited us to enjoy the company of his good self, each other, and futurist Peter Schwartz.  I think there were 13 of us, which made it a Last Supper of [...]

I came, I queued, and I bought my iPhone 3GS.  Yes, feel free to label me an Apple fan boy – I’ve been one ever since owning my Powerbook G4 back in 2003.
