I think I’ve caught the photography bug again, after a 3-year hiatus.  After I sold off all my Canon equipment in 2006, I turned to Panasonic’s minute workhorse, the LX-3 as my sole photography tool.  Coming from the much larger APS-C sensor of the Canon 20D,  the tiny 1/1.63″ sensor of the LX-3 was a [...]

SingTel releases iPhone 3GS Upgrade Pricing

Thumbnail image for SingTel releases iPhone 3GS Upgrade Pricing

Guess what?  SingTel is making the iPhone 3GS affordable for everyone with an early upgrade fee of S$600 + handset pricing as seen in the following chart.  They know I have an iPhone 3G 30-month contract that is barely into its 10th month, and because I am such a valued (read: data-hungry high-ARPU mobile subscriber [...]

Down my (computing) Memory Lane

I finally got out of the chair yesterday evening and cleaned out a ton of junk from some long-forgotten storage.  Since my first computer at the age of 12 – an Intel 486DX-33 with a 170MB hard disk – I’ve left behind (to my mom’s dismay) shelves full of obsolete tech.  They quickly become time [...]

Reviving my Klipsch Promedia GMX A-2.1

I recently broke one end of my Klipsch control cable as I moved things around to redecorate my room.  As I unplugged it, the metallic protrusion of the connector disassociated itself from the rest of the cable, leaving bare pins exposed and my room devoid of the sound of music.  Although the Klipsch Promedia GMX [...]

Apple sets cat among mice (yet again) with iPhone 3GS

And so the eagerly-anticipated Apple iPhone 3GS launches amidst much fanfare.  Still, I was glad to see Phil Schiller introduce the new toy and rendering my iPhone 3G (which I had queued up for) obsolete.  For someone who has been making do with a jailbroken iPhone 3G thanks to its natural lack of MMS, Spotlight-like [...]

Blast from the Past

Guess what I found while clearing out my family’s storeroom this weekend?  ‘Gadgets’ from my childhood days!  Unlike today’s PSP/DS Lite-wielding kids, I was entertained by the following toys and my endless rounds of pretend over my growing-up years.  These probably accounted for a good part of my active and vivid imagination *wink*.  Going through [...]

MIT’s Sixth Sense

The cool geeks over at MIT never ceases to amaze me – makes me regret (just that ‘lil bit) spurning cold MIT for sunny Stanford when I was choosing my Masters back in 2005.
This is like Tom Cruise in Minority Report, albeit several light years behind in sophistication. It’s still a really good job [...]

Of iPhone 3G and SingTel

If you haven’t signed up for your iPhone from SingTel’s pre-launch website, you’re too late – they’ve closed it.
Little worry though, if you’re not hopping onto the iPhone hype/bandwagon with both feet. I don’t know how reliable this source is, but those price plans don’t seem appealing to me at all. As a power user, [...]
