I don’t know why I never joined LibraryThing. I know of its existance for a long time and I know I definitely have friends who are on it. Now think of it maybe because LibraryThing always seems so cluttered with too many text displayed and at the time I was using Delicious Library on the Mac, granted it is slightly different since it is more of your personal catalog and while LibraryThing has more of a social element in it. But because Delicious Library is too pretty …

I admit I was skeptical when Hulu.com first launched. It was around the time when NBC pull out of iTunes Store and cooked up this new venture with FOX. Well, that was a year or two ago. Since then, NBC has returned to iTunes, and Hulu proves that it has its own place in the world. To me the relationship between Hulu and iTunes is equal to yesterday’s television and DVD. People buy DVD movies even if the movie is shown on television or on …

It’s been two years since I have been using Twitter and now the mainstream finally discover it. And I thought I was late to the game! Most people are still confuse of what exactly Twitter is and what is the use of it. Most people are even downright rejective of it, the most used reasoning was “I don’t need to broadcast what i am doing every minute to the world!” I think the misconception come directly from that tag line on Twitter “What Are You Doing?” It is completely misleading …

My Pleo is now orphaned, its parent company Ugobe went bankrupted. That means no more software updates or any new functionalities or a newer generation~ nothing at all~ It wasn’t the smartest business plan – built a company that relied solely on a $350 robotic toy~ It might survived in boom times, but now it’s not a huge surprise that it goes under. Back in the days Sony has money to burn but still wasn’t able to sustain their $1000+ Aibos. Does it mean there’s just no hope for smart …

I don’t have a giant HDTV, my computer isn’t attached to the TV, and I don’t have an AppleTV either, so why would I want to try out media centre softwares? one simple answer – my librarian tendency of organizing things! My current way of organizing media is once I acquired an episode of the TV Show, I re-encode it to an iTunes/Front Row accepted format, then copy and paste episode info, summary, and artwork from wikipedia into iTunes. A really long…

There was a side-effect from my trip to LA… that I am now hooked on Facebook way after everyone else did like years ago. But only on the iPhone though, I still almost never go onto the Facebook site. It’s only the well designed iPhone app that I am addicted to. The Facebook app on iPhone is very streamline and it loaded very quickly even on EDGE, it has all the most popular functions from posting status to the wall to the chat to tagging pictures to …

Remember when Steve Jobs announced the transition to Intel Chip he mentioned how they have a team secretly running OSX on Intel chip for 5 years while they were using PowerPC chip on all their Macs? Well, I am doing the same to my blog! I am running two secret labs experimenting with other blogging platforms. As I mentioned in a previous post that I was frustrated with Blogger, so I have been secretly running an identical private blog using wordpress.com, another blog-hosting service that is similar to …

While working on my new wizard theme, I was increasingly frustrated by the lack of progress Blogger made in term of features. Granted they do add features and made progress on improving the system, but they are just too slow compared to the others. If you look at their blog post for the last 4 months, they did 4 bug fixes, add the feature of scheduling future posts, support for embedding Google Docs, a blogroll list, and restore the accounts that were mistakenly marked spam! Out of all these, …
