A personal diary of my life and my ramblings...
More Valentine's Day stuff, this time from Mr Brown -> http://www.mrbrownshow.com/?p=702
Don't want to spoil it for you but rest assured that this is not your usual love story with a happy ending. And it's a true life story as well (happened right here in Singapore...)

Engineer's view of Love
Well, been rather busy to churn out any new post/video. What with the recent oversea trips to India (for work...)
Have taken some interesting video of Jarren but not been able to finish the editing yet...
Could not resist adding a link to this though -> http://www.bitquabit.com/2007/02/14/smart-guys-date-in-parallel/
An engineer view of relationship.
Word of Caution: Basic knowledge of physics is a pre-requisite to understand the post. Those who have deviated from the "Holy" path (like lawyers, doctors, sales...) might want to refresh their memory before reading :-)

Jarren on all fours
Well, it's old news by now but Jarren's been crawling on all fours for the past week or so.
In fact, he's already starting to stand on his own and make tentative first steps, albeit supported using his arms (sometimes he even uses only one arm to support himself).
More videos of that another day...

Jarren's progress report
Well, Jarren's 3/4 of his way towards his first birthday.
He's getting more mobile now and prefers crawling around to sitting and play.
Used to be that we could just leave him with his favourite toy and expect him to entertain himself. Now, it's a matter of minutes (or even seconds...) before he tries to crawl elsewhere.
Here's a video of him taking his anger out of some toy fruits.
Guess he has quite a temper ;-)

iPhone again
Thought I would put a link to this interesting arcticle about the new Apple toy -> http://www.kottke.org/07/01/iphone-roundup
Note that I am not a Apple fan-boy. Far from it, since I have not owned any Apple produxt (Yes, including the famous IPOD). My argument has always been that it does not make sense to pay for that extra user-friendliness, especially for geeks (like me...).
However, the iPhone really intrigues me though, and here's an extract from the article above that resonates with me.
What's really kind of sad about the intensely exuberant reaction to the iPhone is that the situation with current mobile phones are so bad in the first place. It's not like we didn't see any of this coming or couldn't imagine the utility of the iPhone's features.
What I would like to say is really why no other companies have thought of it ... Or maybe they did, but thought it's better to maintain the status quo since no one else is doing any better.
Best example is Microsoft. Multiple releases of their mobile OS and we still need to install an app to close any application instead of "smart" minimizing. I mean, have they really interviewed users to find out what is our perference ??? At least, give us an option in the setting menu.
At the very least, the iPhone might be an awakening call for the rest of the mobile makers.

Apple IPhone
Been too busy lately to update the blog...
But read about the new iphone from Apple on the internet. Take a look yourself -> http://www.apple.com/iphone/
Felt really good after going through the demo. It's not just the look factor but the user interface is also really solid... It's like Apple had read my mind and designed the exact device to suit my needs. Only way they could do better is to add telepathic control ;-)
Heard from someone that it will be available in Singapore later half of the year at S$799 but this is not confirmed news though. If the iPhone works exactly like how it appeared on the demo, then it could be time to drop my Dopod and switch to something more sexy :-)
