I’m pleased to announce SuperHappyDevHouse Singapore #2 is going to be on 9 June 2012. The entire SHDH team (that’s the awesome Messrs Vinnie Lauria and Jason Ong and myself) has been hard at work putting this little hacker party together for the tech community in Singapore + SE Asia. This year will be extra [...]
Those of you with elephant memories will remember what this site was 7 years ago. The web was a very different place. This blog was a different blog, I was a different kind of kid (19 years old! Yowch), and the ecosystem was other sites like this with no Facebook, Twitter, not in the ways [...]

White cabbage is death. If there is a Creator, it is one of his less glorious moments. The only thing worse than white cabbage is white cabbage soup. I am a soup maniac, but white cabbage soup I do not touch with a ten foot pole. I cannot even sit at the same table when [...]

My father was having a conversation with one of the students at the university where he works. Apparently one of them was a frequent visitor to this site. He told my dad as much and said I don’t write anymore, that this site is pretty much defunct. When your father brings you these news, I [...]
