I ‘ve been kept busy recently, what with events at work and in the gaming world happening at the same time. It’s quite a bit of stress and excitement all mixed together. I have completed the paperwork of taking over a couple of projects from this other company, in a bid to boost my company’s [...]

My wife directed me to this blog which I found interesting. We are so much in need of the alternative view rather than being brain-washed by those government-controlled media we now have:

A lot of talk by so-called experts about gamers revolve around the negative aspects, such as gamers becoming anti-social, they expect instant gratification because things happen immediately from a push of a button, or that they waste a whole lifetime simply staring at the screen, ignoring the norms of education, relationships, career and such.

My search for media law in Singapore has led me to this not very asthetically pleasing, but nontheless useful website on the topic. It hasn’t been updated since 2003, so with the developments in recent years of weblogs and podcasts, I wonder if anything has changed.
I note with mild amusement this article which is found [...]

It’s strange when my wife happened to find a wallet in the mailbox. It’s stranger still that it is used and not a new one that comes nicely wrapped in gift wrapping paper. This one’s really used.

After a series of pretty serious stuff, I decided to lighten up a bit here. Well not quite but it’s non-political, non-satirical, without any hint of cynism and best of all, no one can say that I’m a partisan player in politics.
