Facebook’s Timeline will become the key focus of the Facebook profile experience. They are trying to make all of your historical data on facebook lots more accessible (eventually you will see [...]
The priest stood up and told us a story about the man and his 4 wives.
+++++++++++++
We Chinese have a lot of stories to tell. Handy metaphors. Stories that make you think.
This one starts with a man who married his childhood sweetheart. He loved her dearly, unfortunately she was very fragile and was [...]
Many times I am asked, what is social media?
It’s funny how just 3 years ago my tech friends would literally shudder when they heard the term; as too often marketing terms get spinned around and completely lose their real meaning. Think of terms like ‘Web 2.0‘, ‘taxonomy‘, ‘the cloud‘.

Just came back from a special talk at the Foundling Museum that really blew my mind away.
I have always been very interested in the attachment theory, in terms of the way we bonded as children affects the way we relate to others as we grow [...]
Some of you who followed my blog may notice that I tend to write a reflective piece (like this and this) towards the end/beginning of the year. Every year I was surprised by much learning/people/inspiration that came into my life; for that, I thank you. Here is my list for 2010,
