A while ago I wrote about the buzz around Fire Eagle, and I’m happy to announce that Steve Marshall is giving a presentation on Fire Eagle, at the Over the Air hack day here at Imperial College.
In nutshell, Fire Eagle is,
Fire Eagle is the secure and stylish way to [...]
This cracks me up – ironically I found this out on my ‘funwall’:

Even more ironically I’m feeling very very dreadful whenever I see all these pending ‘requests’ from my facebook. Weekdays we troll through thousands of work emails, and when we get home during weekends there’s another hundreds of stupid facebook apps out [...]
Update: The invite doesn’t work anymore… you might need to try and see if Dropplr gets more invites later on
My blogger, new media professor friend Gab had pinged me yesterday asking for a ‘favour’, turned out that she wanted a fireeagle invite from Yahoo!. I was sad that I didn’t have an [...]
Jake McKee‘s presentation made my day, thanks to Jeremy for flagging it up. Jake is a ‘revolutionist’ that led the Lego Mindstorm Programme involving 20 core fans, and literally drove a cultural reform in Lego. From some random marketing handouts I found that mindstorm outsold its predecessors by more than 2 fold [...]

Danah is PhD student from iSchool, UC Berkeley – her overview of the social divide between MySpace and Facebook is a fascinating read, even though she’s extremely humble about her academic vigor (you don’t really need to – this essay as itself is very informative as it is). Some insights on social divide on [...]
Life without delicious is bad – on a given lazy sunday when you don’t want to go out nor do anything particularly meaningful, such as watching our wonderful BBCs. (having said that, I still k.o. 1.3 episodes of mighty boosh). I’ve done 4 things (that I remember) today… and probably worth sharing with [...]
I was glad that there’s a chance for me to work with a NGO in London, and basically my boss is an amazing, sweet and clever lady, I love working for her.
My first task, however, is to format her Dell. (We named that Dellie, btw, since it’s a little Dell). The problem is not [...]
1. Tabs
I did a little experiment to see how many webpages are open for my everyday browsing – the mean is about 15 pages. There is rarely a time I finish extracting information from 1 page before I navigate to the next one, my attention span is furthered shrunk by the ‘tab’ technologies (and [...]
