F1 2009: Australian GP
Having been fooled by the EPG, I’ve been up for the last hour waiting for Formula One to come on, only to be stuck with a group of people talking about Gordon Brown’s EU policy and whatnot. I miss hearing “Lift Me Up” — ITV used to use it to open their coverage. Uh, what do the bushfires have to do with the Grand Prix? Raikonnen’s got KERS, why doesn’t he seem to be...

I’ve finally found a clip from the night Kevin Rose and Alex Albrecht were on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. It’s alright. It might have been a little bit more geeky than when Topolsky was on, and I have a feeling that it wasn’t as easy for the average audience to get into and enjoy. Then again, I’m a geek so I can’t really tell. And yes, it definitely wasn’t...

34 Amazing Tumblr Themes, Twitter could never look... →
Some of the examples are good, but only some of them. Others are a bit plain. Or it could just be a matter of taste. (via Digg)

Leave Goody Alone
Why the fuck is the media so fucking obsessed with Jade Goody?! I had hoped that once she’s dead she’d be out of the news and out of my RSS reader. But no. Apparently people need to know when the family is holding a funeral for that fat, racist, shouldn’t-have-been-famous-in-the-first-place woman. It’s because of the fact that she had stirred up so much controversy when...

Taking family members around campus is like hauling a train of old people. Oh wait, it’s the same thing.

Following the Liveblog: iPhone OS 3.0 Preview
Playing Facebook Poker on my iPhone while reading gdgt. It’s not a good poker day for me. Ooh. In–app purchases. Tapulous? Kindle? Classics? Bonjour for iPhone–iPhone and iPhone–computer file transfer please? Third–party accessory support: okay, fine. Turn–by–turn navigation: good. Push notification is here. Finally! Just hope this’ll launch more easily than MobileMe. Lost...

It’s Apple’s iPhone OS 3.0 Preview event tomorrow later today, so I thought I’d throw out my wish list. Tethering. I don’t need a pitiful netbook with a built–in 3G modem. I just need a MacBook Pro with an iPhone. Though in most cases, an iPhone is sufficient. Universal push notification. It’s sort of there right now, where apps, like BeejiveIM and Chess with...

Terminator: Salvation (Trailer 3) →
Back story: I’ve seen Terminator 1 and 2 when I was little, so to be honest I don’t remember much about it, apart from the term “liquid metal” and the fact that they had cool robots. And I skipped Rise of the Machines because it’s supposedly bad. It led me to think that the franchise has now turned into little more than a cash machine for those involved, and as a result I...

Joshua Topolsky, Palm Pre, and Jimmy Fallon Why is it that I always get a bit queezy when geeks go on broadcast TV? Is it because I always get a feeling that whoever it is — in this case, Topolsky from Engadget — is representing the geeks of the world and I worry whether he/she is showcasing geekiness in a good light or a bad light? Or is it that the geek and the host may not click, thus leading...

Did the presentation today. It was alright. I hadn’t forgotten anything, Keynote worked fine. Had to cut a couple of lines here and there, and talk a little more quickly than I did in my practises to keep the time down — it would’ve otherwise taken about ten minutes, and I was only given five. I still overran, but it was down to eight–ish minutes instead, so not too bad. Otherwise, it...
