Disoriented musings of a technology romantic. Copious amounts of salt recommended with each reading.

NameWee is an Idiot

According to MalaysiaKini, Wee Meng Chee (aka NameWee) is once again embroiled in another stupid saga. However, I personally think that he is acting like an idiot now. I think that his touch with fame has gone to his head and he is now attention hungry. It speaks volumes of his musical talents if he has to resort to constant controversy in order to sell his music. According to ...

Certified Anti-Hacker

I just read this article in TheStar today that UniTAR (a local private university) graduates will soon be certified as anti-hacker. According to the article, "Information technology students at University Tun Abdul Razak (Unitar) can soon be certified to counter hackers.Those taking the Bachelor of Information Systems (Hons) and Bachelor of Information Technology (Hons) at Unitar may graduate with the Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) certification from the E-Commerce ...

Ones Naught

Bless you America! I had a rather fitful night of worrying that you would end up picking the wrong guy for the job but I guess it was all for naught. I stayed glued to the online tallies on Google to try to see how things were going. When Obama started to build an early lead, I was still kind of worried because the mid-west and southern states ...

Barack Obama

This guy is the best kind of leader: Inspirational, Realistic, Logical, Pragmatic. Man, I wish that he was my Prime Minister. Then, I would be able to sleep better at night knowing that the country is in the hands of someone who will work for the job, instead of someone who thinks that he deserves the job. Whomever made this ad deserves to win an award. This was an ...

Lump of Sugar

I have been gradually building up a collection of Korean film DVDs at home. I have become so used to buying original DVDs while I was in the UK that I have decided to steer clear of pirated products back at home. Korean originals range in price from about RM17 (£2.60) to about RM40 (£6.15). So, they are amongst the more affordable originals and Korean cinema is perfectly ...

AlJazeera - ISA

A very timely episode on ISA in Malaysia, by Al-Jazeera, which was only shown a few days ago.

Loss for Words

I am at a loss for words. This advert is so cheesy that it is actually cool. I recommend that anyone who works with the pipette, watch it. It's an ad by a company selling machines to automate the task. The ad is from Eppendorf (should be familiar to people working in life-sciences).

Dream Big

I watched the American Idol finals the other day. It's been a long while since I've watched it because I think it's not been worth watching for a while now. But my friend introduced me to David Cook the other day, and it changed everything. I was really glad that he won. He brought tears to my eyes. During the finals, this was one of the songs that ...
