In an electronic text communication media, much of the facial and vocal expression are not immediately obvious. The way you say “You sux” with the appropriate facial expression could be meaning apart. It is not surprising that people dont communicate as well as they think on email.

How to give US$40B away
Warren Buffett, a man who I hold great admiration for, is now giving away (85% of) his fortune, worth US$40B. That’s what I called donation. Buffett has pledged to gradually give 85% of his Berkshire stock to five foundations. A dominant five-sixths of the shares will go to the world’s largest philanthropic organization, the $30 […]
The original community FTTH
I had a dinner with Brough Turner last night. Brough is the founder and CTO of NMS Communications, a NASDAQ listed mobile application and infrastructure company. I really enjoyed our conversation that covers from all things technie from mobile to net neutrality. But above all, the story of the original community fiber project in Sweden […]
CommunicAsia Day 2
Plenty of meetings today, almost back to back, scheduled and unscheduled. Sadly, it also mean I missed a few meeting with some vendors…my apologies. Anyway, in between my meetings, I managed to grab some snipplet of some interesting stuff. 1. WiFi SIP Phones or rather the lack of it. The only one I saw on […]

Wasp Nest

In Jakarta again

Incidently, if you notice the increase of the use of photos on the blog lately, well, say […]
Hawker Center
Was wandering in downtown KL yesterday and walked pass this very old hawker place. I remember as a kid that I used to go to hawker center like this, old, rundown, bad plastic chairs and tables but the food are always great. This is a great contrast to Singapore which is always clean and these […]
In Hong Kong
If my weekend trip is crazy, my trip to Hong Kong is worst. I got notice to fly to Hong Kong with less then 24 hours notice, then a delay in a meeting yesterday caused me to missed my flight and there is no more flight to Hong Kong. So I end up buying a […]
Crazy Weekend
Had a crazy weekend. On Sat, I was sitting happily at the Starbuck in Time Square for my usual coffee, recieved a phone call at 1pm and I was back in Singapore in Shangri-la at 5pm. And now I am back in Starbuck in Time Square at the exact same spot… Speaking of Shangri-la, I […]
