30 hours and finally back home in Singapore. It has being a good trip and I have a lot of fun! :-) Now unlocking the iPhones I bought back. Who wants one? Update: Okay, I was joking when I say “Who wants one?”. These are for friends who asked me to bring it back for […]

My Cab Driver in Bay Area
Meng Weng reminded me to share this story on my blog. I arrived in SFO on Sunday and took a cab to downtown San Francisco. I have a very jovial cab driver and we have a wonderful conversation. Started innocently with “hows your day”, we slowly move to weather and what do I do for […]
San Francisco to Palo Alto
Had a wonderful lunch with Phil Wolff and David Beckemeyer at the Silk. I haven’t have so much fun having conversation talking about voip for a while. The industry landscape has changed a lot bu certainly lots of moving. But one take away from lunch is no one has found the “killer” in VoIP yet. […]
Techcrunch40
Techcrunch already has a great coverage of the Techcrunch40 event so it is pointless for me to repeat here. Beside, I was busy running around, speaking to people, catching up with old friends and making a lot of new ones and not really paying attention. So instead, I will cover a few companies I saw […]

This is going to be a very long post based on the 250 photos and a dozen of Youtube clips I just uploaded.
Visit to Geni
I visited Geni.com on their invitation yesterday. The first time I come across Geni was on Techcrunch when it amazed everyone with a US$100M for a 7-weeks old company. They are founded by a bunch of ex-Paypal and eBay employees. I finally got around playing with their tool and I have to say I am […]
In Los Angles
Just checked into Westin Bonaventure Hotel in LA. I like to meet the genius who put the ethernet connector on the table far away from any wall power plug. And United Airs tried to charge me US$191 to make a slight change (30mins earlier flight) for a US$204.80 ticket. Good Lord!
Packing for LA
Almost done packing my luggage and preparing to leave for LA. The last week was really busy for me as I was running around doing errands, meeting people, and making sure things still go on while I am away. Speaking of errands, I bought a NAS 500Gb MyBook yesterday. A minute after it is booted […]
