Sootie on the attack
September 1st, 2007

Like many other cats Sootie loves the adventure and sheer excitement of a brown paper bag. He has been playing with such a bag during the last few days and I thought why not make a hole in the bottom of the bag and obtain a different perspective of Sootie as he plays with the bag. The first video is simply Sootie chewing the handles. The second and third video reveal a carnivore in full flight.

Singapore Meetup
July 15th, 2007

Last Thursday evening Siva invited me to a meeting of the like minded web users in Singapore. Our common bond is exploring the benefits of Web 2.0 technologies, particularly in education. There are some photographs recording the meeting attended by myself, Siva, Kenneth and others in Toa Payoh on the Thursday night during my trip to Singapore.

We were all discussing the possibilities associated with the benefits of Web 2.0 technologies in fields such as education and business. I gave a quick, albeit faltering, demo of Swickis. I think I was just too tired. Kevin introduced the group to the world of Jaikus.

We left the Toa Payoh Library meeting room at 9:00PM and adjourned to a nearby McDonald’s to continue the general discussion. We stayed on till about 11.00PM or so and then returned to our respective homes. I met a couple of gentlemen who had attended the University of Wollongong! Stay tuned for my post on that coincidence!
