HD Toy
While I’ve had quite a few still image cameras, both of the digital and film sort, I haven’t been in video recording for quite nearly as long. Consumer-priced video recorders didn’t drop in price quite as quickly as photographic cameras

There’re just three ‘big’ movies on my “Must Watch” list this year: they’re Watchmen, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (!), and Star Trek. The first, Watchmen, has come and gone and I’ve blogged about it here the other week.
Baby Names – Chinese Version
Here in Singapore, Chinese names given to newborns typically follow a name structure that’s kept consistent for each generation. For instance, my generation was “Foo Chek *”. For the next generation, it’s “Foo Jie *”. Mum has been thinking of
Who watches the Watchmen?
One of the earliest graphic novels I read as a young adult was Watchmen. My elder brother and I were both comic book readers and collectors in the mid 80s, and he acquired all twelve volumes of this series. The
Oratorios & Masses III

Windows Utilities I
Follow-up on my post on operating systems a while ago. I actually wrote this post and the next several days ago, but it got queued up behind the recent oratorio posts. One of the nicest things about running on the
Superhero Powers
As far as comicdom is concerned, there’s a long list of superhero powers. After all, if you’re going to keep things fresh in that creative industry, you need to get equally as creative when it comes to cooking up the
Showing at a local home cinema III
I’m gonna do more frequent posts of Home Cinema with fewer movies but longer notes.:) Eagle Eye (2008). Techno thriller starring Shia LaBeouf, Michelle Monaghan, and a whole bunch of military hardware, especially of the spy, surveillance and explosive sort.
Lessons: Rationalizing
Taking a break from music posts and returning to an thread where I was writing about lessons in life.:) A groupie in our small group Salmon Run once remarked that the greatest threat to the Holy Spirit is our (human)
