A 24 Day Journey
Posting from Changi Airport.:) It’s sort of ironical that my ‘longest’ short-trip isn’t for pleasure but for work. At 24 days away from home, it would had been oodles of fun if the trip had been to say Europe or

MIT, Boston, June – Preparations
Follow-up on my post a month ago.:) Decisions got finalized late last week, and it was quite a rush yesterday to work out all the travel and accommodation arrangements. A good part of it has been in planning for weeks
MIT, Boston, June – Part 1
I received news earlier this week that a trip I’d been planning is indeed going ahead. The year-long project is a collaboration between the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and my institution, and it’s being co-investigated by an MIT researcher and
Panasonic HDC-TM700
Another post about toys.:) I picked up my first HD Camcorder – the Panasonic HDC-SD20 – more than a year ago mostly for Hannah’s coming into our family. I was initially a little reticent about having my home-video processing work

End-of-year Vacation
