Reflections of parents of not-so-young-kids-anymore
Continued from the last post! I’d actually been looking for a replacement compact before deciding to sell the E-PL1. Initially, I toyed with the idea of an underwater-capable compact and/or setup, but dropped the idea when I found no end
I sold my Olympus E-PL1 away late last week after having it for over a year and shooting about 6,000 pictures on it. I really liked the camera a lot. It was handsome looking, beautiful out of the camera JPGs,
Hannah’s just two more months to two years old – i.e. we’re gonna have to start thinking about a small birthday event for her – but she’s already solidly entrenched into the ‘Terrible Two’s’ phase. She’s learning to vigorously resist,

Continuation from the last post! The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (2010). Surprisingly, a new modern day fantasy film that isn’t an adaption from an existing novel. Nicholas Cage plays Balthazar a still sprightly 1000 year old sorcerer from Merlin’s days, in a
There hasn’t been a lot of Film & Entertainment posts of late here on our blog. Not because I haven’t been watching any, but only because I haven’t been writing about them! Most of them were pretty recent films from
Not sure whether this is true but I noticed that fresh Huai Shan (or Chinese yam) has made its frequent appearance at our local markets only in recent years. It seems easy enough to use this fresh Chinese herb for
