Will be doing some minor revamp to the site and adding another sction on “DSLR & Gears” as I had taken this expensive hobby up for quite some time and cannot leave it out of the blog, :).
New posts will be a bit slow, bear with me for the time being.
The video on the panel discussion, “Generation Y and the Emerging Power of User-generated Content” at the IDC conference which I attended last month was finally uploaded. Looking back at it, I do look kind of goofy, hehe.
Watch it at your risk.

Spoke at the panel discussion on Generation Y and the Emerging Power of User-generated Content at the IDC conference alongside some prominent bloggers from Asia. Amongst them, Kenny Sia of kennysia.com, Meenakshi Reddy Madhavan from the Compulsive Confessor; and Daryl Tay from Unique-Frequency.
Check out the post for more details and picture recap on my trip to CNET Singapore as well.
Introduction from the panel moderator, see my logo on the slide? cute right?
Me in the middle
[14 January] My new entry over at CNET Asia Community Blog is up. This week’s entry, “The Radio Saga of Hong Kong’s very own Citizens’ Radio”. Click here for the read.
[Updated: 23 January] Following to my post on the Citizens’ Radio, I received the following mail from Stephen Dunifer,
Hi!
Thank you for providing the background on the struggles of Citizens Radio. Their saga is remarkably similar to what myself and other Free Speech activists went through in the United States some years ago. For details, please use my name, “Stephen Dunifer”, and Free Radio Berkeley as search terms. Also, check out these two websites - www.freeradio.org and www.radiotupa.org. I have continued to promote the cause of Free Speech on the airwaves since Free Radio Berkeley was shut down by a court injunction in 1998 by aiding and encouraging communities to put their own radio stations on the air. Currently, I am in Shenzhen visiting a friend and checking out the local electronics scene which is quite amazing - looking to source parts from here and possibly have mass assembly done for a 10 watt FM transmitter PCB. We design and manufacture our own line of transmitters and other related gear. Kind of low tech compared to CDMA cell phones and the like but they get the job done. I will be headed to India on Sunday for a week. Community radio is just getting off the ground there. Then it is back to Hong Kong for a couple of days and then returning to San Francisco on Feb. 5th.
It would be great to meet some of the folks in Citizens Radio and swap stories. Perhaps you would be able to convey this to them.
Best regards,
Stephen Dunifer
[Updated: 15 April] Woot, the Citizens’ Radio will be back on air this Sunday.
I will be off to the IDC Directions 2008 Conference tomorrow and on the afternoon of 18th April, I will be participating in a panel discussion together with a few prominent Asian bloggers on the topic of Generation Y and the emerging power of user-generated content.
During the panel discussion, IDC will host a live Internet feed where non-attendees can follow the debate and submit questions to the panellists in real-time. Questions from online viewers will be fed to the panellists via the moderator.
The live feed can be found on http://www.idc.com.sg/directions2008/gen-y_live.html

[22 March 2007] So, sitting here pondering. A little more than a week from the Rugby Sevens and still no luck in getting tickets (last offer I got off some forum was $2,800 for 3-day pass, gee). I am now starting to make up stupid excuses for myself for missing the event and I came up with the best one, SMOKING is banned in the stadium, LOL.
[Updated: 25 march 2008] Hmm… where are all my CX friends when I needed them. Hopefully I can grab a few tickets fast before Friday. What’s the going rate for 3-day pass these days BTW? anyone?
Email me at gadget@hkphooey.hk if you know anyone selling, thanks in advance.
