Images from Singapore Biennale '06
Recently, I went to take a look at the exhibits on display as part of the Singapore Biennale. Some of the art works were awe-inspiring, while others were rather "blah". Anyway, I've only seen those at the National Museum and at some of the religious places. Those from the latter category were rahter disappointing. I've included picts that I've taken so far. Hope that the other works at places like City Hall and Tanglin Camp are more interesting. Click on the pictures above for the full photos.

Somebody certainly loves IKEA, even in the loo. Here's a wall drawing that I found in one of the toilet cubes.

OK, this is another item that I got for my birthday. It's a Timbuk2 iPod case that I can attach to the strap of my Timbuk2 bags. Pretty useful. I use t mostly for my Treo rather than an iPod, mostly.

I finally got myself an iTunes account. With the help of an iTunes Music Card courtesy of my colleagues who bought it for my birthday. With it, I can finally download those free weekly music track. I'm not too keen on buying DRMed music though. But hey, now that the iPod supports gaming, I've bought an iPod game (called Vortex) with it.

A lot of soft toy rats found in IKEA. No, it's not really cuddly, seriously.

I just saw this on Flickr. Someone known as "Jan and Roly" has made a guide book with maps and details of walks that he'll be embarking on. It's beautifully drawn and looks amazing. You can see the full photoset here.
Cory Doctorow on how copyright broke
The idea that copyright confers the exclusive right to control copying, performance, adaptation, and general use of a creative work is a polite fiction that has been mostly harmless throughout its brief history, but which has been laid bare by the Internet, and the disjoint is showing.Time for copywrong?

Timbuk2 Blogger bag
But ever since I've found Timbuk2, I've grown to like it and would really want to get one of these hardy and versatile bag. When I saw the Blogger, I knew that I needed to give it a try. Since it's a vertical bag, I need to get used to the different orientation of the bag. Still, it's a change from most bags, which are carried horizontally.
The laptop compartment inside this bag is spacious. In fact, with my 12" Powerbook in the compartment, there's still plenty of space left. Maybe with a 15", the fitting will be better. When my company issues me with a 13" Fujitsu, I'll be able to try if the fit is better. Fitting aside, the compartment is padded and covered with corduroy material. No worries that your laptop will get any scratches. There's also a small MP3 compartment on the inside of the bag, again, it is lined with corduroy material to protect your music player.
Another good thing about this bag is the number of slots for you to place your stuff. There are slots for pen, phone, card, and even an attachment for your keys. Only thing missing is a place for a water bottle, but I suppose that can be placed in the bag itself (provided there's no spillage).
I'm looking forward to use this great looking bag. In fact, my obsession with Timbuk2 has led me to place an order for a standard medium size messenger bag from them. I'll post up pictures when I get my bag.
Check out a photoset of this bag on my Flickr account.

iPod losing its cool?
Industry-watchers warn that the iPod could soon be regarded by teenage cynics as their 'parents' player' because a mass-market product rarely equates with edgy fashionability. Although it has sold nearly 60 million actual iPods and a billion downloaded songs worldwide, cracks have begun to appear in the edifice. The Zandl Group, a New York-based trends forecaster which regularly interviews a panel of 3,000 consumers aged 25-35, recently picked up its first significant criticisms. 'The iPod is far and away the most popular tech gadget with our panellists - however, for the first time we are hearing negative feedback about the iPod from some panellists,' said the organisation's spokeswoman, Carla Avruch.Well, just hope that Apple keeps innovating. That's the only way.

Catacombs in Paris
Catacombs in Paris
Originally uploaded by Gremlink.
Paris is a romantic and beautiful city. But there is actually an underground Paris that people seldom see. It is literally an underground area called the Catacombs. In it are the bones of millions of Parisians who were buried in this city. Since the cemetaries were running out of spaces, bones were dug up and placed in the catacombs. The skulls and bones are neatly stacked and going through the catacombs is a chilling and memorable experience. Just looking at the sockets of the skulls starring back at you gives you the chills, but also gives you a sense of history.
