Daemon for the geeks and gamers

Daemon by Daniel Suarez

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
A book that's more about scenarios than about characters. Using the theme of technology gone rogue, this is a gripping read. Just when you think that the story has gone over-the-top, the next chapter tops itself. Great reading for geeks and gamers alike.

Humpback Oak's Oaksongs Box Set

Went down to pick up Humpback Oak's Oaksongs Box set. What can I say about it? It's really beautiful and is certainly a labour of love. When you open the box, you get a diorama of a bedroom with Humpback Oak memorabilia strewn around the place. When you open up the bed, there're tiny booklets, a bundle of lyric sheets, a guitar pick, and small photo cards of the band. The CDs are wrapped in paper with lyrics written on them, and I don't think I can bear to unwrap these. For me, the box is a little trip down memory lane of one of Singapore's best band.

Trying out Ping.fm

This Ping.fm thingy is rather useful, but confusing. Confusing because I'm wondering if there'll be multi-postings that ends up all over the place. That will be really annoying.
