Death to openness and beta launch

Just like the world of fashion, the world wide web has some of it’s own up and downs of trend disasters. We went through the blinking myspace phase, the barely there Google search box stage, The apple phase, put up with the overly shiny and wet ‘web2.0′ period- okay that one was just down right [...]

I hope no one minds me blogging

When I was having a slice of pizza tonight with a friend. Jokingly, he mentioned that he’s been visiting my blog entries lately. “You know you have grammar and spelling mistake on there right?” “yes, I know… it’s a personal blog, so that’s just the way I write stuff” “no, by all means I find [...]

Salmon Ramen at Wagamama

Been busy working on the computer since this morning, still didn’t find the time to buy any food for this week yet, oh’boy - first thing tomorrow morning I need to run to Shaws, otherwise there won’t even be any eggs for breakfast.

However, I am having a challenging time of finding [...]

Central Park and beyond

Taking advantage of the sunny warm weather, yesterday, got up early in the morning, and spend half a day in the central park before meeting an old family friend for late lunch on Madison ave. Half way point, my camera ran out of battery, I guess all these worry about my memory card’s storage I [...]

Inhouse Designer V.S Contracted Freelancer

Blogging from the Bolt Bus

As I mentioned earlier I’m on my way heading to NYC for a week, lucky enough I was able to score a round trip bolt bus tickets for total of $2 (no tax, how about that). However the timing was a bit awkward, when the buzzer ran at 6:45 I went back to sleep, till [...]

Public Relations: Do I need one?

Few days agao, A friend introduced me to a PR. Since I for sure don’t know the business aspect of running a publication - I really had no idea just exactly what does a PR do. After meeting with him I still have have no freaking idea, just exactly what they can do for me [...]
