David Olsen on Twitter said something this morning which I think is endemic of the reason why Microsoft is being crushed in the consumer space and can’t understand why. For once, a more serious post here on Rubénerd.com!

One would think a website celebrating Singaporean SMEs would be sponsored by, say, the Development Bank of Singapore not the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation! I suppose it’s like the Bendigo Bankbuying the short lived Bank of Adelaide despite the latter having 17 times the population of the former.
Aiyo, bank make no sense, lah.

While I’ve been able to unsubscribe from most email newsletters because they either offer an RSS/Atom equivalent or because they’re pointless, some contain personal information which can’t obviously be syndicated in the clear.

Along with all the talk about IKEA decking out Paris Métro stations with couches and lamps as an advertising stunt, there have been a ton of comments that pretty much follow this formula: "That’d never work in New York, the subways here aren’t clean like the ones in Europe!"

Don’t you just love my posts with disparate sentences strung together without any cohesive train of thought? Train and Thought start with the same Romaji. Wait, is Th and T considered separate? I think I’ll stop now while I’m ahead.

Got an email this morning from Google claiming one of their advertising products will be retroactively branded as DoubleClick. Huh?

I’m typing this post from a small café next to our hotel in Dublin and boy it’s freezing! There’s snow lightly falling outside and the footpaths are slick with ice which has caused more than a few bruises in the last few days, but we’ve still been thoroughly enjoying ourselves! Anyway I was going to save blogging until I got back to Singapore, but I couldn’t resist when I saw the above ad.
