Beware the wrath of @DaveWiner !

Dave Winer

Beware the wrath of Dave, poke fun at his netbook and he’ll just crassly assume you’re a spineless puppet of Apple folk because they’re naturally the only ones who are uninspired by flimsy designs. I resemble [sic] his remarks… for one thing not all Apple fans are boys ;).

My 3rd Twitter anniversary today

Truemors on Twitter

According to @sing_twop_1000 who informed me this afternoon, I’ve been using Twitter now for three years. That’s a good thing… right?!

Biofuels ain’t no silver bullet thing

Chinese New Year on Orchard Rd

I fancy myself a bit of a greenie (I’ve even voted for them), but I’m not that impressed by biofuels, at least not so far.

Ruining people’s Google Reader feeds

I may be blogging too much.

just spent an hour catching up on 3 days of RSS feeds. About 1/3 of it was @rubenerd.

TweetDeck artefacts aren’t so arty

TweetDeck artefacts

Ever since August 2008 when I made the switch, TweetDeck has been Twitter for me.

Problem is, no matter what Mac I’m using it always "remembers" those red dotted lines denoting bad spelling.

Perhaps it’s just poking fun at the fact I make sppelling mistakes.

Foursquare sorta sells out, I’m on Gowalla

Foursquare

Previously when people would ask me on Twitter whether I used Gowalla or Foursquare I’d reply with Gowalla because Foursquare wasn’t available in Singapore or Australia when I started, and now that I have all my locations on there I may as well keep using it. Now it seems I finally have a concrete reason to keep using Gowalla:

@FakeAPStylebook: The word “totally” is redundant except when describing how rad something is.

Totally.
