Microsoft is trying to break the hype. Yes, boys & girls. Stop believing in the hype that Macs are a lot cooler than PCs. And they are not kicking Seinfeld out from their new commercials. For 10 million bucks, they gotta get their money’s worth!
I’m beginning to realise that it was worth it for me to have missed the “straight” road to success. The people I’ve met & worked with during my freelancing career & early, unconventional entrepreneurship (still going strong, mind you), there were people that basically understood my strict work ethics & quality. Somehow, I feel more appreciated when I’m being judged by merit, not by personal views & academia.
Too bad I’m in Malaysia.
Working holidaymaker. That’s my 2009 resolution. For the 1st time in my life, I finally have a new year resolution that’s achievable.
Well, that seems to be the news.
I like this guy. Strong vocals, enormous talent. This music video is for his first & hit single after American Idol, “Crush”.
Fucking cool. Somebody from Anwar’s camp really know how to use the Internet. First wave, the rise of blogs. Second wave, rise of visual media distribution. Third wave, rise of small, interesting, useful services. Malaysia memang slow sikit. But this is a sign of progression in Malaysian politics, where they now are using (almost) freely available new media tools & services to distribute their message across. Politicians are just like celebrities. They just want their faces to be out there. And this will greatly increase the adoption rate for these tools in Malaysia. A perfect marketing game.
JamLegend is really a freaking cool online game service. Their concept is based on the infamous RockBand & Guitar Hero game franchise, JamLegend takes it to the Web. And the Web is the place they should be!
The game is still in private beta, but from my first showdown with my colleagues, JamLegend has a very promising future. Indie bands & unknown musicians has a future at JamLegend. Imagine allowing your fans to jam & play your best single. They will love it!
The showdown is a fucking great feature. Here are screenshots from my first jam.
P/S: Thank you to GigaOM for beta invites. They’re giving out 1000 of them, so start jamming!
Well, well. Everybody seems to be getting into the “blogging” phenomena, and now Tony Fernandes has his own blog too. When AirAsia launched their blog, I really thought it was good move. They integrate their content closely with their services, which is a pretty smart move. Very smart. They should have done this way back before the “blogging” waves reached Malaysia.
Update: Found Tengku Zafrul’s (of TuneMoney.com) blog as well. Looks like the Tune Group is setting the standard.
No, not your momma. But Sarah Silverman.
And now, he’s banging Sarah Palin. What’s up with Matt Damon & chicks named “Sarah”?
