Had an interesting and eventful Saturday where I was invited to share at the PAYM Policy Forum @ Hong Kah GRC & Chua Chu Kang SMC. The discussion eventually centered more around policy making for online dangers i.e. what we more commonly know as cyber wellness topics like cyber security, cyber bullying, etc. There was a fair bit of discussion around Facebook privacy issues, especially since I mentioned that last week I could actually see very private information about my Facebook friends like their chat conversations, etc. Some of the tech65 guys were there which made the conversation more interesting. Of key discussion was whether the onus of cyber wellness and safety rested on the individual, the parents, the education system, or for that matter, the government.
After that,
the tech65 peeps went to record their weekly episode of 65bits and this geek tugged along as the first official member of the tech65 entourage. I’m sure if you listen to their latest podcast, you’d be able to identify this enthusiastic member of the entourage in the background, somewhere. Was my first experience of a 65bits recording so that was pretty cool.
The end of the super duper busy week was marked by a meal with the family to celebrate Mother’s Day and this looks like a pretty tough week ahead.
Just some ramblings as I take a break from work. Looks like a night where this geek won’t be getting much sleep.
