Since 'the geek shall inherit the earth', this geek is just waiting for his day to rule the world. In the meantime, he is a young Padawan for CNET Asia whilst toying with a myriad of fun stuff disguised as work and pretending to advise companies on tech business and new media strategies. His playmates range from startups, (un)Fortune 500s, to government organisations. Subscribe to Geekonomics by Email

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.
Ravana and TH15 of Team 1MS has done Singapore proud by winning the Dawn of War 2 Asian Finals organised by Replay Interactive, THQ, and Gigabyte at the 2010 Taipei Game Show!
Besides USD1.5k cash, they also win for themselves a Gigabyte M1305 laptop each complete with an additional dock that has a graphics card to add on to your graphics capabilities.
It was a nail-biting finish between Singapore and Taiwan as Team 1MS lost the first round to the Taiwanese boys due to various hiccups. More on their exciting finals here.
More photos from the tournament and the of 2010 Taipei Game Show can be found here.
Over the next couple of days, this geek will not only be bringing you coverage from the rest of the 2010 Taipei Game Show, but most important from the Intel Extreme Masters where Singapore will be represented by Team Titans.
So, this geek had absolutely no idea what to do when approached by Asia Pacific Breweries (APB)’s agency on hosting a party promoting savvy drinking. But they knew it was a cause close to my heart having seen my tweets and sure enough, I decided to host a party to promote this cause amongst my friends. To start off, I checked with some friends what date was best for them and then sent out a video invite along with my email invite:
Guests who signed up received this ‘e-ticket’:
(this ticket is Joe's, the dude who helped me take some pictures of the party)
This geek had many crazy ideas for my party, including Read more…
This geek’s disciple “GReekonomics” decided to throw a party to atone for his failure in learning his master’s true abilities:
Pretty excited about tomorrow’s party, though I’ve had absolutely no time to think about it nor plan it. Too bad the invites are ultra-limited and max-ed out already due to the limitation of the room booked.
A big sorry to all you reading this whom I couldn’t invite!
Woe to those who are coming though, for they have no idea what’s gonna befall them. Neither do I. Bwahahaha! Well, here’s a little hint for my 10-odd guests:
DreamHack is the world’s largest and most popular digital media festival. Situated in Sweden, DreamHack plays host to thousands of gamers twice a year, numbering up to 12,782 attendees last winter. DreamHack has netted itself three Guinness World Records in 2004, 2006 and 2007 for being the largest Read more…
Nokia new Nseries flagship puts your personal internet experience into your pocket
SINGAPORE, 5 June 2009 – The highly-anticipated Nokia N97 finally arrived in Malaysia and Singapore to much fanfare at a unique Web-themed launch party held at the Mandarin Oriental Kuala Lumpur. Guests were treated to an immersive Internet experience that combined all the Nokia N97 has to offer – social networking, localised Web widgets and application, multimedia capabilities and a personal touch that exemplifies the S60 5th edition touch experience.
As the new N-series flagship device, the Nokia N97 brings the features and power of Read more…
So this geek is in Beijing now witnessing the launch of a flurry of new HP products like the HP Pavilion MS200 All-in-one PC, HP Pavilion DV2 Entertainment Notebook, HP Probook S-series, HP Mini 110, HP DV2 notebooks (refreshed with AMD Dual-cores), HP Skyroom, Thin clients, and the Z series workstations.
I’ll be doing a series of posts on this on CNET Asia and you can follow my live tweets here while I try to live update my CNET Asia blog now with more information on the HP Mini 110.
Many people tweeted this. Found it quite amusing that all the iPhone users are having problems at the US geekfest. No, I don’t think AT&T realises that geekfest is in Austin. Fail.
