eChelon 2010 – Asia’s Leading Web Technology Event in Singapore
Well, this is not a post about the event itself. That would be redundant, since you can learn more about it yourself and buy tickets directly by heading to http://www.echelon2010.com, so why don’t you click on that (opens a new window) while you continue to read.

More In One Installation
Live reporting from AMK: Paid for 6 Mbps, got 7 Mbps! But it’s 4pm in the afternoon.

Long weekend at Neoteny Labs
In all frankness I should have been asleep. So I have to bluff myself on bed that it’s a working day, and I have to crawl into a conference by 8am. Both today and yesterday. By the time I reach the main auditorium, fortunately, the weariness vanished, and it felt like attending some lecture in [...]

Check out www.singtel.com/appzone.

Ong Jiin Joo is a Business Development Manager in SingTel Innovation Exchange. Much of his life thus far has been straddling the technology world and the music world, and nothing in between.
