If you are working on multiple projects, managing multiple clients and yet have a family, you might relate the the following scenarios. What would you do?
I was real nice to attend ATRIA Bloggers Unconference today. Its the first time i’ve seen like minded Christians coming together to discuss about technology, new media, etc.
I arrived and was surprised that a personalised tag was provided. It even had a tag cloud on it which was generated by… i’m guessing www.tagcloud-generator.com. A very nice touch.
Paul Khoo introduced what ATRIA is and what it hopes to achieve and gave everyone an overview of the evening.
The evening then started off with 3 speakers sharing their views and knowledge of the New Media Scene. Nicholas Aaron Khoo shared about what the New Media space is all about, highlighted several impressive stats on what has happened over the past few years and highlighted how everyone should be relevant. Shing then continued and reassessed the whole fundamentals of New Media all together. I missed the last speaker as i had to go out to take a call.
The session then broke into discussion groups and naturally i joined the Technology Frontier as the other 2 were on Faith and Collaboration. We all introduced ourselves and the discussion then kicked off immediately with ideas, fundamental questions, views, concerns, etc. I enjoyed every moment of it.
I think there will be a video that will be put online soon by Atria… If it does come on, i’ll add to this post.
I have to say, overall, i’m quite impressed on the level of maturity and professionalism in the discussions and do look forward for the next one.
Amidst my busy schedule, i took leave today to bring the kids out. I planned to bring them out during the June holidays, but just did not manage to. Today we went to the Singapore Science Centre, its time to see if the kids are interested in Science or not.
We came across some really cool devices and one of the cool ones was this spinning water thingy. Apparent the faster the the column of water spins, it will leave a large void in the center.
There were so many exhibits there. Everyone had some educational value which is cool, but its really difficult to explain science to 4 or 6 year olds.
This interactive board was very well done. It will grow plants, buildings and some other items. There is also a cat that will try to hide under what ever items you place on the top. The cat will basically keep finding shelters.
Then with the string, if you make a junction, Trains will start appearing. Then if you made an oval, the shape fills up with water and ducks start swimming in it.
Can you spot Daddy, Clié and Cleo?
Then after viewing almost all of the exhibits, its water play time and the kids had a blast.
Now, all showered and dressed, they both fell asleep in the car on the way home. What a wonderful day we had.
I see the king of glory
Coming down the clouds with fire
The whole earth shakes, the whole earth shakes
I see his love and mercy
Washing over all our sin
The people sing, the people sing
Hosanna, hosanna
Hosanna in the highest
I see a generation
Rising up to take the place
With selfless faith, with selfless faith
I see a new revival
Staring as we pray and seek
We’re on our knees, we’re on our knees
Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like you have loved me
Break my heart for what is yours
Everything I am for your kingdom’s cause
As I walk from earth into eternity
10 years ago was the peak of Aggressive Inline Skating aka Rollerbladding but now better known as Rolling. Back then one of the most consistent and humble skaters to me was Jon Julio. With his serious non-flamboyant smooth skating style, that made him a skater to be respected.
Now more than 10 years after the peak of the sport, Jon Julio runs Valo and is still in his love for the rolling lifestyle.
Its time to go skating…
