Dawn of a new multimedia era

Posted on January 31st, 2008 in Geeky say say say

Some of you might have already noticed the new Wall along the entrance / exit of the Orchard Mrt station , it was the first for me and it was more than just pretty lights for me. This wall is lighted up by thousands of led lights controlled by a system and they placed it behind these milky glass that diffuses the light and what we get is some very dreamy ambient lights. I must applaud them for finally doing something different, this is definitely a benchmark in the interactive/multimedia installation business and it is good news for me. I took a look at the interior of the glass panels being the geeky investigative me and immediately I thought wow, this is kinda overkill because that is not even a rgb screen display. Well anyway they have the money so why not. Have a look at it anyway.

RFID World

Posted on January 26th, 2008 in Geeky

This morning I went to the Bedok Camp to do my physical fitness test, while I didn’t do as well as I hoped to be, I was quickly distracted by the new system that they were using. Everything was automated! You just have to scan your card and you are good to go, it was so convenient and time saving. While I was waiting, I couldn’t help thinking about what technology they used and at the same time I thought ” Hey welcome to the RFID and sensor World!” In case you wonder what the hell RFID is, it is basically something that everyone uses. Yup. Our train cards have a rfid chip embedded in it that stores data and communicates with the card reader to exchange and store information. There is a wide range of applications for it. So anyway, I think this is a post interactive syndrome that I got from school.

Mission Impossible

Posted on January 23rd, 2008 in say say say

The seemingly impossible task of cleaning up my room has been achieved. Each time i try to do this i get the difficult decisions of throwing things to make space or keeping things because i like keeping things of sentimental values, in my case im a sentimental person so ya, that means alot. Anyway hurrays, it is clean. I no longer have to look for a space to land my feet on when i wake up. I also made good use of my tons of comics, i used them to make a shelf for my electronics so i have a nice little section of electronics stuff now. Awesome. Every cleaning is a good time for re-discovering my forgotten past, things that are too everyday to really remember by. Today I found some old photos and stuff. But no i don’t enjoy cleaning it up , it’s only because my screaming mother is threatening to kill me that i’m doing it.
