With my MacBook Air, I aim to have less tabs open… Its got something to do with having 2GB of RAM, maybe.<\/p>\n

Yebber<\/strong>
\nMaybe I like somewhat ditsy looking girls, but if you’ve never seen Lunch with Yebber<\/a> I highly recommend it. Good food within Singapore is the aim. Only complaint? I have to watch it in-browser, and not on my iPod. I find it interesting that Yebber is aiming to pay people<\/a> in “Yebber dollars” for reviews. Its definitely a motivator….<\/p>\n

At the e27 Unconference, it was asked if Wikipedia was started in Singapore, would it have been that successful? I think if the Wikipedia equivalent that is Mahalo, was started in Asia, and there was monetary gain, it will be very<\/em> successful.<\/p>\n

PDF Import in OpenOffice.org<\/strong>
\nFirst up, you know that OpenOffice.org 3.0 beta 2<\/a> is out now, right? In that case, take a gander at the Sun PDF Import Extension<\/a>. Its limited: no PDF form support, no editing say in Writer (it just works in Draw and Impress), but its a good start.<\/p>\n

Charlene Li leaves Forrester<\/strong>
\nIts an interesting<\/a> reason:<\/p>\n

I was once asked what was the best career advice I ever received — and it was to plan for job obsolescence every 18 months<\/a>, because research showed that people typically master a job in that time period and fall into a routine.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’ve yet to post a review of Groundswell<\/a>, but in short, its an excellent book.<\/p>\n

Religious Social Networking<\/strong>
\nZoeCity<\/a> is a network for Christan folk. The idea behind it is sensible (shared values, etc. – get in the mind of an evangelical person, its “interesting”), and I know what database they’re powered by, and I’m hoping there’s traction for them to hit scalability issues so it’ll be an interesting story to talk about :)<\/p>\n

Shinsei embraces open courseware too<\/strong>
\nShinsei Bank is releasing their banking methods (normally a closely guarded secret), as open courseware<\/a>. Of course, it will be licensed under the Creative Commons. They’re on YouTube<\/a>, so don’t hesitate to watch their video<\/a> about them announcing the release of their IT methods. Hat tip, Joi Ito<\/a>.<\/p>\n
