Webdesign International Festival (WIF) 2008

WIF 2008

I did not know about WIF WebJam until last month from a very small article in newspaper. It sounded like a really cool idea so my colleagues and I signed up! Last night we started at 9 pm and just finished two hours ago. During the whole time I only took a 2-hour nap (but ate a LOT). Actually this is the first webdesign competition I’ve ever participated after working in this field for almost a decade, I do hope that we could win, but even if we can’t we are proud of ourselves. Check out our entry, the topic this year is “Water Is Life”.

New gadget in new year

SlingPlayer in action

Happy New Year every one! I’ve been very quiet over the holidays because I was so busy doing the books for tax return, running all kinds of errands and going to parties/gatherings/shows. So much stuff (trash) has piled up every where as I’m kind of hopeless in executing my GTD “Weekly Review” so far … so only when it comes to long holiday I got a chance to do it. It feels great indeed and I keep wondering: why couldn’t I do that on a regular basis? Sometimes it takes much more to be motivated, knowing something is right for you is not enough!

Slingbox in actionSo my first gadget in the new year? Slingbox Classic which I got from Three HK for FREE. What’s the catch? Extend my current mobile contract for 12 months. This box is selling at HK$1,880 retail price, so I figure it’s a bargain! I’ve never setup a device like this, so it took me quite a while to get it to work. I’m glad it’s working now, and you can see my desktop image here - watching football on NOW Sports Channel on my MacBook Pro! After enabling remote viewing, I could watch anywhere I like, even outside my home. All I need is just a computer with Internet access. Wanna try? Download the free SlingPlayer and enjoy!
