Mizuno Creation 8 – Heavy! Considering Polar RS400SD

Did another short 15km run yesterday evening with my old Asics DS trainers. This time it actually felt easier to run with the lighter shoes- the Mizuno is too packed with so much technology inside it simply just too heavy for running (>more than 300g). True the Mizuno have much better cushioning than my almost- disfunct DS...

Digital Image archiving and retrieval of the future

(Show more to view video) Some fancy image manipulation and retrieval program, this is technology which revolves with more people using it. I guess the idea of taking flickr sets to reconstruct 3d architecture is simply amazing! I think the demo is running off a standard conventional laptop, so we might be able to all more optimized...

Excellent Ban Leong Repair and Customer Service

Well, got some time now to blog about some flashbacks early this week, particularly getting my 'ol computer speakers repaired. And yup, got my 6 year old Altec Lansing 4.1 speakers repaired at Ban Leong Service Center in Ubi. It's wired connector was damaged due to wear and age, otherwise everything else is ok. Actually I almost...

Health and Fitness Noticeably, with the exception of the recent Sheares bridge run, you may know that I had not been running regularly these days. Not to mention...

Advertlets Blog Ads Network, putting the ‘Bling’ in ‘Blogging’

You may notice that I am running a new ad campaign from Advertlets.com. Here are some highlights on what this rather interesting blog advertising network offers. Advertlets.com is an Asian blog/weblog advertising network that offers the remarkably sensible proposition of targeted, unintrusive advertising on user's blogs and website that benefits the online advertising need of clients as well...

Alexandra/Tanglin Park Connector Running Route

Alexandra/Tanglin Park Connector One of my favorite central urban running routes to date, this route brings you through the breathtaking and calming estates of Alexandra and Prince Charles road alongside a canal in a straight forward closed (and no-brainer) route. The track was opened by Mr Lee Kuan Yew around 2006 and is often frequented by the residents...

Sheares Bridge Run 2007 Thoughts

:mrgreen: Done with the main report, here is the more personal report: Looking back on the half-marathon today my target timing was a sub 2hour which I barely hit which a gun time of about 2hours 8mins so the nett time will be below 1hour 55mins. The run felt strange today namely hitting a fatigue wall prematurely...

It tough being a SBS transit bus driver these days

Looking into the limelight of the events happening recently with regards to SBS transit bus drivers, don't you think SBS transit is acting too harsh on bus captains now? Taking the incident this year of the Indian elderly lady who fell from a bus which simply drove off, only laughingly being treated by a driver from a competitor...

2007 Standard Chartered Volunteer Registration Opens

Volunteers are the backbone to the mounting success of the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon since its first inception in 2002.
