The Ang Mo’s Back – Again!
Our best bud and family friend was going to be in the region for a tech event, so took the opportunity to visit and stay with us. This is his fifth visit to Singapore (2006, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2015) after
Nissin i40
The battery cover door of my 2 year old Metz 50AF-1 flashgun broke over the Chinese New Year period – *groan*. The flashgun still otherwise works fine, though it still has that odd quirk about having to dial in a
Panasonic DMC-LX100 – Part 2
Continuing from my earlier post of what’s working well on the LX100! The first LX100 that I picked up from the shop tested fine there. But barely 20 minutes later when I’d left the shop and was on my way
Panasonic DMC-LX100 – Part 1
Almost five months ago I did a post on large-sensor compact cameras. And after a fairly long back-and-forth period of indecision since that point, I finally decided yesterday and picked up the LX100. The contenders alongside the LX100 were the

2015 is one of those lucky years when the Lunar New Year falls just before the weekend, and extending the long holiday weekend for us too, and we got to enjoy a good 4.5 day stretch. Last year‘s family pictures
Kids @ 17mm, 25mm etc. – Part 27

Plugable UD-3000
The Plugable UD3000 arrived from Amazon export sales late last week, just a shade under a fortnight after placement of order. I couldn’t find a local reseller for this (for the most part) well-reviewed USB 3.0 docking station, and the
A Week (or so) Later: SP3 vs XPS13
My follow-up post to the SP3 and XPS13 after having put both through two and one weeks of respective use. My initial intentions for both devices were to leave the SP3 at home and for the XPS13 to be the
Kids @ 17mm, 25mm etc. – Part 26
Incredibly; more than 3 months have whizzed past since I last did a photo post on our two kids! Hannah has been growing both in understanding the world around her and also in her sense of independence and decision-making. We’ve
Dell XPS 13 (2015)
The Dell XPS 13 (2015) finally arrived yesterday afternoon – 2 days after the initial projected delivery date. I’m not absolutely certain of the reason for the delay in assembly, but from what I’m reading on online forums about others
Accessorizing the Notebooks
It seems that my new Dell XPS 13 (2015) will take longer to get delivered now. Several days ago, the online status of the unit inexplicably changed backwards from “Work in Progress” to “Order Received” – the latter state of
Microsoft Surface Pro 3
The Microsoft Surface Pro 3 arrived at our door-step WEDS yesterday evening. Pretty quick. The Microsoft point of distribution was in Shenzhen China. The order was placed on Sunday evening, processed the following afternoon by DHL, picked-up by the courier
