Creative minds, '00 style
Why have I been sharing mashup videos this morning? We’re about to close the decade (either in a few hours of in 12 months depending on how you calculate stuff) and the rise of digital media along with the widening of creative outputs have placed copyright issues and content protection as one of the major elements of the decade. I figured the way today’s minds process creative output...

Jim Lehrer, Infotainment, and Luna Maya
Lehrer’s Rules • Do nothing I cannot defend. • Cover, write and present every story with the care I would want if the story were about me. • Assume there is at least one other side or version to every story. • Assume the viewer is as smart and as caring and as good a person as I am. • Assume the same about all people on whom I report. • Assume personal lives are a private matter, until...

Free Dessert
Doesn’t look much but they taste fantastic. Even better because it was free. Their service was really bad it got Brett to complain about it, so this was complimentary. Sent from my iPhone Posted via email from A Geek Dad’s Log | Comment »

New Apple stuff at iBox Plaza Indonesia
Apple’s 2009 lineup is almost complete at iBox APR at Plaza Indonesia. The 27” beast of an iMac has just arrived, Magic Mouse is in stock, as well as the new aluminum Apple Remote. No sign of the 21.5” iMac yet. I wonder why they didn’t just activate the screensaver with a password or lock the screen from Keychain Access on that iMac. Btw that remote is BIG. Humongous...

Direction for Koprol?
@rampok: Koprol and Foursquare both existed in Singapore. Should be an interesting battle.
@aulia: @rampok difference is Koprol has no game component. I wonder how they'll differentiate. Also, Koprol faces competition from Buuuk.
@rampok: @aulia @neofreko I'm more worried about Koprol's tagline : Indonesia's location-based social network. *facepalm*
@ivansielegar: @rampok @aulia @neofreko - I think Koprol is still finding the identity. So, Tagline is no biggie. You can always reborn yourself later.
@aulia: @ivansielegar they need to figure out in one sentence what they do. I'd be happier once they have it and make it SEA wide.

Low on Gore, Big on Eye Candy
“…the special effects fail to give any real credibility to this grisly movie. The slashing seems unrealistic, the flayed wounds look dry and unconvincing, and for a movie that is supposedly a bloodbath, this 80-minute thriller just doesn’t show enough red liquid.” Jakarta Globe reviews Air Terjun Pengantin, the latest Indonesian slasher movie Posted via email from A Geek Dad’s...

Entertainment Weekly - Iron Man 2
Excited about the next installment of Iron Man on the big screen? Here’s a pic Is it me or does Robert Downey Jr. look like he’s about to burst if he can’t get to the bathroom in time? Oh and the super tanned Mickey Rourke, he looks a bit like he’s black, almost a parody of Downey Jr. in Tropic Thunder, doesn’t he? :D ScarJo unfortunately looks plastic on this cover...
