After much waiting (and hefty donations to ParcelForce aka British Royal Mail), I’ve finally got my hands on the first (hopefully of many) Jolla device here in Malaysia. Here are my initial thoughts on the device… It feels fairly hefty (because it is), but it feels good. At least it feels like you’ve got a…

GTA V: Lessons from Los Santos
Here’s a couple of things I picked up during my playthrough of GTA V that may (or may not) help you not lose hair/sleep. $$$ is pretty hard to come by until you finish the game pretty much – don’t spend on unnecessary (and expensive things). Properties can wait until you’ve got mad bank at…
Ubuntu Edge Stops Just Short of the Edge
The lofty ambitions of Canonical to crowd-fund $32 million in order to produce the Ubuntu Edge “superphone” is looking just a little too lofty at this point in time.

Jolla Concerns

After some (very little) research, the requirement of having expandability narrowed down my options of an Android device to just one; the Samsung Galaxy S3. This is a…

Grand Seiko in Watch Time Magazine (April 2012)
In my adventures of reading about Japanese watches (in particular Seiko and Citizen) – I came across an article in Watch Time Magazine which covered the Grand Seiko enigma. I’ve always had a fascination with Grand Seiko but obviously it’s always been a long way out of reach. Perhaps it’s time to start saving up…
