The Bui Brothers are testing a pair of Olympus PEN E-P2 cameras. (It’s the camera around Lan’s neck here.) They’re micro four-thirds and um, AMAZING. I stole these photos of our lunch with Intel from their whrrlstream, check out that link for lots and lots more pretty pictures.

I love the vintage look of the cameras, they remind me of my old Pentax K1000! Gah, I have immense gadget lust. =/

said I’d never buy a point-n-shoot but the PEN E-P2 is pretty much a pseudo-dSLR but fucking cute. gah!!!!!!!!!!! it’s soooo expensive though :(

anyway, so envious of all you ppl at SxSW :)

"Gadgets have swept the world before, but mobile computing devices are different. Through applications and upgrades, they can acquire new powers. Apple alone offers more than 100,000 apps and has delivered more than 2 billion downloads. Phones are becoming maps, TVs, libraries, shopping tools, video cameras, car keys, and credit cards.
In more and more places, machines are running the world. On stock exchanges, high-speed computers armed with trading algorithms and superior pattern recognition are thrashing human competitors. Airline autopilots have become so reliable that human pilots can check out. In cars, software is beginning to assume responsibility for steering, braking, and parking. Drones are patrolling our borders, catching humans who try to sneak in. Computers are telling child-welfare agencies whether to take kids away from parents. Programs are running “virtual call centers,” measuring the output of dispersed salespeople and routing customer phone calls to the best performers. Computers don’t just work for us anymore. We work for them."

PACKET phone
Packet is the winner of Istanbul Design Week 2007 where it won the first place for this concept phone. It is a cell phone concept that measures 5 cm x 5 cm, about half cigarette package when folded and when opened it reveals 5 surfaces with the keypad, display, 2 mini keyboards with letters, and the center face with touch-sensitive button areas.
In fact, the entire cell phone is made of a material similar with the e-paper and is touch-sensitive. On the back it shows the time in large character format. Packet is extremely thin and lightweight, easy portable and would probably be made of eco-friendly materials

Blogging is hard work!

Never in my life have I put so much effort into one blog entry…

  • Translated an article from Chinese to English
  • Did extensive research on mobile platforms, trends
  • Tried to decipher a Taiwanese mobile tech’s messy website

…so read my article on mobile tech in Asia here :)!

About

Most of the time, my Tumblr is just a collection of favorite conversations, quotes, pictures, snippets of emotions and thoughts, and intriguing posts I find online.

Sometimes, I do more than reblog and write original entries shorter than those on my personal blog or tech blog but over 140 characters long. I might occasionally talk about my experiences running My Mom is a Fob and My Dad is a Fob...otherwise it's all stuff like #interiors, #architecture, #design & more.

Me? I'm a 21-year-old web & graphic designer, artist and photographer who studied architecture at UC Berkeley. I graduated a year early (bad idea), and now I can't find a "real" job.

Got any questions for me? Feel free to ask via Tumblr or Formspring!
