A few days back i posted about the book i just bought called The Race for the New Game Machine. The book was written by 2 IBM engineers who were involved in creating Sony's Cell microprocessor for PS3. The book basically tells how they developed the evolutionary Cell processor from start to finish. The processor touted to be groundbreaking and could change the computer industry entirely. Sadly, yesterday Ars announced IBM will halt the development of Cell micoprocessor. This news indicate that this microprocessor died prematurely before anyone can utilize the full potential of its capabilities.

Since i've started blogging again, I've been thinking, isn't it great to have one unified underlying theme to my blog? According to the shrewd social media experts, it is good to have one to monetize your blog( eventhough i have no intention to make money from this blog). Take a look at 37signals' Signal vs Noise for instance, they've only one underlying theme behind their blog which is design and usability. So every posts there mostly talk about design & usability. They've done a very very tremendous job there. Ofcourse you need to be an expert in that specific area to create a blog like that. That have become a stumbling block for me since I can't find anything I'm good at. But worry not people. It is easy to look like an expert nowadays. Here's the tip. Just copy anything cool(read:geeky) that you discovered across the net ( and twitter), post em on your blog and dun forget give some geeky thoughs. I swear you'll look like an expert. Don't forget to put your picture holding a DSLR camera on your blog. It comes very cheap today even rempit at Pavillion can afford one. Perhaps, I just can be a narcicist blogger where I only talk about myself. It is easy to talk about yourself though, the topic can be varied from your dentist appointment, night out to karaoke session, ultra-sonar picture of the fetus in your womb, your frustration at the your workplace, breakup story where your partner found a new hotter gf, newly-born baby or the stuff you just bought at Pavillion. Being a nonconformist blogger is not as bad. Just disagree with your surrounding. Curse everything that is done by your local government. When people disagree with you it's easy to retort back, just come out with one surah or hadith that support your statement. Rant about the local celebrities whom are not as Muslim as your are. Just be insecure about other people's belief and write something about it. You also can write on how western civilization can lead to the world destruction!!

or should I let my creative juice flow and write anything that i want freely?

These pictures were taken during my so-called graduation day to honoured the accomplishment of hour 3-month 'rigorous' on-job training at T-Systems. No, it's not the normal college graduation day where you have Vitamin C's Graduation Day song playing all over. Guess what? We are now a full-time employee there! (what a surprise) It was attended by His Excellency, Dr. Guenter Gruber, German Ambassador to Malaysia. His fluency in Bahasa Malaysia is very astounding. He got applauded every time he finished his Malay sentences. I'm gobsmacked, really.

Since I'm already a full-time worker here. I shall stop blogging and get back to work.

2 books but 2 busy to read em.

Just bought 2 new books yesterday. one of em is Malcolm's Gladwell latest book called What the Dog Saw. Haven't found any spare time to read it yet. Another one is The Race for a New Game Machine. The latter is quite an interesting book. It uncovers how Microsoft "steal" some technologies from PS3 project to develop Xbox 360.

Too bad, since i've started working, i cant really find a good time to enjoy my reading.

All Systems Go
