Brilliant piece of kit and by far the most usable phone I've ever had. Just last week Wordpress released a native app which I've downloaded and played around with it and I must say it's one of the better made apps on the App Store, and it's FREE too! It...

It feels weird, like all the other milestones you have to go through. Going from primary to secondary school, finishing secondary school and going to college, turning 18, 21, 24, finishing college and starting work, moving to Australia... When you look back they seem small and insignificant,... jonathanpoh 2008-01-22T12:21:27+10:00 http://www.jonathanpoh.com/blog/archives/000484.php Just had dinner with Chris last night. It's been such a long time since I'd had a proper catch up with him, even though he's been back in Melbourne for quite a while now, and we see each other every once in a while but with other people and environments where it's not very conducive to conversation. It was a nice dinner at Mecca Bah... friends jonathanpoh 2007-06-08T13:44:12+10:00 http://www.jonathanpoh.com/blog/archives/000483.php Web designers are under-represented and 'hidden' under the guise of various job titles, according to Zeldman. If you're a web designer or work on anything related to the web, regardless of your job title, take the survey and be heard. ... jonathanpoh 2007-05-03T17:37:11+10:00 http://www.jonathanpoh.com/blog/archives/000482.php Inspired by Chris DiClerico's Toy Dubai photo, I followed the same tutorial and made this fake tilt-shift photo of the Melbourne skyline taken a couple of weeks ago. The tilt-shift effect makes the photo look like it was taken of a miniature model of the city. I'd seen this done before some months ago but never looked into finding out how it is done... melbourne jonathanpoh 2007-02-16T10:22:36+10:00 http://www.jonathanpoh.com/blog/archives/000481.php Mint 2.0 is out!

Another year older, and my final year of my 20s. Hmm, that sounds a bit scary. I overslept and only woke up at 10am which is quite unusual for me. I left making any plans for a party too late and so I sent out a mass email invitation to everyone I know in Melbourne for drinks at the...

To make matters worse, my registrar was rejecting my debit card which I had been using all this while with them. Seems the problem wasn't with the card itself but the fact... life jonathanpoh 2007-01-04T17:34:03+10:00 http://www.jonathanpoh.com/blog/archives/000477.php I got a Wii for Christmas! I just couldn't believe it when I opened the wrapping. It was from Simon, who I'd been telling about for months now, suggesting that he might even be interested in playing despite not being interested in games on consoles or computers. I couldn't wait and had to set it up immediately and it came with everything in the box,... jonathanpoh 2006-12-30T14:31:29+10:00 http://www.jonathanpoh.com/blog/archives/000476.php I'm still around in case anybody is wondering. Sorry for the lack of updates, but things have just been so crazy busy since I got back from the UK in September. I can't believe it's less than a week till Christmas, and how quickly it's crept up. Didn't seem so long ago I was scoffing and how ridiculous the department stores started putting up Christmas... Australia jonathanpoh 2006-12-21T11:51:03+10:00 http://www.jonathanpoh.com/blog/archives/000473.php Monday morning I actually managed to sleep right through without waking up in the middle of the night! It was a good thing that I managed to adjust in just a couple of days. Simon's advice to just stay awake all day and keep busy rather than succumbing to it and taking a nap was right, hard as it was at times to fight the... jonathanpoh 2006-08-21T02:10:16+10:00 http://www.jonathanpoh.com/blog/archives/000472.php It's been a few days since I arrived in the UK, in Leeds. Jet lag has hit in a pretty bad way. The flight in itself wasn't too bad, actually. We left Melbourne at about 9:30pm so by the time they served us the meal, and watched a movie, it was bedtime anyhow. I was so exhausted from the late nights of work I've been... jonathanpoh 2006-08-14T01:30:36+10:00 http://www.jonathanpoh.com/blog/archives/000471.php In about a month's time I'm making a trip to the United Kingdom. It's all very exciting, I've never been there before, or anywhere in Europe for that matter. It would be the furthest I've travelled and the longest time spent on a plane, though the flight stops at Dubai, so it's not too bad, I hope. The trip will be a welcome break for... travel jonathanpoh 2006-07-09T01:04:47+10:00 http://www.jonathanpoh.com/blog/archives/000470.php I've done the video game geek thing and went out this morning to the city to be one of the first in Australia to get my grubby hands on the pristine Polar White Nintendo DS Lite. There were no block-long queues like in Japan, or the opening of an Apple Store, though. The first place I went to was EB Games in Melbourne Central, where... Gadgets jonathanpoh 2006-06-01T12:35:24+10:00 http://www.jonathanpoh.com/blog/archives/000469.php I've decided I'm going to get a Nintendo DS Lite which would be available in Australia tomorrow, 1st June 2006. I've listed my Nintendo DS on eBay, so if anybody is interested in getting a pre-loved NDS, go take a look. It's in good condition, with only a few scuffs and scratches. I'm also thinking of selling my GameCube, which I've not touched for a... ebay jonathanpoh 2006-05-31T10:35:26+10:00
