Blogging and Plotting

One needs to plot well to blog well. This insight came to me, after the fact. I attended two literary sessions at "The Arts House" in Singapore this week. If I wanted to portray the dynamics of people in both the sessions, I need photos and video. As it is harder to integrate video into blog, the next best thing is photos. Yet, I missed taking photos that brings to life the interactions, even though images would have been still static in nature.

This plotting of a blog is akin to travel photo-journalism. One has to bring out the adventure with both words and photos. Words alone to me would be too boring. Photos alone will not express that emotion behind the image.

The lesson is to plot ahead to blog better.

I will be changing my Blog title to "Sight to Insight", after a good comment from a friend who has since immigrated to Australia for a change in life-style. For me, it is also a change in life pattern, as I bring insight (learning) from sight (observations in life) to some of my readers who are so immersed in their "plot" to wealth and fame, that they may have forgotten the "blog" of life is passing them by.

Soon, that familiar question will arise, "what difference have I made in the lives of others?"

Leave your personal comments - your "insight" may help others to "see" something they could have missed.

A Blog that Integrates

As I experiment with blogspot which is part of iGoogle, I am beginning to feel its power to integrate. The article on Natural Cure, is posted directly from Google Docs (Beta) in which the original resides. This is the first time I attempted this action, and it works seamlessly. I can now easily write an article in word document, store it in Google Docs (Beta), and then publish it to my blog. If you go to the Links on the left and click on the "Pictorial Journey" you are immediately taken to Picasa, which is also part of iGoogle. In this photo storage, you are able to see what I have put in as public photos. You can also have private photos which are not shared. I have not tried video, as it takes time to edit for something that is worth sharing. Google has purchased YouTube for a few billion dollars, and this means you can integrate video as well. I am sure it can be linked to e-Bay which you buy and sell your stuffs and many more. I have to keep this experiment going to opti...

Samsung Omnia i900 - ActiveSync and Productivity

Upgraded the firmware as I noted that the camera is taking very bad pictures. The auto mode on white balance does not produce the color tones. In fact, as I stated in my feedback to Samsung; that the pictures produced such whitish colors as if the people are 'dead'! This is unfortunate, as the output is worst than my previous Nokia N73. After the firmware changed (PHONE/PDA: i900DXHJ1/DZHJ1), the pictures from the camera is a lot closer to the original color tones. This is the good news. The bad news is obviously that I have to reinstall all the files and external programs. The ActiveSync initially would not work, and I went to Samsung at Vivocity (Singapore) to talk to the folks there. Finally got it working again, where I can synchronize with my Outlook, where all the phone database is. I cannot sync with the server, as the corporate server is highly secured. The synchronization of the phone and Outlook (my work "portal") is the key to ensuring I have the critical d...
