Random thought: Smartlocks vs Locksmiths

So with the recent growth of internet of things (IOT), smartlocks are inevitable. Just last week the $99 Lockitron Bolt was released where users can lock/unlock door to the home with just their mobile phone and no key is needed. I wonder what the impacts are? Would we freakout more then ever if we lose our phone? What does […]

5 Cool Things #11 25th Jan 2015

One idea: A motivational alarm What if there’s an app that wakes you up every morning and show you a different motivation quote? Rather boring right? Now, what if the only way for you to shut off the alarm is for you to read out loud the motivational quote? Start your day on a good note […]

Don't forget to remove email address from your Facebook

So here’s a funny story. I view facebook as a public platform, I see as a tool to promote and share things that I like or find interesting. Its also a good place to expand my network. Which is why I would add my work email address onto facebook so people I’ve met can add me on there […]

I spend a lot of time being scared

If I am to be absolutely honest about how I truly feel, I would tell you I am scared. I’ve long known about the Impostor Syndrome, yet I still can’t shake myself from it. I’m scared because of how little I know I’m scared I’m not really good enough to do what I’m hired to […]

6 lessons I learnt from Google EYE, trip to Mountain view

EYE stands for Empowering Young Entrepreneurs, it’s a joint program from Google HK and Chinese University of Hong Kong to help students and young entrepreneurs in Hong Kong to innovate and thrive in the startup scene in Hong Kong.

My Surprising Fear of Public Speaking

As a entrepreneur it’s inevitable for me to have to pitch my ideas to different people, whether it is to potential investors, partners, clients or just staff. I should be able to present my idea clearly. Last Friday was the 3rd time I had to present my idea in front of a group of people and […]

Experiment in outsourcing, a Chrome Plugin for YouTube

I know I should be focusing on one project at a time, but it’s often hard to shake a good fun idea out of my head once it make it’s way between the couple of brain cells I have in my head. I like to listen to interviews and talks from YouTube when I’m doing none writing work. But […]

Buffer, please tell me I am wrong. I want to give you my money

I really like Buffer, what they do is pretty neat, it saves me from geek spamming everyone continuously on stuff which I personally find interesting. I find it so useful, I have installed the browser extension on all my computer, have the app on my phone and on my Nexus 7 tablet. The analytics they can […]

Back to the world of HK startups! Joining Myflat.hk

Myflat.hk is local startup working on creating Hong Kong’s very own neighbourhood social network, it’s rather fascinating in what they (or we) are trying to build, […]

The innovation of Moleskine

I personally don’t use Moleskine notebooks, mainly because I’m cheap but I have to say I admire their products and branding. It is incredibly how far they have taken a simple notebook? I saw their new ad for a new range of notebooks and it is incredible, they now have ones for musicians, one for rough […]
