TieSight – super clever Mac app

03_audio_full.jpg

Here’s one of the more clever Mac app that I’ve come across lately. TieSight is an app that helps you tie the perfect necktie knot using your Mac’s iSight camera. How cool is that?

I don’t wear neckties myself but I could see myself using this app. It’s also really affordable at only $0.99. Check out the official website or directly on the Mac App Store.

Sorry I’m a little late, but Happy Birthday iPhone. It’s been 4 great years, we’ve been together for almost 3 years, and it’s been the best years of my life for mobile phones. My mobile phone history is now only known as Life before iPhone and Life after iPhone. I used to want to fiddle with every feature on my phone but now I’ve found all the features I need and contentment with you. I look forward to your new versions and if you continue to be awesome, know that I will stay loyal to you.

Magical Musicals – A West End Production in Sunway Lagoon

IMG_1343

I’m not a musical theatre buff by any stretch but I really enjoyed Magical Musicals showing now in Sunway Lagoon Amphitheatre. It is a high quality production with a cast of leads from the West End in London, a talented team of  international dancers, including a few from Malaysia. The show had songs from popular musicals. It had dancing. It had fireworks. It even had a Bhangra percussion group!

Check out some of the rehearsals, sneak peaks, and reviews for a taste. I think if you enjoy Glee, Moulin Rouge, Mama Mia, etc you will definitely enjoy Magical Musicals. The amphitheater wasn’t full which is a shame I thought – but on the other hand it meant that Pei Chyi and I could move closer to the stage.

Special thanks to @TourismSelangor for giving Pei Chyi the tickets in their Twitter contest. Follow them, they may still be giving out tickets! Otherwise you can purchase your tickets from AirAsiaRedTix.com

P.S. If you’re a arts and theatre noob like me (I’m not shy to admit it!) a musical theatre is basically a story told through song and dance. It’s not as boring as it sounds. Really.

By now many would have heard about plans for Apple’s new corporate HQ in Cupertino. Nitrozac and Snaggy fill in the blanks on the design.

Rich style sense

Usually I can’t stand owners of big cars but I have to tip my hat to this guy – he’s got an artistic touch about him.

My new favorite @echofon feature: Mute

Mute annoying clients and hashtags in Echofon

You can mute users, clients and hashtags. Just right click on the client name like above, or hashtag and click mute from the contextual menu. If you want to mute users, view their profile and click the options (gear) icon. Great for still following people and allowing them to DM you, but avoid all the noise in your timeline. Download Echofon for your Mac, iPad, iPhone and Firefox.

Osama is Dead

I have no love for this maniacal terrorist, so I just wanted to join in everyone in declaring OSAMA IS DEAD!

..was awesome. He’s a great entertainer and he can really sing. The show was definitely worth it, despite JAG Events messing up our tickets…

We weren’t allowed to bring cameras to the show so that’s the best I could get with my iPhone camera.
