Thursday, December 24th, 2009Calling all you foodies – ChefDB
Friday, November 20th, 2009The film industry has IMDB. Now the food industry has ChefDB. What a brilliant idea. It’s a database of restaurants, who works in them, where they’ve worked and related links.
Genius.
Now, you can track your favorite chefs. See when ratings started going up or down.. and why. You can see where else these same people have worked in the past, to find other restaurants that you might want to go to as well. Or where they are headed to in the future, so you can bookmark that as a place you want to try out.
Pure Genius.

iPhone 3GS MADNESS!!!!
Saturday, July 11th, 2009So, Apple and Singtel has just released the new iPhone 3GS here in Singapore. And I’m in line to pick one up.
MADNESS!!!
I’m sure I’ve mentioned before that Singaporeans love to “queue” or line up for thing. They also love good deals and they have a love for new tech gadgets. This has led to the most unholiest of trinities. A 5 hour line!!!
MADNESS!!!!
And the deal is so good I can’t pass it up either. I’ll be able to pick up a new iPhone 3GS for only S$38 this weekend with a 2 year contract. Normally it’ll cost S$1200 to buy it outright. Nuts. Absolutely nuts.
Here’s a pic of the first line of 3 that I’ll need to get into to purchase my phone.
