chris, victor,

Oops... sorry to put up some age-ist remarks! I felt quite old there myself as most were 20 something males with a lot of energy and spunk!

Walter said, “Most were young, hot-blooded males…”. It’s no wonder why most of us don’t understand the subject of this post. I suspect that we have long past that stage of life.

Aiyah… Chun See linked it to CS because the banner screamed: Main Supporter – IDA. He’s juz sore he’s not getting any PB. Wahahaha…

Sorry Walter, I also know nuts about Nexus. But the spread of food is enough to make me sit up. Maybe I’d sign up next year …So what if I stick out like a sore thumb and no longer “youthful”, … Heheh.

So, how much PB you got?*whispering*

chun see,

Hmmm... thought I already provided the requisite links? He he... Nexus has little to do with Lexus although both are also about technology and user experiences! It is a seminar on largely social media trends and movements. I will be putting up more posts over the next few days which will illustrate what it means.

BTW, I don't quite get what this post has to do with civil service pay?

tigerfish,

Hmmm... agree with you that it is probably far easier to attract interest in the web-side of things compared to the harder parts of technology. The Singapore tech-scene is more inclined towards the user-side of things as opposed to the hardcoding and nuts and bolts. While we do have a very high percentage of bloggers and participation in online activities, as well as a very vibrant tech retail scene, our expertise in the engineering and programming side of things are still relatively weak.

I am sure that the time will come for you one day. Just hang out less in the blogosphere and more in First Life!

Hey Walter, you must have been watching too many Lost and Prison Break tv shows. After reading thro your whole post, still don’t know what is Nexus. Is it new competitor for Lexus? Civil servants getting high pays eh?

For some time, felt the digital movement is the only PROJECT/ investment that has been successful in SG. Guess it's something which is closest to the consumers, so the impact can be felt almost immediately, and considered the most tangible.

Technologies such as the hard-core semiconductor(which happens to make digital technology work), the biosciences, and now even the clean energy projects will never enjoy the same success limelight as the digital movement.

BTW,hearing Nexus for the 1st time, so can't comment too much on that. Initially, I thought it was some car related stuff (coz I associated with Lexus! LOL!)

Thanks for the nonsensical blog post. The two tech-chick magnets don’t seem to be working very well 😛
