This is my social graph, generated using Nexus on Facebook. I decided to try it out after reading Kevin’s post about how relationships on the internet tend to be clustered more by geography than shared interests, but I realised it was different for me. Mine tend to be clustered by my different “lives” or associations. I guess that’s probably due to the fact that unlike Kevin, most of my friends are in Singapore.
What does your social graph look like?
I actually managed to finish editting Episode 9 of Gear65 already, but since there’s still three more days before it’s up (Gear65 is usually up every Thursday, though last week I was late by a day…), I decided to give you guys a sneak peak of the episode by showing you a video clip we filmed during our recording.
Be sure to check out Gear65 this Thursday!
Taken on a Samsung WB500 in the Dual IS mode
I don’t usually post single photos on this blog, but I had to share this one with you guys. Like I mentioned, I’m now reviewing the Samsung WB500 for Gear65. It so happens that I met Willy Foo, Chief Photographer of LiveStudios.sg at today’s Linksys by Cisco’s Media Hub launch event. I, of course, had to let him play with the camera and ask about his thoughts on it, and I didn’t regret the decision one bit. I mean, who better to learn about a camera than the expert himself?
He showed off how good the Dual Image Stabiliser mode on the camera was by taking this amazing shot! When a prosumer camera meets a pro photographer, this is what you get!
So what do we think about the camera so far? Well, you’ll just have to stay tuned for next week’s Gear65 on Tech65.org to find out for yourself! 
Another HD video! Just got the Samsung WB500 for review at Tech65, so I decided to do a test HD video with it. So far, the camera has proven itself to be very powerful, more than I actually know how to take advantage of! Will be testing it out for the next two weeks, so email me at daniel at tech65 dot org if you want me to find out something regarding the camera.
Watch out for it to appear on Gear65!
More videos! This time, I found WiiSaber, this fun application that runs on any mac with a bluetooth, and connects to your Wii Remote, producing lightsaber sounds just like the Lightsaber Unleashed app for the iPhone. I’m still looking for one that makes the sound come out of the remote’s speakers though. If you know one, let me know!
P.S. This is the second HD video I’ve uploaded onto YouTube in 24 hours, and I realised that the HD version isn’t available this time. I’m not sure if it’s because there’s a limit to how much HD videos you can upload, or if it’s still processing the HD version.
Updated: The HD version was still processing after all. Check out the HD version above!
After almost a year, I’m finally wearing my watch again (thanks to a broken strap and too busy to send it for repair), so I decided to make a Gear65-esque video about this cool watch. I know, it’s not as cool as that LG watch phone we talked about on Episode 103 of 65bits, but it’s cool enough for me!
Oh, by the way, the HD version can be found on the youtube page!
My dad and I upgraded his MacBook’s RAM from 2GB to 4GB last night, so I took the opportunity to play with my HD camera again. Oh, and sorry about the shakiness. This was completely ad-hoc, and the mini-tripod wasn’t suitable for this kinda recording, but I had turned the motion stabiliser off before recording, thinking that I’ll be relying on it (The shaking was me trying to adjust/remove the tripod).
Otherwise, hopefully you can see what HD video is like from the Sanyo Xacti HD1000, at 720p, 30fps.

P.S. This video is available in HD!
Got this really awesome card from Hei Man today at Tech65’s 100th episode event at Geek Terminal. She actually made it all by herself! According to her, she learnt how to do from this website. Thanks Hei Man, I really liked it.
I had an awesome time yesterday at our event and everything went better than I expected it to be (apart from the small technical hiccup at the start of the recording).
That wasn’t the only gift I got today though…
Our new name cards are finally here! And I’m gonna take this opportunity to show them off to you, and as a reader of my blog, share with you a secret feature of our name cards too!
So don’t forget to collect them all! Get the whole crew’s cards and frame them up!!
P.S.: Thanks to Claudia, Rinaz and Ryu for recommending TommyPrint to us!
So Intel sent me their Core i7 rig to play with, and I decided to share with you guys my unpacking experience!
The specs for the rig:
UPDATE: Just found out that it’s not using a 80GB HDD but an 80GB Intel SSD!!!
