A sneak peak at Gear65 #9

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!

Unboxing an iPod (HD Video from Samsung WB500)

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!

A cool gift for our 100th episode of 65bits

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…

To tell the truth, the event wasn’t supposed to be the way it was yesterdat. Originally, we were gonna be in the upper deck of Geek Terminal, and I was personally hoping we could use the screen and the sound system. The night before, NTT and I went over to Geek Terminal to discuss some final details of the event today with Michael, the operations manager there, and discovered, to our horror, that he wasn’t aware of our event, and that the place was already booked at the same time as ours. We knew the mis-communication was our fault. Michael was really awesome though (that’s why I love the guys there, they just can’t stop being a blessing to me), and offered an alternative solution, which is to turn the front of the bar into our event area. In the end, the new layout made everything cosier, and made the atmosphere a lot better than it would have been.

I realised that I still panic when stuff don’t go right, even though I know that all things will ALWAYS work together for good for me. The night before I was worried the event would get messed up, but now that it’s over, I look back and see Daddy God’s finger prints all over!

Fingerprint 1: Geek Terminal was supposed to be closed on Friday, yet when I arrived, I saw Michael there. According to him, he was supposed to leave and close up the place a lot earlier, in which then we would have missed him and result in totally chaos the next day, but because the people he was supposed to meet were late, he was still around by the time I got to Geek Terminal. In fact, he closed the place right after NTT and I left. He then came up with a solution for us, and NTT and I thought of ways to take advantage of the change in location.

Fingerprint 2: The event was obviously a lot more succesful thanks to the new layout! That’s when I realised how perfect things went for us. In Christ, even our mistakes prosper. To me, that was the best gift from Daddy God that I could recieve for our 100th episode, His presence.

I find it strange how our emotions somehow take a while to learn the lesson, despite the endless flow of testimonies and Him redeeming me everytime without fail from circumstances. The good news is that things can only get better, for my God has seen my future, and He declared to me that it is good!

In His love,

Daniel

My new thumbdrive from heaven, and 65bit’s new Jingle

Daniel — Sun, 09 Dec 2007 03:34:35 +0000

As most of you know, I had a very long Saturday last week. What with 65bit’s 50th episode, and another awesome Arrow service. It was a late night, I was tired, and I knocked out the moment I touched my bed. I woke up super early the next morning to pack my bag to book into camp, and as I was unpacking it, I found a small Postpac package to “Daniel Tsou, Beloved of the Father ” and “from: Open Heaven”. I was surprised of course, but I was in a hurry too, so I thought of maybe opening it in camp. Good thing I didn’t, cos inside of it was a 4GB Sandisk Ducati thumbdrive!!

There was no note in the package, no letter, and the geek me plugged it into my mac hoping to find some sort of note or something. Nope. Nothing at all. But boy did that thumb drive make my week. I called my caregroup, Hei Man, Farinelli and Jerrick, but no one knew who it was from! It turns out that my bro Edwin had won some competition, got it for free and decided to bless me with it. Man, am I blessed!! Thanks so much bro!! To be honest, the biggest thumb drive I have is only 128MB!! That’s right, the founder of Tech65 only has a 128MB thumb drive…

In other related news, Edwin has also written us a brand new Jingle for 65bits! It’s pretty cool sounding and finally something unique specially for us! We’ll probably only use it from Episode 52 onwards because NTT wants to do some levelling on it first (an audiophile is always an audiophile…) I’m not gonna spoil it for you, so just wait for it next week! Thanks again bro!!
