Thinking of which…

 

Hmmm… the first computer I ever used was Sinclair ZX81 with humongous pixel block there is. That was back in 1981. A year later, my dad bought me an Apple II compatible from Singapore (i think it was at Phoenix Plaza or something) and I really used it like a crazy kid with new toys… till I literally short circuited into smokes and flames.

Ahhhhh… WordStar … Ctrl-B and all…

But soon after, I got a brand new Apple IIe…. then Apple IIgs…

hehehehe damn … those were the days….. Amiga, Commodore 64, chess game Acorn…. or was it Argon… 

 

Think Different

I really love this…


The misfits.
The rebels.
The troublemakers.
The round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently.

They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo.

You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them.

About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things.

They invent. 
They imagine. 
They heal.
They explore. 
They create. 
They inspire.
They push the human race forward.

Maybe they have to be crazy.
How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art?
Or sit in silence and hear a song that’s never been written?
Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?

We make tools for these kinds of people.
While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.

Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

it’s from Apple’s Think Different commercial…

Quickie : MV Augusta

Thanks to Tun Dr. M, I found this link:

Harley-Davidson drives to snap up MV Augusta

MV Agusta, Italy’s legendary motorcycle maker that dominated international racing from the late Fifties to the mid-Seventies, has been bought by the Harley-Davidson group.

The deal, announced yesterday, gives the Americans total ownership of the company for only €70 million (£56 million), including debts of about €45 million.

Guess the current Government gonna have a field day answering to why they sold MV Augusta for 1Euro…

“MV is synonymous with very beautiful Italian motorcycles of superior quality. The acquisition of MV Agusta will enable us to strengthen the position of Harley-Davidson as a global leader that aims to turn its clients’ dreams into reality by offering them an extraordinary experience.”

Writing something…

Howdy all…

I think I’m gonna get my act together now…. and start writing blog seriously… and not like on and off like before.

I’ve been writing blogs for the past 5 or 6 years already but never really make time to keep publishing on constant basis. Hopefully, this time… it will be constant…
