Price War!

Netvigator has joined the price war for broadband internet access service. It's offering HK$99-a-month plan for local public housing residents, as Hong Kong Broadband and Hutchison have both kicked of the HK$99 plan for a period of time. Their plans seems greatly eroded the market. Now Netvigator is responding to their price cut, but the offers are only limited to public housing residents. Would the tactic be able to rescue Netvigator?

Kindle Arrived!

I went to Mainland China for a short trip this weekend. When I arrived home tonight, I found an Amazon box waiting for me! Thanks Text100 people for arranging the opportunity of reviewing this brand new way of reading.

I deliberately placed the ebook reader next to my Vaio P, so that you could see how portable is it.

From now on, I could have 2 weeks to review Kindle. I'll post my share here later.

Revive the memory of Punch Party HK 3!

As I said before, not many people from the English blogging community covered the local blogger-initiated event - Punch Party HK. Thanks to Lisa and Hungjai, one of a great lady blogger, we could always enjoy the great moments of the party. Here are some of the clips I think you would enjoy.

People waiting for registration

Karen Tam of Harbour City gave an introductory speech

People donated for Greenpeace

Greenpeace presented their works

Fred Lam's presentation

Ryan Ng's presentation

Haka Dance Performance brought by Air New Zealand

Haka Dance Contest

Some of you might not be able to understand the Cantonese speech, it still worth watching the videos to feel the atmosphere. If you feel interested in the party, my post "Random Thoughts on PPHK3" might be a good reading for you.

Win an LG cell phone

What are on your Christmas gift wishlist? A game console? A diamond ring? In case you really want a new cell phone, come enter the LG Holiday Survey - which asks you who is your hero.

Seems LG love to do this kind of festive survey. Last year, they did a project on the favourite Christmas gifts.

By filling in 14 multiple-choice question, you could enter their lucky draw, which could earn you a brand new LG phone. LG will announce the result on 30 Nov 09.

However, if I were LG, I'd avoid to survey about the topic "hero" this year.

Pseudo Notebook... or Real Notebook?

My friend bought these two "notebook-shape" notebooks from a local shop. One is IBM; One is Sony. The Pseudo Notebooks are actually real ones... I mean real writing pads. 

I especially love the "Sony" one, as the notebook is named "Wow". compared with the original Sony notebook name "Vaio", this name is particularly interesting.

Random Thoughts on Punch Party Hong Kong 3

As one of the committee members of Punch Party Hong Kong, I dare not say it was a grand success. Yet, I enjoyed the sharing atmosphere, as over 200 people were accomodated in a guest room in Ocean Terminal with a marvelous night view of Victoria Harbour.

Our speakers did great jobs. They introduced their very own perspectives of travel - Alex, Ryan, Fred, Karin... everyone of them told their interesting stories to impress our audience. Which story did you love the most?

Like what we did for Punch Party Hong Kong 2, we invited an NGO to the party. It was Billy from Green Peace who shared the vision of the organization. To further benefit Green Peace, those who donated more money to Green Peace will have better chance in winning prizes like PSPGo, Canon Camera and Printer as well as SK-II product in the lucky draw. 

As a major sponsor of PPHK3, Air New Zealand was granted several minutes to introduce their things, but they didn't talk about their business much. Instead, they invited a team of Haka dancers to the event. The special performance was simply wonderful. Even after the event, people talked a lot about Haka dance on Twitter.

There were goods and bads for this PPHK3. Some old pals, like Edward, Hang and Dom, already gave me advices, like how to streamline the marathon lucky draw process.

Having experienced 3 Punch Parties in a year, the third one is the most impressive to me. I gotta thanks my fellow committee members. They have done a lot to make this impressive event happen.

Brilliant Digital Arts Project

I watched this in Wired's YouTube Channel.

See how the art interact with computers, lights as well as audience? It's amazing. 

It reminds me of my trip earlier this year in National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts. I saw a stunning digital art project, which make use of several Chinese literature to create marvelous visual effect. I enjoy the project in the middle of a circular room. The visual elements came in and went out - and was surrounding me. 

Though watching through YouTube may not deliver equally stunning feeling, it worth take a look. Hope you enjoy it!
