Randy Pausch Dies

Randy Pausch (1960-2008), creator of Alice dies at 47.

I have earlier in Sept 2007 blogged about his very inspiring Last Lecture HERE which is so much about living rather than dying.

See the news HERE and HERE.

Life is really fragile indeed.

The world will miss you Randy, rest in peace.

Why is life so fragile...

life and death is all part of life...
it is one thing to see an old man goes...
it is another to see a young life ends...
one had live his life...
the other had yet to begin...
to hold the hand of a young boy...
and see his life ending...
the feeling of helplessness...
is just all too overwhelming...
why is life so fragile...
why is life so fragile...
why is life so fragile...

iPhone: Now You See It, Now You Don't!

Here is my iPhone...sorry...WAS my iPhone...



Now you see it, now you don't..it's SOLD for a small profit via http://forum.lowyat.net/. :)

I attended the GDCSE’08 The Third Annual Microsoft Academic Days Conference on Game Development in Computer Science Education which was sponsored by MDeC and Microsoft, and we came back with an Apple product!! :) 4 out of 5 of us who went there from Malaysia bought iPhone at Miami Beach !

The iPhone is very nice and still kind of sad having to sell it. I bought the phone without being sure I really want to keep it or not. At first I thought I could use it using my extra free (as TM staff) Celcom Sim card, but unfortunately it does not work with my 3G Sim card, the non-3G one is okay. After much thought and knowing the fact that 3G version of iPhone is coming out soon, and the fact that I still quite like my one year old Nokia N73 phone, I decided to sell it for a small profit.

Oh, I have yet to blog about the trip which was from Feb 25,2008 to March 05,2008 on board of the Celebrity Century cruise ship. Shall blog about that when I have some free time, here is a photo:
