I should say this about last week’s National Day Parade: I was involved in the parade three years back, in 2002, in a fun job - I was attached to Mediacorp for part of my National Service, and helped do comms. So it was nice to see the credits for the parade roll and some familiar names roll by - a big hi to Omar Palil.
With that out of the way, here’s a grab-bag of stuff I’ve chanced across this week:
- Man dies after 50-hour video game binge.
- A Flickr map of Springfield, town of the Simpsons, complete with notes. Now which way is Capital City? Also check out Map of Springfield.
- Lachlan vs Rupert Murdoch in the battle for the NY Post. Because I like these familial battles.
- Superdownsize Me: losing weight at McDonald’s. Spurious?
- Car alarm rage. Okay, shooting the offending car is a bit too far, but who doesn’t understand the feeling?
