It’s been a roller coaster ride these last few weeks, trying to get Hackerspace.SG up and running. We are officially launched and featured on Saturday’s Straits Times news in the Home section. Even my Singapore MVP lead caught wind of it and wrote a blog post on it. I’m very happy that everything is slowly [...]

It’s been some time since I’ve last blogged, and I’ve been really busy writing reviews for CodeAndroid. Here’s my latest article for them reviewing the HTC Hero.
