Wednesday Clicks

Since I am on a totally different time zone (its supposed to be 1.20pm in KL now but its only 12.20am here in Chicago) so I decided to post pone the post a little bit to suit my time here. Frankly, between 8am-7pm classes all day, I am thankful that the sun does appear about later than usual so that it doesn’t feel that late. But nevertheless, I haven’t gotten used to waking up at 6am everyday so that I can head over for breakfast before class. Food here is absolutely fantastic and fresh strawberries every morning! Ok, I have to be honest, my breakfast is usually made up of pork cumberland sausages, with pork bacon and scrambled eggs and of course, the creme de la creme, free Starbucks coffee. Yeah, that is the life I can get used to.

Anyway, back to this week’s click.

  • Head over here to download Coldplay’s live album, absolutely free!
  • Check out this new blog released by the New York Times called Lens. I guess the name explains it all about what the content of the blog would be.
  • This week’s guest speaker at Scott Kelby’s blog is none other than Vincent Versace. I was introduced to Vincent Versace by Kee Sitt. This led me to purchase his book last year and to be perfectly honest, I have had just a glance through it but never really study it yet.
  • New leaked specs about the upcoming iPhone which is predicted or assumed to be launched on the 17th of July. Can anyone say, Organice Liquid Emitting Display ten times?

That’s all for this week. Its late over here and its time to sleep. I guess it would be easy to get over the jet lag now since I have had a couple of drinks at the local bar earlier.

Wednesday Clicks

Okay, so I missed out my weekly Wednesday clicks and this time, I am back with more interesting links. I have been sort of isolated from most of the social media networks at work because Facebook has been banned and I only can check Twitter via the web which is quite hard at times. Anyway, enough about my troubles, here you go.

  • If you can view YouTube whereever you are (I can’t view YouTube at work), check out this video. Totally awesome especially if you love Taylor Swift’s Love Story as well as Cold Play’s La Vida Loca. I love the dynamics of the song, just beautiful.
  • ShootFest 001: The Wedding is coming (6th and 7th June) and I will save a post just to explain a little more about what it is.
  • Something I may have written before but I am writing it here again, if you don’t know what Nikon DTown is about, check it out here. It is a website which shows episodes of Scott Kelby and others giving tips on how to use your Nikon DSLR and even with guest appearances from Joe McNally teaching about using flashes.
  • There is a new NikonSchool.com website out now. Check it out if you are free.
  • A little bit of political news on what is happening now as I am typing out this post. A political activist has been arrested under the Sedition Act.

To be honest, this post has loads of Nikon stuff and I will definitely try to limit these single-brand focused type of posts. Heck, i love Canon’s 5D Mk2 for its amazing 21MP of pure joy as well as Canon’s 50mm and 85mm f/1.2 L lenses. Although there are rumours that Nikon will be releasing their latest AF-S 85mm f/1.4 as well as the 28mm f/1.4. Definitely going to be some sweet lenses but after my recent purchases, I am flat out broke.
