return Wednesday Clicks   The Return

Yes, Wednesday Clicks has finally made a come-back after absolutely no requests for it over the past 6 months. Nevertheless, I would like to stick to it again and bring up some new links and news from about as well.

Only to return on a Monday, I have decided to return my old trend of providing some interesting links as well as excerpts from other sources which either inspire me or give some sort of educational value.

First up for this week:

  • I’ve only started reading some inspirational blogs lately especially to gain some insights of what I can use in life as well as apply at my job which has been consuming a lot of my time lately. Just see when was my last posting and you will know why. Anyway, I thought that this article on “How to be good at something” is very relevant and useful to us all no matter which industry you might be in.
  • A good book review on the “The presentation secrets of Steve Job” can be found over at Duarte’s blog. In case you don’t know who Nancy Duarte is, she is the owner of the company that came out with Al Gore’s “The Inconvenient Truth”. I get plenty of corporate presentation tips from her although I still find it hard to apply some of the design principles into corporate slides.
  • In case you have been living in a nutshell, Louis Pang recently launched his new training portal called WedShooter. Check it out over here, sign up quick and get a discount for a year’s subscription as well as his World Tour DVD!
  • Scott Kelby has a recent posting on what every new Lightroom user should know. Check it out especially in particularly that you are new to Lightroom as well as trying to figure out what Lightroom is about.

…….that is posted on a Thursday.

So I got carried away with work yesterday and totally forgot that it was Wednesday. After being carried away, I ended up being so excited over catching Transformers 2 that the movie ended so late and I just got back. Yesterday, I went for dinner with a bunch of crazy photographers (so crazy that they can even make balloon dolls for you) at Delicious at Midvalley. Me, being me, driving all the way from Cyberjaya, I ended up taking photos with my trusty iPhone instead. But today is not about EatFest, today it is about Clicks, and by clicks I mean my usual list of interesting links.

  • Check out this gallery of amazing photos that was taken with a camera phone! This further elaborate on my that it is the photographer behind the camera that makes the pictures (I said this during my workshop last Saturday).
  • With so much hype about the government wanting to keep a register of bloggers, some say that bloggers are killing journalist. I beg to differ and so does this article.
  • Want to know how much Twitter has grown? If you don’t know what is Twitter, just join Twitter.com and add me in @markleo82
  • Has the law finally caught up with Rapidshare?
  • Check out this huge debate on what went on at Matt’s Adobe Lightroom post. Very interesting and great arguments from both sides. The story originated from a guy who wrote a nifty little program that when you enter in a Flickr image, it will calculate out and create a Lightroom preset to achieve that effect. Some say it is stealing but some say that it isn’t because no one can copyright Adobe Lightroom settings. If that is the case, no one can use +10 Saturation, + 20 vivid and vignette.
  • Become a better photographer through the critique of others. What can I say, the title of that article says it all. Which was why I implemented what I have learned from Louis Pang‘s workshop and did a simple critique session for the workshop which I held recently as well.
  • Check out this interview with Landscape Photography Legend Art Wolfe at Digital Photography School. Here is the link to Part 1 and Part 2 of the interview.

A brief Wednesday Clicks this week but watch out for this space, I have a whole new blog revamp coming up soon and no, I didn’t do it myself. So it is going to look way awesome!

June 17, 2009

Its Wednesday today and you know what that means, more interesting links out! I have for one thing learned recently that it takes friggin a lot of discipline to work and study at the same time. Anyway, before I skew off even more, let’s check out what is new this week.

  • I know everyone is waiting for the iPhone 3.0 OS to be release for their iPhones. Well this isn’t really a link but here are some links to some new applications which will be launched as well. Tweetdeck for the iPhone (YAY!) and MapQuest is releasing their alternative software to the GoogleMaps.
  • I posted in last week’s Wednesday Clicks about a video which theBackPackr created for the McDonald’s competition to win the iPhone. Guess what? They won the challenge and are now proud parents of the iPhone 3G.
  • There are rumours of a leaked press material for the upcoming Nikon D300s. I am not too sure myself if it might be real.
  • If you wanted to know more about Adobe Lightroom and how to maximise your workflow, Jon Low, a professional wedding photographer of IdealWedding has just the right answer for you. Thanks so much for sharing Jon!
  • Check out Timothy Tiah’s blog post on his holiday to Phuket. For those of you who are curious on just who Tim is, he is one of the founders of NuffNang which is a blog advertising network. One of the reason why it’s up on this week’s WC is that there is an interesting link in his blog post I found, it was in regards to a travel agency which handled his trip, PYOTravel.Com. I checked out the site and it definitely has very cheap prices. Site booked marked.

Before I finish this post, I would like to remind you that there are 3 ways you can eat “pan mee”.

The first way, which is the most common one is to eat it in the form of a noodle soup.

The second way is to eat it in the form of dry noodles with an accompanying bowl of soup.

The third way, which I think this new restaurant is trying to revolutionize, is to eat it frozen.
chilly Wednesday Clicks
Dang, chilly “pan mee”, do you top it up with ice cream?

Anyway, this is another branch of super kitchen’s chilli pan mee which is located in SS2, near Ang Kee restaurant and further down from Kayu Nasi Kandar behind Lim Mee Yoke restaurant.
