D98W14:08Ap2011:1138+65 Michael's Log
Those were the days when we still sailed the 7 seas and the captains have a ship log detailing their journey. In the modern world we call it web log or shorted to (we)B LOG and Television has captivated us with Star Trek whose captain also has a log of their journeys. It is however dated using the stars and called it stardate. I got no idea how that works. Maybe I will just do some research on it and post the inner workings of a stardate. I would love to talk to an astronomer. If you are one reading the blog, let me know if I can do an interview.
So let's dance, you and I. I have not really wrote about my stroke but I have spoken about it. Yes it was a mild stroke. Physically, mentally, asthetically I am fine. The only side effect from the stroke was that I lost feelings to my left side. My entire left side. I am like Harvey Two Face. Maybe I am and some memory lapses. There are days where i know the words but it just doesnt appear. You know the feeling where you know the words but it just doesn't come out of your mouth. There are parts of my memory that seems to have gotten lost somewhere. Faces and names, places and things, conversations. Ok i am going to explain this is a geeky kinda way, where you know you work on a version of a document on a a computer word processing software and then because of a hard disk or power failure you only manage to recover work that you have done up to last week. What you have done from last week up till now is gone. The bits are there, you just need to piece them up together to complete the picture. Some are truly gone, some are a like an unfinished jigsaw puzzle they are all over the place, you just need to join them up so that you get the complete big picture. It feels like that sometimes.
Act 1. This week been a busy week and i am stll uncertain where I will be. Someone is telling me to get out. Move on. Take the plunge and never look back. Need to cut those strings. So I produced another 3 videos I did not post since I was running Twestival. Got the Sony Ericsson Play and Arc Hands On demo out and an Interview with FlickEvents Founder - Yan. Which was recorded sometime back.
Act 2. Preparing for a Bi-Weekly Production of an Indi Musician Talk Show/Showcase. This is a bi-weekly event at The Pigeon Hole - a new cosy joint that I hang out pretty often just because of the company and the homely feel. It will be livestreamed and recorded. Also part of the network that i am producing.This would be the network's biggest live production and the first with a live audience. It will be hosted by Nicholas Chim. This is however not my biggest or the first with a live audience.
Final Act. Interviews, Interview, Interview. Spoken to an Asian German who started about 3 start ups. We started off such an interesting conversation that I decided to let it all sink in and left the recording for another day. It's the 3rd time I met him but the very first time I get to have a more solid one on one conversation with him. It's also interesting to have a conversation on the hardships of entrepreneurship. Unfortunately he won't be back for another 6 weeks. Will catch up with him then and follow up on our conversation and this time in a recorded format.
I have another interview today. One with a good friend who has started a development house.
