Congratulations!!

To all,

Last night in London I received the award for the no.1 position in the DJ MAG Top 100. For me this is a dream come true. I am also very happy with the idea that so many people took the time to go online and vote, as it’s an award from dance music lovers all over the world. I consider it a big honour to receive this.

I could have never done this without the support of thousands of clubbers and fans. At the end of the day, they decide. Also, I owe a big ‘Thanks’ to all the promoters, clubs, agents and all other people that supported me during the years. You know who you are !!

Thank you.

A trip to Malacca old town will not consider as perfect if without the Chicken Rice Ball.

As recommended by the taxi driver, we tried the one served in the Chung Wah kopitiam. You probably will not miss this little humble shop if you are coming from the direction to Jonker’s Street (Jalan Hang Jebat) after visiting The Stadthuys. Cross the bridge over the Malacca River and the shop is just on your right hand side after the bridge, opposite the OCBC Bank.

Try to be there early and avoid peak hours (lunch time) if you are those impatient type. Don’t forget to order lime juice (plain ice water with lime inside), it is simply complimenting the meal.

Small roundabout before the bridge.

What if you could snap a photo or shoot video using just your umbrella?

That’s what Sho Hashimoto, Shingo Iwata, and Takashi Matsumoto are developing with Pileus: The Internet Umbrella.

The Pileus system is described as a “mobile tangible browser to make rainy days fun.” The umbrella is Wi-Fi-enabled with a built-in camera. A Pileus user can take a picture or video using the umbrella, and the media is uploaded to Flickr or YouTube. Then, the user can twist the handlebar, which contains an RFID reader, to scroll through the content on each site. The media content is projected onto the umbrella’s underside. The team also hopes to integrate GPS sensors into the umbrella to be used as a navigational system.

It is as bad because accident-prone.

^{Let Me Know - Roisin Murphy}

Murphy’s official webpage announced on July 6, 2007 that the song “Overpowered” was not chart eligible but instead was used as an introduction-single for her start at EMI. This means that the first physical single release from Overpowered was the song “Let Me Know” (released October 8, 2007)
