In yet another “we’re still here” messages, the US Air Force conducted an elephant walk of F-16 fighters in Korea as part of an exercise.  An elephant walk is what guys called it when planes were lined up along the taxiway heading off on missions back in World War II and the name has stuck [...]

I can’t begin to accurately describe the scene on the walkways outside the Hong Kong Apple Store. Last night, an unofficial line of about 400 people was broken up by police and security details as the lack of organization and chaos was leading to some tense scenes, even some fighting. Today the lines are back, [...]

They love their Apple gear in Hong Kong, and they also love to line up to get it.  In fact, this line of about 150-200 people outside the Hong Kong Apple Store isn’t even “official”–it’s just people milling about waiting to get into the official line that will start “soon” according to some in the [...]

File this under #WTF or #CRAZYJAPANESE I was in the City Super grocery store in Hong Kong when I just had to snap a picture of this. Obama Sauce. It’s about $12-$15US a bottle, and from the description sounds basically disgusting. But before you go off and say ‘whacky Japanese’ you should remember in China [...]

I’ve been busy here in Hong Kong coming up with some new gadgets, and the first one is now ready through Makible.com. An iPhone / Android laser range finder attachment.  Simply place this against the wall, snap a picture, and the app will tell you the distance.  Pretty cool stuff. Available Now       [...]

Just a few pictures from tonight’s vigil at the Apple store.  That’s @hypercasey on the ladder, graciously provided to us by the IFC Security Team (who were also handing out post-it notes).  @angiewong is there giving interviews as she was the coordinator of tonight’s event.

This was the scene at the Hong Kong Apple Store in IFC Mall.  First flowers arrived (with the subsequent media mobbing the mourner).  Tonight there will be an iVigil at 7:00PM where Apple fans will pay their respects.

The video I made this morning at the Apple Store Launch. (note: Youtube still processing high quality HD video version).

I’ll have video up shortly.  

Spent the morning with the Apple fans and media checking out the new Apple Store in Hong Kong.  Basically it’s an Apple Store, but with a few tweaks here and there for the Asian market, such as a slightly different POS payment system, and more iPads on the floor than you’ll see pretty much at [...]

They took the curtains off the Apple Store and are doing some staff training by the looks of things.  Still on target for an opening this Saturday. The store is going to be very ‘bright’.  Huge windows opening to Hong Kong’s skyline and lots of light will make this a very sunny experience.  Hope they [...]

The worst kept secret in Hong Kong has been that the rather plain looking construction in IFC mall Hong Kong would soon be a new Apple Store. In fact those who use Foursquare have been able to check in for months now to a store that to this date has just been a bunch of [...]

Was poking around the post office today looking for some stamps when I came across a new issue from the HK Post Office which looked oddly familiar. The Volunteerism series of postage stamps contains one stamp which shows an “An email from co-workers brings good news on school redevelopment. Children’s smiling faces in the photo [...]

Given my recent review of Suckerpunch, I thought I’d continue along the same vein of films that in which I was “sold” based in large part on scenes from the trailer. For example, the picture along the right here probably goes a long way to explaining why I wanted to see the movie Gantz. Gantz [...]

So what else do you do when you are waiting around the Star Ferry terminal for a meeting? Get a sandwich was first on the list, and then I just made some movies for the heck of it… Yes, I was bored. Arriving on the East Side of the Pier. Arriving on the West Side [...]
