Ambon Adventure

Saturday, November 8th, 2008 by tony

Instead of writing a trip report about my recent visit to Ambon, I played around with a web 2.0 service I’ve been watching for some time to put together a multimedia essay of sorts. The service is called Vuvox, and essentially, it allows you to combine various media forms into online shows and presentations, which [...]

Ambon Slideshow

Friday, October 31st, 2008 by tony

I posted a few images from my recent Ambon trip on Flickr (slideshow below). I’m still working on a summary of my trip (”contemplating” is perhaps a more accurate representation than “working on” at this stage), which I’ll post when I finish.

A Day on Mabul Island

Sunday, June 22nd, 2008 by tony

Instead of writing a long blog post about my recent trip to Sabah, I decided to put together a video essay, posted below:

The original file is posted at Blip.tv, which is one of the many online video hosting sites that have popped up in the past couple of years. I’m still trying them out, so [...]

Me At Work?

Saturday, June 7th, 2008 by tony

I’m still struggling to catch up with emails, work and life after my getting back from my latest trip. On my list of things “to do” (unfortunately very far down) is to write about some of the things that happened.
Hopefully I’ll have time to do so, but in the meantime, here’s a short video clip [...]

One minute, the exhibition hall is filled with people, the low rumble of background chatter, and booths crammed with equipment, brochures and other knick-knacks.
But as witching hour approaches, a barely perceptible, but omnipresent low-level hum inevitably resonants through the venue [...]

Tea Twister

Sunday, May 18th, 2008 by tony

There are other shows going on in the same venue as the dive show, including one devoted to food. I couldn’t resist taking a quick video of this unique method of making tea. Sure makes a plain old tea bag seem dull.
I wanted to spend some time taking photos of this talented tea twister, but [...]
