Journey with the Pro

laconcept — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 15:38:28 +0000

一直想要有个爱好，因为总觉得自己一无事处。也想为自己铺个后路。希望有一天我不做OL,我还能依靠我的爱好赚取生活费。

Da-Dah…这就是我梦寐以求的照相机。虽然是心痛着那个价钱，不过我想从现在开始，我会好好的利用它，把我生活中的点点滴滴拍下来。

如果有一天，我失去书写的能力，我还能回到这里回味着我的过去。

悄悄地说。。。还蛮难用的。。。 lol.

2010 的开工日。雨

laconcept — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 14:33:12 +0000

第一天上班。雨天。懒洋洋的早上。

好残忍的一天。等待着雨停。只好呆在家里喝着三合一咖啡。希望喝完了以后雨就会停下来。只因懒惰的我不想提着雨伞上班。

可是天不作美。雨却越下越大。眼看着既将上班迟到。我只好下了心肠，破个小费搭的士去。从不知道原来的士费加到来要二十块左右。心痛啊！

就这样第一天上班就破了财。啊。。。不想上班！

2010年的夜景

laconcept — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 15:55:01 +0000

这样的一个夜晚，兴致勃勃地来到这个新地方。我才发现原来新加坡也有这么漂亮的夜景。只可惜如果没有车子的话，我想我不可能会来到这儿。别人常说有车子，有钱，就有朋友。你觉得呢？悄悄的。。打从我的心深处，我是赞成的！

忽然有个冲动，我想买一架DSLR Camera，然后再回到这个地方，尽情地把每一幅漂亮的角落，捕捉下来。因为我不知道下一次后的下一次，我还有这个机会回来吗？希望它会是更美的。

For now, client is haunting me again at this hour. arhhhh… first day of work tomorrow…

未来的日子。。。

laconcept — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 04:04:43 +0000

人啊。。总爱计算着自己在过去的一年里得到什么，然后计划未来的一年又能得到什么。这就是对人生的规划。

我啊。。却想在这未来的一年尽情的活出精彩。我想开始把每一分每一秒的记忆捕捉起来。

也许人渐渐长大，会开始懂得珍惜，开始懂得把记忆留下。

希望大家活的快乐！

Linde Werdelin: The SpidoLite Watch

laconcept — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 13:32:57 +0000

Horological aficionados trying to balance durability with weight have a stylish new option. The SpidoLite, from Danish designers Linde Werdelin, employs a titanium casing that drastically reduces the overall weight. Reportedly made at the request of mountaineer Morten Linde before he climbed Mount Everest, the casing is drilled into an “exoskeleton” form that further lightens the load while giving it a striking, incomplete appearance.

Particularly exciting for vintage watch fans, the SpidoLite uses a 1970s automatic movement that was personally modified by founding member of the ACHI, Svend Andersen.

The SpidoLite is produced in a single batch of only 44 and will officially hit the market at BaselWorld 2009. It’s expected to retail for €9,000.

Zero-G Watch

laconcept — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 13:27:04 +0000

Tokyoflash is famous for making unique and unusual watches, pushing the limits of time telling. We often find the light shows a little too flashy but the mix of retro styling and an innovative display make the Zero-G appealing. With a sleek and slender profile, you might not have the hardest time telling the time (although it still takes a little getting used to) but you will have fun doing it.

From the body to the mirrored LCD face, the Zero G has a simplistic design that carries through into the display. An arm (like most analog watches) points to the hour and a segmented curve around the edges marks the minutes. All in all, telling the time isn’t much different from regular watches, it just takes a little practice. (It’s nothing like some of Tokyoflash’s other watch designs, where you basically can’t read the time without a manual.)

Besides the LCD display, the Zero-G wields a surprisingly sophisticated frame. In either black or silver, weighing in at just 60 grams (a tad over two ounces) and built around a strap that’s barely thicker than a dime, the waterproof beauty is both uncomplicated and at the same time everything you need in a watch.

It’s available from Tokyoflash for ¥9,800.

Max Bill Chronoscope for Junghans

laconcept — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 13:13:28 +0000

In 1962 Swiss artist Max Bill (1908-1994) created a few mechanical watches for the German company Junghans. Reissued in recent years, most were and are very simple-looking, too understated for my personal tastes. But this rare Chronoscope model has a certain something. Its minimalism is just plain attractive. Apparently this particular version isn’t sold anymore and the only one I could find was here

A product of the Bauhaus generation, Max Bill was Walter Gropius’ pupil and kindred spirit of Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe. Characterized by a clarity of design and precise proportions, his work as a painter, architect, sculptor, teacher and designer amply demonstrates his virtuosity as a designer and creative artist.

WD TV HD Media Player – to play your downloaded video on the big screen.

laconcept — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 00:53:26 +0000

One of the most frustrating things that still hasn’t gotten any better in the digital age is the ability to view digital media on the family television. Sure there’s AppleTV and SlingCatcher and a host of others, but what about just being able to literally plug in your hard drive or camera that’s loaded with pictures, videos and tunes and start playing it all back instantly? Well, it seems that Western Digital has finally cracked the code with its WD TV Media Player.

I recently put the WD TV Media Player through its paces and it’s not only effortless to get up and running, but it’s affordable, too.

LaCie iamaKey Flash Drive

laconcept — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 01:51:35 +0000

LaCie has just announced the iamaKey, itsaKey and passKey USB flash drives. They have a design that I can’t believe hasn’t happened until now. They are shaped like – keys.

Available in 4 and 8GB versions, the iamaKey has a metal body and Gold SIP connectors, making it both water and scratch- resistant. It is also ReadyBoost compatible.

It comes with a protective plastic clip for the Gold contacts, but this is probably something that will get lost really quickly. The body of the flash drive feels really solid and I am betting that it will be able to easily survive on a keychain with other keys. If you have a worry about the contacts, you can opt for the itsaKey. It has a thicker body with a covered connector. I like the look / size of the iamaKey better.
