the entry babbling techno-geek

consider this: what do you get when you have a warehouse-like event, housing a phantasmagorical gamut of vendors, peddling the latest gadgetry and computer peripherals over the weekend? the answer: throngs of geeky crowds that finally surface the earth's epidermal layer, in a bid to lay their grabby hands on the most advanced technology to outwit, outplay and outlast fellow geekaways.

unfettered by the hordes which could only be classified under nerd-dom, i went against my better instincts and trudged my way to comex, singapore's greatest computer fair. though, i am not sure if it's the largest computer showing around anymore, because every other month, there's some other computer exhibition boasting itself to be the incumbent in town. there's the pc show, then sitex and now comex. perhaps dumex might come around soon too? i'm just confused with the differences between these trade fairs. but then again, it's not my biggest concern.

anyways, arriving at the doors was a huge, glitzy affair. greeted by many vendor reps that lined the aisles as i walked past, it was almost a red-carpet affair. except, instead of flashy light bulbs, i was overwhelmed by flyers shoved into my hands; whereupon it was supposedly a red-carpet, it's now just a passage littered with unwanted paper paraphernalia. so much for daydreaming.

pictures! got myelf a nifty sound system from harmon/kardon and bought an hewlett-packard tablet for my dad. so, another computer victim bites the dust. any other victims out there?

p.s. just a shout out to auggie. thanks for being porter of the day. and theresa too. for just being there.

the non-compromising sleek, black tablet looks better than my macbook air already.

not the latest offering, but this set of speaks were at a grabby discount. how could i resist?

my two purchases of the day. chummy pair, aren't they?
