The New I've just realized that we might have the possibility to VR ourselves. The hard part about creating VR content is that we will need to plan the shot so that only those that's related will be in the scene. Another important part is to have tools to make sure that we will be able to shoot the VR correctly and post process it correctly. The Good Father's love. I'm really grateful that my father helped me create the tool that I could really use in my daily life. He actually helped me patiently drill a hole in my  AKA-FGP1 finger grip for my Sony X3000 . Whith this, I'll be able to leave the AKA-FGP1 finger grip and Joby Micro on all the time as show in the pictures below. This will make my life considerably easier. Thanks dad!

The New & The Good 14 June 2017

Hi there. Welcome to another post about the new and good things that I've encountered today. Let's go and see what are the new things and good things that has happened in my life. The New I came across a concept/thing called Baby Box while I was reading Ozy's PDB this morning. Baby Box apparently is a box filled with essential stuffs and a mattress. It is supposed to reduce infant mortality rate by providing essential items for the parents and a safe place where the infant can sleep safely and breath freely. It has been introduce in Finland in the 1930s and it has reduced the baby mortality rate from 1 in 10 children to 2 in 1000 children. Now there's an aspiring startup called Baby Box Co  that aims to bring this Finnish tradition to the US. The Good  All of us sometime needs people to remind us who we us when we are lost.

You've just thought of a great idea and you are very excited about it. You went to the closest person to share it but they gave you a lukewarm response. You went to the next person and the person totally rejects your idea. So what do you do? Listen to everyone and give up? If the Wright Brothers  listened to the naysayers that the machine that they build will not fly, we will not have air travel today. If Henry Ford  listened and agreed that people need faster horses and stopped his development of a mass market car, we might be still going around in horse carriages. I'm going to share with you a thinking framework that I've learnt from my boss. Generally, ideas can be divided into 4 types as shown in the picture below. 1. Good idea that everyone thinks it's a good idea   At the time I'm writing this, everyone is thinking and talking about AI. It is a good idea but unless you have a special lead in this, it is going to be a red sea battle. Is it worth clawing you way

This is a new series of blog posts that I'm going to start to share with you what the new and the good that I've learnt in my day. It is meant for both of us to be able to observe the new and good things in our lives. If you've found anything that's new or good, do feel free to share it with me in the comments section. The New I've just realized that MAS Airline's RM 60 Million net income in Q1 of 2017 is absurdly low compared to airlines like AsiaAsia which is raking in an average of 524 million of net income per quarter in year 2016. That's like almost 10 times the difference. Of course if we were to compare it to the world leader American Airlines Group , these two airlines are just speck of dusts. With that said, the numbers stated here are too big for most people to imagine The Good I've learnt about the decision tree that's being used by my boss which I'll share below. To my boss, when there's a a complain, we realize somet
