This made me so happy today. I found a digitised copy of the Singapore Chronicle (what later became the Straits Times) from 1831, the year the paper was started.

And this is the in-game newspaper in Red Dead Redemption, set around 1900. A brother from another mother! (Screen grab fromĀ this YouTube video.)

1831

I'm a business tech reporter in the day, but you probably won't be able to tell from this blog.

As of late, I've also been busy making free ringtones over at Tinkle Tones.

Leave a comment, but if you're shy you can write to me.
