Hi Softies,
Thank you for allowing me to grace the occasion of the SOFT 2nd Monthly Meeting on 13 Aug 05. It was a great experience for me. I am grateful to the organisers, sponsors, presenters and participants, and EarShot for a truly enjoyable and successful event.
My special tribute goes to Arun, Randolf and James. They are truly innovators. We have a resourceful Arun producing quality music with minimal, but effective, cost to accommodate aspiring bands and artistes. Randolf, also a music producer, and his amazing string of effects and gadgets – with a lot of ‘overdrive’ passion – surely coloured the evening. Thanks Randolf, for helping out with the Awe-In-One demo, I couldn’t have done it better. And James… having seen those days when the Quests and other local bands were performing in Gay World, the Singapore music scene had never been so well connected. Incidentally, in those days, gay means gay.
Innovation can oftentimes be a lonely journey, and cheering innovators on is important. So I am happy to see Softies doubling up as cameramen, reception, movers and pick distributors. That’s the spirit, well done!
Owing to some time constraints on Saturday, I could only skim through certain parts. So if you need me to elaborate on any particular parts below, do let me know:
1) My first 2 unsuccessful attempts at invention – the multi-directional wheel and plastic bag holder
2) How to cope with failure
3) My current attempt with Awe-In-One beyond the yoghurt box.
4) What to do if you have a good idea and want to patent it.
5) Entrepreneur – what it involves, from a small business perspective.
If you wish to know more about the various types of picks, its history, features and key elements, I can easily direct you to the respective websites for detail information.
As promised that Sat evening, I intend to ‘break a few branches’ so that you folks can continue to find your way, and I will be happy to resume this on-line. After the gathering, I know that some of you found your way to the pub instead.
