Phone Unlocked!
Thanks to a new tutorial, I was finally able to unlock and use my brother’s old iPhone 3GS! Spent the whole afternoon troubleshooting and migrating everything from my old iPhone 3G. The faster hardware and the newer iOS makes everything feel so much snappier! And the better camera will also allow me to take greater […]

Website Redesign (maybe)
Thinking about giving my website a complete makeover, so I spent some time today surfing the web looking for inspirations. Over the years I’ve bookmarked tens of artists’ portfolio websites, but I didn’t quite have the chance to see them in details until today.

An Artist’s Lifestyle
Read an article on newspaper today about a renowned Chinese artist. Being merely an amateur “artist”, I don’t know who he is and I’ve never even seen his work, but I admire his lifestyle – “…一直不講究吃穿，不過奢華揮霍的生活，一生精力都在繪畫創作上…” That’s inline with how I want my home studio to be – no luxurious furnishings, just a little place […]
