To the max

» Apple has a reputation for taking existing products and improving on it, making it their own. Remember all those years ago when the Macbook Air, the iPod and the iPhone were released? They've shown no signs of stopping either. Their latest foray into somewhat uncharted territory for their company is the AirPods Max, their line of headphones set to improve on their earphones, the AirPods and AirPods Pro. The announcement of the AirPods Max last year took customers by surprise. Now that it's been out for nearly a month in Thailand, the question is whether it's worth the B19,900 price tag.
The year ahead
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 01/01/2021
» 2021 is finally here and we can finally put "The Year That Must Not Be Named" behind us! Though we're not entirely out of the woods yet, the fact remains that a new year means we can turn a new leaf and look forward to the things yet to come this year. Here is a list of things that are in store for us, which hopefully -- fingers crossed -- may actually take place this year.
Dreamworld

» If you heard the name "My Life As Ali Thomas", the first thing you'd probably say is "Wait, that's a name?" Yes, it's the name of a Thai indie-folk rock band that writes songs in English, and though the name is odd, the story behind it makes sense.
2020 winners & losers in geek
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 25/12/2020
» The year of 'Rona meant a lot of changes in the way we do things hence the term "new normal", and Geekdom wasn't left unscathed. However, that doesn't necessarily mean it was all bad. There are things we enjoyed watching this year with all the time we had on our hands and fan events that we "attended" right in the comfort of our own home that we wouldn't be able to normally attend. At the same time, there were some things that sadly suffered because of the pandemic and a certain something that fell flat despite all the hype. Here's the winners and losers of 2020 in geek.
Guru awards 2020
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 18/12/2020
» A lot has happened in 2020. From the pandemic to protests, the year has had a flurry of events, good and bad (perhaps mostly bad). Paradoxically, it seems that 2020 lasted longer than it should and we all can't wait for it to be over, but at the same time it also seemed like we just went into quarantine yesterday. We're all looking forward to the year that's ahead and leave 2020 behind, but before we do, let's take a look at the year that's been and determine which blunders, skills and mascots are worthy of recognition.

» Back when tourism was still a thing and people travelled from abroad, the most popular destinations were the many beaches of Thailand.
Watch yourself

» In recent years, the Apple Watch has been touted as a health device that's a must-have, helping you keep track of fitness and activity goals day-to-day while also being utterly fashionable. The latest model is the Series 6, and it comes with a number of improvements that may not be obvious at first. However, are these improvements enough so that you shell out your cash for it?
Winter wonderlands
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 20/11/2020
» If you haven't noticed, there's only a little over a month left for 2020 to end. This also means cooler weather all over the country and along with that comes a slew of festivals making good use of the cool breeze that makes walking outside more delightful and less of a workout. A number of these events take place outside the city, which means even cooler temperatures and breezes accompanied by fantastic views of nature. These events are a great way to enjoy the "winter season" and serve as a reminder that we've made it through 2020 so we've all earned ourselves a bit of time to enjoy what these festivals have to offer.
Classic British
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 13/11/2020
» Though Britain is known for giving us the Spice Girls and 007, it's safe to say that nothing beats what they've given the culinary world: the simple yet delectable fish and chips. They're not necessarily difficult to find here but a few places serve their "version" which is a far cry from traditional fish and chips. Fortunately, I've found two places that won't disappoint.
Stress-busters
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 06/11/2020
» This year has been a total crapfest. We've gone through a soft lockdown and we're past it, but the pandemic continues and things are far from normal. Then there is the current state of affairs, which just piles on to the mounting stress. It's been a rough year and I can't help but remember that we all felt the same optimism when we wanted 2019 to end. Remember when we thought that year was bad? We've got two more months of 2020 and let's be real, we're not really sure what 2021 holds. Fortunately for you, I've done the hard work and listed a few viable options to let off steam. Whether it's by trashing a room or cuddling puppies, here are a few ways you can relieve the stress from the troubling times we're in.
