Bukit Batok Ghosts with Panji (Haunted Hour S2E7) Formerly a rubber and pineapple plantation, Bukit Batok played a prominent role in the fall of Singapore when the British failed to defend the vicinity during the Battle of Bukit Timah and their subsequent surrender on 15 February 1942 to the Japanese at the Ford Motor Factory in present-day Hillview. At the top of Bukit Batok Nature Reserve, General Yamashita ordered 500 Australian Prisoners to construct the Japanese war memorial, Syonan Chureito shrine. Could Bukit Batok's dark past be the reason why it's haunted? Our guest Rahman has been staying in the area since 1980 and he'll share his scary encounters. Tune in this Friday to find out what he's seen!

This week’s episode introduces our February theme, Focus. You’ll learn how Sharon chose this theme despite some initial resistance as well as tools and frameworks for sharpening your own focus. You will hear how to bucket out your own areas of focus, practical tools for rethinking your schedule, how to shape your own goal setting retreat and more. This week’s episode is great for anyone who is feeling lost for where to put down roots or who is overwhelmed from trying to do many things at once.  “Focus is what we pay attention to. A small act with the most consequential of results. Where we choose to focus drives not just the outcomes we achieve but the process for how we get there and how we – and those around us – feel along the way.”   Ideas Shared Areas of Focus Consider what 1-3 buckets of focus are critical for the results and impact you want to drive in your life. Here are the 3 areas that Sharon is focused on this month. Goals Setting Quality of focus Support “Like so many things in life, it wasn’t so much about finding the perfect new thing so much as peeling back the layers – of clutter and expectation – to get to the core of what really matters.”  Exercises for Sharpening Your Focus SET ASIDE A 1/2 DAY GOAL SETTING EXPLORATION Consider: What do you want to achieve? How will you get there? What support do you need? Create: A list that lays out what you will “Pick Up” and what you will “Put Down.” You may add, like Sharon did this month, what you will “Delegate” and what you will consider for “Later.” PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR SCHEDULE Past: Look at schedule what notice what you see. What does it suggest about your priorities? What are jazzed to see there? What’s missing? What on this snapshot brings you energy? Consistency? Do you follow this plan? Present: For one week, create a daily log each day that lays out what you focused on that day. Write is down at the same time each day and use 15 minute increments to block out your activities. At the end of the week ask yourself what you’ve learned through both the daily of experience of paying attention to how you are using your time and by reviewing you data that you gathered at the end of the week. Future: Draft your ideal week. Lay out what are you doing each day. Do you follow the same routine 7 days a week. How much space do you like to leave open? When you put everything down how does the whole week feel? Edit and adapt until you come up with a week that knocks your socks off to imagine. FOLLOW YOUR THOUGHTS Sit down in a chair. Both feet firmly on the ground. Allow your mind to drift in and out of focus. Choose a path: Either focus on emptying your mind of the thoughts as they arise. (e.g. Put those thoughts on a cloud and let them float away. Or on a log on a river and let them float downstream.) Or choose to follow your thoughts from one to the next, allowing them to interact and spark other thoughts as they emerge. Set a timer and stick to your allotted time. (1 minute is great for beginners. You may enjoy working up to 10 minutes, 30 minutes or longer.) GET INTO YOUR BODY Being in our bodies is a gift. Whether you choose meditation, running, yoga, throwing paint at the wall or getting out into nature – focus on moving and appreciating your body.  Resources Shared In episode 76 of Design Yourself, Sharon introduces the Design Myself challenge and January’s theme of Rituals Rocket Fuel: The One Essential Combination That Will Get You More of What You Want from Your Business The Coffee Bar (Washington, DC) Here is the free guided meditation that I mentioned Design Yourself guest Joanna Andreae created.

Today's EpisodeBF1 DLC is finally here for premium members and it is interesting. I am not sure about the new mode, but, the maps are pretty good. They have a good mix of open tank battles and confined spaces for infantry. I still have to play more of it to get a feel if this is a good DLC. I am not a fan of the unlock system and I wish DICE would just leave it as a different unlock system. Oh well, there's are pros and cons to everything.

Today's EpisodeRussian hacking. It's always big news! The media has a fascination with the Russia. I do think it's time for them to break-up. However, the Department of Justice released a statement claiming Russian involvement with the Yahoo incident. It did hurt Yahoo a lot. They had one of the worst hacks in recent memory and it damaged their brand quite a bit.

Today's EpisodeVault 7, it sounds like a new vault from Fallout, but, it's not. The bombshell dropped on Tuesday about what the government is up to. It's usually no good. It was discovered that the CIA is spying on everyone. They can do some terrible acts too. Time to talk about this and understand that tech has vulnerabilities. All new tech has mistakes.

Today's EpisodeThe AMD Ryzen chips launched this week to some interesting benchmarks. The funny thing is the benchmarks are not bad for gaming, they are not better than Intel. Every benchmark I have read has the frame rates above 60 frames per second. It's weird seeing people flip out over nothing. They are not the best benchmarks, but, they are better than the previous CPUs. The most exciting thing is Middle Earth is getting a sequel. Yes, more information was released on the sequel.

Today's EpisodeHootsuite is a popular social media scheduling tool. It recently got into ads with its purchase of AdEspresso recently and now its buying another company. It's an interesting time for the company. It also looks like Hootsuite and Buffer are going in different direction. Buffer is shaping to be more of a content management tool and Hootsuite is more about the ads and analytics side of the business.

Today's EpisodeBF1 or Battlefield 1 got its winter update. It was a great update. I personally do not care about ribbons. I think they are useless and people will get plenty of these ribbons. I never cared for them in BF3 and BF4. It's a personal opinion. I do think DICE needs to look at some other things they missed, but, they are doing a good job balancing for the most part. We will see what happens when the new DLC comes out.Twitch released some stats about their site and streamers. Unsurprising, Finland is the friendliest place to game.

Today's EpisodeLike him or hate him, PewDiePie is a huge influence on YouTube. It's funny how the media loves to hate him. They do not understand that he is trolling them and does not care.

Today's EpisodeGoogle ads, they are effective. Even Google has figured out the right formula for their own products. However, Google ads to affect ads. This is going to be an increasing problem the more Google pushes into products. Companies should try to beat their ads. It's not right given that Google knows their system very well, but, that is the world we live in.The funny part is seeing Facebook activity going down. This may be what most people were feeling. It has been felt for a while that people do not use Facebook as much as they use to. This is why Facebook has moved into developing countries.

Today's EpisodeActivision lays off some staff from its developers. This is because of Call of Duty and missing Q4 projections. It's sad and unfortunate to hear people losing their jobs. However, Call of Duty is in a rut. It has had some upgrades to the game, but, releasing games every year makes it boring. We shall see if Call of Duty in 2017 will be different and better. I do hope it does. Even though I do not prefer playing the game, I still like seeing competition from these developers.I've been playing For Honor open beta a little. It's interesting. This could be a surprise hit for Ubisoft if they can keep it competitive and have an equal distribution between the factions. That was the problem with Planetside 2.

Today's EpisodeNetflix blunder is nothing new now. This is the same thing every business is doing. Hate a specific group because it is socially acceptable. The best argument is that if you did this to any other group, that would be horrible. However, why is it acceptable to do it to white people? Netflix should be prepared for some loss in subscribers and a hit in their revenue. People will vote with their wallets. Be prepared.Twitter looks to be marching towards censorship.

Today's EpisodeThe Super Bowl. It's a time for people to get together and enjoy two teams fighting for a title. One of the reasons why the Super Bowl got so popular is because of the commercials. Businesses decided to make their commercials spectacles that were funny. Football brought people together. It did not matter what political affiliation you were, it was time to watch a great game… hopefully. Now, that seems like an impossible task. This year some businesses decided to go political.However, it was not all of them. Some still showed their funny side, but, others missed the ball. In this tense time in America, businesses need to understand that it is getting worse. You can stand for something, but, be prepared to suffer some consequences for that. Audi is the best example. They decided to make a commercial about gender issues and forget they were selling cars.This episode is all about the commercials and other things that happened at the Super Bowl. Mostly, it has to with the messaging and making sure you do not do something that will set a group off or a smaller group.

Today's EpisodeOh, tech media, what the hell is your problem. Yes, you should not bow to all of your reader's whims, but, berating them is not good for your business. If your readers are telling you to report on tech more than politics, that may be something to look at. If this same group grows larger and larger, then, it's time to listen. Writing an article about how they should shut up, means you should be doing the same thing. It's time to stop pretending you have the moral authority to tell your readers they are wrong. Stop.This leads me to the tech companies. Stop. Your arguments are terrible about the executive order on immigration. First, it's not a ban. Stop calling it that. Second, no, your business was started by a White American. Last, we are not a nation of immigrants and stop using that argument.

Today's EpisodeStarbucks virtue marketing. It's similar to virtue signaling. Too close from what I've seen. This is a way for a company to capitalize on a political controversy for monetary gain. They have done it before and will do it again. The problem with this is the company equates that every customer is a monolith. That is not true. No one agrees with you 100 percent. I do not care how close you are with your friend, there will be disagreements. Starbucks is painting itself into a corner, if they are not careful, their sales could drop.The reason is my generation. My generation is the best virtue signaling group I have ever seen. It needs to stop. You are not making a change and you are forcing businesses into stupid decisions. Culture is a pendulum. One moment, one idea is popular, then years later, it switches. This is usually because of the next generation coming of age. I hope Starbucks weighs its risks, because this is a bitter fight in American culture, be sure you know what this means.Show Timeline:Study finds Amazon is the most trusted SMBTwitter NFL stream is hugeBranch unveils AMP DeepviewUber gets backlash because of doing businessFacebook now ranks video by completionTry content repurposingNew Messenger ads make them unavoidable.

Today's EpisodeResident Evil 7, what can you say about it? It was very different from Resident Evil 6. I played and finished the game this week. It scared the hell out of me. I was very gruesome too.

Today's EpisodeFacebook is doing it again! They are copying Snapchat, but, really, just taking Instagram stories and putting it on Facebook. So, they are copying, the copy. They are putting new ads in Messenger and doing away with a personalized trending topic. It's an interesting move for Facebook. I really do not know what to think about this. Then we have Ellen K. Pao. If you do not know her, she is the former CEO of Reddit. She's back on the censorship train. She is calling on Jack to ban the President from Twitter.

Today's EpisodeIt happened, LinkedIn update is a great step forward in 2017. They unveiled their new web design and it looks great. They were talking about it for months and now they are rolling it out. I will add that I do not have it yet. It's a really slow rollout. If you have not gotten it yet, just sit tight. The update emphasizes content. This is just the push to be more modern on their website. It needed to happen. It's the best gift for social media in 2017!I also talk about the need for businesses to stay neutral. It is the best policy. Unless you can guarantee there is no backlash and you are on the side that wins, it's a bad idea. If you want to know, Target paid the price for this.

Today's EpisodeDICE had some teases for gamers with the BF1 DLC. It was a quick preview of a new tank and maybe a new elite class. I have and I am still enjoying BF1, I wondering what new items this DLC brings. What is known about the DLC is the French are coming. Probably weapons based on the French army and that's all everyone knows outside of EA and DICE. Halo Wars 2 beta finally reached the PC today. There is only one mode and it's interesting.

Today's EpisodeThis week we say goodbye to Vine as a social network. It will only live as a camera app now. It's not surprising given that Twitter did not put enough resources into it after the initial buy. The main culprit was live video. Live video eclipsed Vine as the preferred media for social media companies to invest in. This is Twitter's way of finding a path to profitability. It has not done that yet.

Today's EpisodeFacebook announced new live features for brands. Now you can live stream through your brand page on the web. This means brands can do better live video with better equipment. My brand page does not have it yet, but, social media companies do slow rollouts. The good thing for users is there is a potential for better content. That's what digital marketers are all about! Also, be aware that more live streaming is going to happen. This could make it oversaturated in a matter of years. That means making a plan and calculating what is going to be the best content for your fans.We now turn to the demise of App.net. I know many of you may not have heard about this, but, it was supposed to be the alternative to Twitter. It was an interesting platform, but, it was too similar. The problem now is new companies copying another platform. Never do that. Be your own platform.

Today's EpisodeNintendo Switch, am I the only one that things it's Wii U 2.0? or maybe, maybe this is what the Wii U should have been. I talk about PC gaming but this is important to discuss. The relaunch of the Nintendo console is interesting. The Wii U is already out the door. I hope this is a success. Nintendo needs a success in this sector. If not, they will go the way of Sega.

Today's EpisodeTwitter is on a roll. Not a good one, though. They announced Twitter dashboard will shut down. Yes, the dashboard app seemed interesting. Allowing brands and businesses to monitor, tweet and schedule all in one app. 2017 is not starting off on the right foot for Twitter. It was a business decision, but, maybe Twitter should focus on Twitter. No more other apps, just Twitter. Let's hope Twitter finds its way.However, Facebook is finding a way to repair its relationship with publishers and reports. They have launched a new project dedicated to journalism. This gives them tools and a better way to live stream. It should be interesting to see if this pays off.Show Timeline:Windows 10 testing out a new security featureMicrosoft is letting customers lock down their dataTrello was acquiredSearch and sends GIFs in WhatsAppInstagram now shows ads in storiesNokia teases another new Android phoneFacebook Live updatesFacebook introduces a “Journalism Project”FCC has concerns over zero-ratingAndroid Wear 2.0 is coming… finallyVSCO NY office closesAdobe and the AI helperTwitter dashboard is shutting downYahoo is no more and Marissa Mayer is outAmazon gets hit with a fineSilicon Valley is clueless againAMD RyZen to ship on March 3rdIntel gives hyperthreading to its low-end chipsHackers can steal your fingerprints in photosVerizon hates unlimited usersApps/Programs to try:botpressTodobookChummyKenbyHighriseCurrentlyShow Highlights:I'm so sick of Silicon Valley and not understanding realityTwitter needs to focus on Twitter.If you like flashing peace signs, waving or thumbs up in pictures, don't do it.Verizon, this is sending the wrong message.Support:Like these podcasts?

Today's EpisodeVine is shutting down soon. This is not a surprise to anyone. The social platform was not supported by Twitter and it focused on live streaming. The audience dwindled and it is shutting down. It will live on as a camera, but, take a backseat to Periscope. It's a shame to how this all went down, but, six-second videos did not need a standalone platform. This is the best alternative. It is a reminder that everything can die and build your audience on different platforms is a wise decision. There are other platforms to do short video. There is no shortage of that. Facebook did a short update to brand pages. It's an interesting way to get business to post different content. I wonder if it will be any good.

Today's EpisodeIt's January and that means CES is back! CES 2017 seems to be about the smart fridges and convincing people about making their homes smart. It's bigger this year. LG and Samsung are trying to persuade people into an always-connected life. Will people buy into it, is the question. There are some grave security questions about always connected devices. None of the companies seem too concerned about it either. This security concern does warrant me to hold off until they address this issue. No one should have their TV or fridge hijacked and told to pay money for it. However, I am hopefully these companies will wise up and invest time and money into it. This is the best way to get more customers and ensure they stay loyal.Show Timeline:Zuckerberg wants to meet youHappy New Year?

Today's EpisodeOh, 2016. You had some memorable games this year. This episode I talk about my best of 2016 gaming list. I have my list and I did check it twice. This was the best game to come out of 2016. It was a good year for strategy and first-person shooters. I will miss 2016 because we got some great titles and the rise of VR. 2017 should tell us if VR is here to stay or a bust. Here's to more exciting games in 2017.

Today's EpisodeWell, look at that, 2016 is almost done. Isn't it glorious? Yes! This episode is going to be looking ahead to the tech future! Plus, some tech news. I will look back at what happened in 2016 and what I want to see in 2017. There are just some things that need to die… Flash! Please finally go away! Plus, these dubious bullying rules and “fake news.” I'm looking at you Facebook and Twitter. I want these social networks to stop policing and get rid of tailoring feeds. Tailored feeds are what got us into this hyper drama culture we face. I always think fake news is subjective to the person. We want to believe in what most people deem true. Now, that doesn't mean I don't think there aren't some universal truths. I'm tired of one side calling the other side's reporting fake. That's not a debate and we need to be open to the opposing opinion. However, I do concede there are some sites that do misleading headlines and poor research skills, but, that is a minority.

Today's EpisodeThis is getting tiring. Reddit is becoming the place to never have a thought or a wrong thought. The CEO of Reddit did something wrong. He should be punished for his dubious actions. If he really wants to heal Reddit and the country; maybe you should not silence a group. The problem with these people is they do not understand hate speech. They do not understand free speech and they were riding on the goodwill of their users for so long, they forgot about the trust that was built for the past decade.

Today's EpisodeBusinesses care about their brand voice. It is the only thing customers know about the brand… usually. This is the way the company conveys its message to the world. Businesses spend hours on getting it right. However, have we gotten it all wrong? This election shows always being sorry for any perceived outrage may not be the best strategy. Maybe, just maybe, we marketers need to branch out and have a slight offending voice. We all know we cannot please everyone. Businesses do try, but, fail at it all the time. Pleasing everyone is never a great strategy. Losing customers is not either, but, you will lose some customers. I have never seen any business keep all their customers. The reason is, not all of their followers are loyal customers. They may be a one time purchase. It's important to know that and work to make a brand voice that speaks to your loyal customers.Find out more down below.Marketing News Analyzed:More than one way to promote your app on Google!Mobile targeting slowly getting betterFacebook is done with Marketing PartnersInstagram adds live video and disappearing messagesTwitter is the most used social sharing buttonFacebook and searchFacebook has some explaining to doQuestioning Facebook MetricsShould we rethink Brand VoiceApps/Programs To Try:InversoftGoSquaredGoogle SitesFontselfTweetable Quotes:I am starting to question how good Facebook's algorithms are.Have we been doing brand voice all wrong?Search is going to be big for Facebook in 2017.Support:Like these podcasts?

Today's EpisodeOh, the Twitter bans strike again! This time they ban their own CEO. I find this poetic justice for all the random bans they've been throwing out lately. People with the wrong idea get banned. Twitter, remember you became popular because of the idea of free speech. People flocked to these sites to share their ideas. Now, not all ideas are good, but, that's not the point. Twitter, it's fine if you ban people for acts of violence of the threat of violence. However, banning people because they are not part of the left is ridiculous. It's time to stop the madness and let people think for themselves. I do not care if you are right or left, I want the ability to share without worrying about being banned. That's ridiculous.Anyways, scroll down to find out more!Tech News Decoded:Trump wants Apple to build a better iPhone… in AmericaSnapchat Spectacles have an interesting AR filterMicrosoft hasn't done with mobile phones?A new “study” claiming iPhone users are terribleGoogle Pixel Phone gets new featuresGoogle updates SitesTelegram has an answer to Medium with TelegraphA study suggests young people cannot tell the difference between ads and articlesInstagram is going live!Amazon is banning incentivized reviewsOops!

Today's EpisodeUbisoft can we talk? Ubisoft hates stories? Apparently, they do not want to write narratives anymore. I cannot remember the last game I played where the story was good. Ubisoft hates stories. They do not want to create interesting characters. The problem with gaming stories is they all seem to follow a pattern. Yes, I know there are only some many ways to write a story. However, the gaming industry is not willing to risk that much. The problem is the best stories can come from those risks. I hope they find a way to do both.I talk about more in the podcast, find out what?Gaming News Pwned:Titanfall 2 is on sale.

Today's EpisodeCoffee For Two is here! It's going to be a once a month interview show. Yes, this is a new section of the podcast where I interview Julie LaCroix. She is a great person that helps anyone out with figuring out your career path. It's a great time of learning and fun. If you have listened to me for a while, I always got between sarcasm, witty, and let you learn something. Hint: You should always learn a new skill. Life is hard, it can be rewarding too. I hope this helps and if you have anyone knows someone I should interview, let me now in the comments below.

Today's EpisodeTwitter hates ideas. This is a problem to me. I think the best of Twitter was they allowed people to express their ideas. It didn't matter if you were right, left, center, or didn't care. The problem is Twitter wants groupthink. It thinks that one political ideology is right. I think that if a business uses a free speech in their policies, they do thrive. However, private businesses do not have to follow a free speech model. Twitter needs to follow its own policy and only ban those that do terrible things. Disagreeing is not one.Tech News Decoded:Twitter is adding QR codes because reasonsAndriod TV finally gets Twitter Live TV appTwitter is banning alit-right people and it’s stupidMicrosoft is all in with the Linux FoundationGoogle Earth VR looks coolThere’s a $5 device that can crack your passwordWhatsApp is getting video callingBlu phones are spying on you for China.Snapchat is going public… soonBroadsoft’s Team-One is a Slack CompetitorKaspersky is making a program to leave social mediaGoogle Docs, Sheets, and Spreadsheets let users make their own templatesFCC cancels any of their new policiesGoogle Translate is getting smarterSeagate has a 5TB portable hard driveOnePlus says goodbye to 3 and hello to 3TMy first impressions of the Pixel Phone.Apps/Programs To Try:Otto RadioA.I.

Today's EpisodeOh, GrubHub. This is not your week. The CEO needs better training from his PR team. This will be one of the worst blunders the company has done. I know you may not like political ideologies, but, having people not agree with you is a good thing. He should have seen this as a strength and not made it look like his employees that voted for Trump should quit. This should be a lesson for everyone. There is some backlash from his email. No one is immune to this. Anyways, Periscope is making some interesting moves. I like where they are going. They are not competing well against Facebook Live. I hope Twitter is getting focused on what it does best.

Today's EpisodeThe review happened. I finally played enough of Titanfall 2 to give my review. It was an interesting game. I liked it, but, you have to listen to the show to find out the rest. The interesting part I found this week was Pharah being able to fly throughout the match. They are testing it out on the PTR. That could impact the game in good and bad ways. Luckily, there are other heroes that could handle this. I’m fine with Blizzard testing things out on the PTR.

Today's EpisodeSocial media and ads are part of the game. Facebook and LinkedIn are open the floodgates on their messaging services. If you are tired of ads, well, you have to accept them more. Good or bad this is the new normal. We at the point of social media where they are established and looking for more revenue. It part of the business and we are just along for the ride. Plus, the election happened. People are leaving for one person. The past 8 years people were fine and now, they freaking out.

Today's EpisodeYes, I finally played enough of Battlefield 1. In this episode, I give my Battlefield 1 review. If you want a first-person shooter that is not set in the modern or future setting this could be a game for you. Yes, I’m still playing this and Titanfall 2 and Civilization 6. I will have those reviews later. Also, BlizzCon has begun. Yes, this year we have a new character for Overwatch. This could be a great addition or break the game. I know Blizzard does a pretty good job of balance, but, I know infiltrator classes can break games. I’ve seen it happen. We will see if this is a good addition or a game breaking addiction. Either way, it’s going to be interesting.Plus, Polygon is crap. I really want to put that on.

Today's EpisodeAdobe announced the new update for their Creative Cloud. Some of it was cool, but the best updates, Project Felix. This new program will help us 2D/3D pictures to create something photo realistic. This is great news for graphic designers. Yes, fewer hours of making it perfect. Three more updates that I discuss in the episode. Microsoft is taking on Slack. Their new program Microsoft Teams are all about teams. Everyone in the business world does have to work for a team(s). Unless, you host your own podcast. Microsoft saw Slack taking people away from Skype. It was the go-to business communication tool. It’s great that there is more competition.I do not see people using this unless they are team Microsoft. If you are not using Office, it is not the program for you. If this is a great product, Microsoft will have people not hating them too much.
