Dear Wikusama-ers

*i dont know what to call, so let use that name for now*

Wikufest2014 is just 3 days away. We hope you can have fun and get something to help you move forward.

Well, I can assure you can got something. For you who like shooting picture with your mobile phone, i have 2 kind of lenses to giveaway. First one is wide/macro lens the other one is fish eye. They’re not fancy things but i think they can help you to be more creative with your shoot.

Wall-E and Wide/Macro Lens

One of my minions with the Fish Eye Lens

So, if you want it all you need to do are:

Choose which lens you want. Macro/Wide or Fish eye?
Make a blog post, in English, why you deserve that lens. Put some photos taken with your phone. I’m not and English teacher so don’t be afraid about writing in English. You should do it more often anyway 🙂
DM me your data (name, class, birth date and your blog post URL). If you have problem with twitter DM (mostly because we’re not following each other) and you’re ok publishing your data in timeline, you can do it and dont forget to mention @nurikidy 🙂
Post photos taken with your phone, use mention/tag me and use hashtag #Wikufest2014 or #Wikufest3 in Instagram, Facebook, Twitter.

I will mostly monitor my Twitter DM/mention and Instagram account. FB is mostly for your friends to give comments/likes of your photos.
The Winner for each lens will be announced at Friday afternoon.

So, the game is starting….

I can’t stand to fly

I’m not that naïve
I’m just out to find
The better part of me

I’m more than a bird,
I’m more than a plane
I’m more than some pretty face beside a train
It’s not easy to be me

I wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
‘Bout a home I’ll never see

It may sound absurd but don’t be naïve
Even heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed but won’t you concede
Even Heroes have the right to dream
And it’s not easy to be me

Up, up and away, away from me
Well, it’s alright
You can all sleep sound tonight
I’m not crazy or anything

I can’t stand to fly
I’m not that naïve
Men weren’t meant to ride
With clouds between their knees

I’m only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet

Looking for special things inside of me
Inside of me, inside of me [2x]

I’m only a man in a funny red sheet
I’m only a man looking for her dream
I’m only a man in a funny red sheet
It’s not easy.
It’s not easy to be me…..

ok, why Superman?

Well it’s because i just watched Superman: Man of Steel at IMAX Gandaria City 😛
Sorry Ip for using your picture profile, what can be better than that? 😛 hehehehehe

Posted on 2013-12-12 by nuri

There are things around us that we can learn from.
The life lesson that could make us better person and hopefully can bring better life to other person

This guy is crazy for some people, do you think so?
What lesson you can learn from him?

I hope i can be like him,
not wishing people i love diagnosed having cancer and then I’ll be wearing pink tutu
But be the spirit, be a little light, bring happiness for them. A little is enough

Furthermore, is always being there whenever they need it, even if they think they don’t.

You can red the story of Bob and his pink tutu here

Happy Sweet 17, Tamagotchi

Posted on 2013-11-25 by nuri

Once upon a time in the 90s, there was Tamagotchi and it was a big hit.
Many of my friends (specially girls) were crazy about it.

And couple days ago, this egg-shaped virtual pet key chain celebrating its 17th birthday.

Yea 17 years old game device and I still don’t know what make this key chain so exciting. Same as when people playing the similar thing in Facebook (Pet Society?)

Oh, it even has an app…

Bandai said to be releasing new Tamagotchi line to celebrate its 17years birthday called Tamagotchi Friends. You will still take care your pet in the same way with additional new chars. And when 2 Tamagotchi bumped each other there will be some interaction game between pets.

I don’t have a clue because when talking about Bandai, first things in my mind is Gundam 😛

Anyway, happy sweet 17 Tamagotchi 🙂

Membuat iPhone dan iPod Touch kamu jadi Motion-Based Music Instrument

Posted on 2013-11-25 by nuri

The Motion Synth: Turn Movement into Music
-auug.com-

Awal 2012 lalu saya berkesempatan sharing di acara bertajuk Wikufest.
Saat itu saya coba highlight apa yang bisa kita gunakan dari ponsel, barang yang saat ini bisa dibilang selalu ada di jangkauan kita.

Kunci-nya sih app.
Contoh yang saya berikan waktu itu di antaranya pemanfaatan ponsel untuk bisnis VAS, monitoring status mobil, main musik juga buat militer 🙂

Nah sekarang ini ga cuman app ajah yang memaksimalkan potensi sebuah smartphone. Tapi ada hardware-hardware pendukung yang jadi komplementasinya. Pernah dengar atau tahu aksesoris fitnes bernama Nike FuelBand atau Jawbone app? Rekan kerja di kantor sih keranjingan hacking bikin drone, trus kontrol via android device.

Nah berikut ini berkaitan dengan musik. iOS device + musik sebetulnya kombinasi yang sudah umum, namun perangkat satu ini sangat unik (saat ini).

Namanya AUUG Motion Synth.
Ini adalah sebuah project di kickstarter yang cita-citanya mengubah iPhone/iPod Touch kamu jadi sebuah instrumen musik yang baru dan cukup unik. Kamu bisa memainkan nada maupun menggubah suara cukup dengan gerakan tangan saja (motion).

Selain itu AUUG juga bisa mengontrol software di komputer kamu secara wireless. Di juha bisa mengontrol perangkat-perangkat musik non-wireless lewat kabel MIDI. Kompatibel dengan iPhone 4s++ dan iPod Touch generasi 5 dan setelahnya.

Penasaran?

Yang baru dari Instagram

Posted on 2013-11-25 by nuri

Minggu kemarin (2013-11-20) dilansir dari blog Instagram, akhirnya aplikasi berbagi foto populer ini tersedia juga untuk para pengguna Windows Phone. Hal ini tentu akan meningkatkan user base Instagram dengan cukup signifikan. Perlu dicatat bahwa per 9 September 2013, total active user Instagram sudah mencapai 150 juta.

Tapi…
Instagram app di Windows Phone Marketplace ini masih versi beta. Jadi siap-siap ajah bakal ada banyak update setelahnya. Kalo ga salah saat ini fitur video di Instagram Windows app ini belum tersedia. Walau begitu, dengan diluncurkannya Nokia Lumia 1020, Instagram kayanya emang dioptimalkan untuk ponsel-ponsel dengan kamera kualitas tinggi seperti ini.

Nah selanjutnya apa?
Instagram for Blackberry? yea rite in your dream…

Rumor yang lagi santer sih kalo Instagram akan mempunyai fitur private instant messaging (bisa untuk grup juga katanya). Fitur ini dikabarkan akan siap di bulan Desember nanti. Wah, pas ulang tahun saya nih 🙂

Nah we’ll see…
Bisa saingan dengan Snapchat nih (dalam kapasitas keunikannya masing-masing)

If You Could Only See

Posted on 2013-11-22 by nuri

just a little flashback from karaoke night at #mozsummit 2013 #santaclara

If you could only see the way she loves me 
Then maybe you would understand 
Why I feel this way about our love 
And what I must do
If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says ...
When she says she loves me

 Well you got your reasons 
 And you got your lies 
 And you got your manipulations 
 They cut me down to size 
 Sayin' you love but you don't 
 You give your love but you won't

 **back to reff**

 Seems the road less traveled 
 Show's happiness unraveled 
 And you got to take a little dirt 
 To keep what you love 
 That's what you gotta do 
 Sayin' you love but you don't 
 You give your love but you won't 
 You're stretching out your arms to something that's just not there 
 Sayin' you love where you stand 
 Give your heart when you can

 **back to reff**

 Sayin' you love but you don't 
 You give your love but you won't 
 Sayin' you love where you stand 
 Give your heart when you can

 **back to reff**
