What this is all about
Let's face it. Geeks aren't the most popular people on earth. You don't see them prancing on the red carpet at the Oscars or getting invited to exclusive parties. And no, LAN parties don't count.
WebSG attempts to cover the geek stuff that happens in Singapore. Blogging in the nude probably will not get you featured Websg, unless it involves hooking up your homemade GPRS-enabled film SLR, which you converted to take digital photos by plugging in live feeds of decaying silver bromide crystals into the Flickr API.
Apart from being on the lookout for local technology news, WebSG also serves as home for the Web Standards Group, Singapore. While the endeavour isn't particularly exciting on the surface, we work tirelessly to create an inclusive web accessible by all, by encouranging web developers and designers to do things the right way (use web standards).
