I was chilling out at our new cool Bangkok hotel find, Ten Face, when Press Room Group's marketing director called. They wanted a blurb for their new restaurant... When? Now. Now? Oops, there goes my holiday. Called up our brainiest Shanghai-based writer right away to partner in on the job and we got straight down to business. Luckily Ten Face's woody, communal, retro-school chic interior was highly reminiscent of SML's - PRG's new restaurant - or at least what I imagined it to be.

Straight's been having loads of fun lately creating Hong Kong's first Giganews affiliate site magnetreview.com.hk and now it's finally out! In case you're wondering what it is, Giganews is the top usenet provider on earth, like google is top dog in the search engine world. And what the hack is usenet? Well in short it's a vast network of bulletin boards via which people transfer messages and gigabyte-size files. For those avid downloaders out there, it's far better and far faster than Bit Torrent, Limewire or any other file-sharing systems! Read the site to find out more.
