Changkhui: Changkhui

This was recorded on December 30, 2008. Chalermporn (Ning) called in from Yala to discuss about the topic with Bay and Nok in Bangkok. However, due to high-noise recording, we had to get some help to, at least, make it less painful to listen to. Thank you khun Wit (http://www.polypink.com) for helping us on this. As mentioned on 112a episode, this episode may tire those who had enough of the topic and it could be too personal to some, so you may want to skip this episode, hence a sub-episode, not a full episode. Still, it's a fun episode to listen to.

Having listened to the audiobook version of "Tuned In" by Craig Stull, Phil Myers and David Meerman Scott, we thought we could make an episode out of one example. Zip Car was mentioned as a Tuned In product. We have never heard of the concept so everyone was given a task to find out more and discussed. In short, this is a community car concept, which is somewhat different from traditional car rental service. For more information, you can visit the http://www.zipcar.com site, and link such as http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uux8uSRDFK0, can provide a visual explanation.

As luck would have it, another listener came to the rescue, so we have another episode even though I planned to forego it for this week. Thank you so much. This time, our listener came from Alaska, he was an exchange student there from the AFS program. For the record, I think he is our youngest listener that I am aware of. Mob just came back from a trip to MacWorld 2009 in San Francisco, so he shared his experience during the trip, obviously really had a great time. And now, he yearned for CES 2010.

I planned to rest for a couple of weeks due to work and the new project. However, Ford was gracious enough to do some research and contribute, as usual, to this episode. We gave some introduction on Creative Common and its practical use. Then Ford talked about all he could gather from CES 2009 in Las Vegas while he was at Nakornsawan. And this was episode 112a, simply, because we had another episode on 5 likes/dislikes but thought it might be too much for a topic so you might want to skip 112b if you have heard enough of 5 likes/dislikes.

We enjoyed 5 likes and 5 dislikes so much that we could not stop it. This time, we got mEnE078 to contribute and, mine oh mine, she did not disappoint us. This 23-year-old lady was mature for her age. Thank god, we had such a listener.

We intended not to have any more episode for 2008, but a phone call changed all that. We would like to pass along what we shared on the phone. Also, since we both finished Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell so we shared what we had read and what we thought about it. In short, we both enjoyed it. At the end, we shared what we personally liked and disliked for 2008.

Prachachart Business was generous enough to invite us to their 3-day annual seminars. Since two of the seminars featured khun Sorakorn Adulyanont as the show host, so we would put those there on our program. We would like to thank Prachachart Business for letting us put this on our podcast, especially khun Sompratana Kraywichian, the editor and khun Cherry Nakjaroen, the reporter.

I especially liked the talk provided by khun Anuphong Assavabhokhin of Asian Property, so we decided to put it here. Also, we were getting lazy. He talked about how he prepared to cope with the looming crisis and how much the property business had changed in the last decade.

The more the merrier, so the saying goes. And so the episode duration. With four on the episode, this was one of the longest, if not the longest, episodes of Changkhui. Ben was curious after listening to episode 103, so he asked for an encore. We managed to pull mEnE to join and get Phz to share his experience. This was more towards home recording, rather than the innovation side. A rather technical for non-music lovers.
