Hey everyone, guess what? 2014 marks the 50th anniversary of the world’s most popular muscle car, ze Ford Mustang. Yup, that’s right: you’re actually that old. What makes me kind of excited about this is that I get to call my mom and ask about her old Mustang. The first ride she had was a 1978 Ford Mustang Cobra, and she was about as bad-ass as you’d think she was driving...
Mobile wallets. It’s been on the top of my mind for the past year, mainly because I’m one of those guys that has to wear both hats. I tend to look at things from both the end-user perspective first, and from an business integration perspective second. From a customer perspective, it’s a blessing for guys like me who never actually carries cash. As a business, the potential...
A few weeks ago I was invited to catch a preview of the new 2014 Toyota Corolla. Like most people, I had a ton of concern regarding how new, exciting, and sexy this car could be. I mean, it’s a Corolla. We grew up to boring parents driving us to church in it. Those beige colours gleaming proudly as they park in front of our schools among all the other nondescript cars. In case it has never...
You know you’ve reached the pinnacle of technological advances when lasers are involved. Okay okay, so they’re not really laser that will remove the hair off your pretty face – they’re used for guiding you as you trim yourself to visual perfection. First hand proof, coming right up. As for electric toothbrushes, for me they fall into the category of “Things that...
It’s funny how light can affect a person’s day so heavily. You know those people. Those people you do your best to avoid if it’s cold, overcast, crummy outside. You can feel the pain and sorrow around you when you’re in the subway from it. Yeah, light does a lot to you. So lets reverse the logic just a little. Philips introduced me to two neat new Light Therapy products...
There’s something beautiful about customization. Many times we’re given prix fixe, chef-selected, or options based around appetizer-entree-dessert. I’d like to think that after you’ve become a master at dining and having drinks, you can start making selections for yourself. While I’m nowhere near a master at dining and mixology, I sometimes think I’m nearing...
I considered starting this post with my juggernaut-like history with video games, but I feel like that’d force you to read I’ve got a pretty lengthy history with ye ol’ trusty Playstation. Lets take a minute and highlight the crafty beginnings with Sony’s fun box. I pretty much spent my entire 3rd year of Computer Science playing Metal Gear Solid 2 on PS2 in 2001...
New blog post. Woot! I just came to the realization after writing the latest Gotstyle newsletter tonight that my writing inhibitions get enhanced after a few sips of the cold brew. Which is great, because I generally write at work and I find it very hard to make my best creative material without a situational caffeine high. But seeing as I pretty much toss all reasoning and safe-guards while...
It’s been a week since the BlackBerry 10 launch and I’m neck deep into my new Blackberry Z10: learning the in’s and out’s of this fantastic little Canadian device. I think it’s only fair, as a reviewer, that I do three things to simplify the learning process: (1) Post a video of myself and my good friend Sharad from Freshly Educated Men talking about BlackBerry 10...
You know, I haven’t been the nicest to BlackBerry and their dwindling fanbase in recent years. It eventually turned into kicking a dead horse at one point or stealing candy from children, which had been a sad state for Canada’s prized tech company. In all honesty, I’m very far from being a brand whore; whether it be cell phones, clothing, or anything you can associate...
RAMONE is a composition of non-fiction short stories and introspections by Reggie Tan.
Howdy. I first started blogging on RAMONE.ca in 2009, with a dedicated focus on men's lifestyle and stories of inebriation. Shortly after, I was listed as a top Canadian blogger, and over the next decade, I've collaborated with hundreds of notable brands.
Then I grew up. As of late, I've graduated to writing about life experiences, well-researched opinions, and hopefully a few things you might find useful.
This is my memory vault.
About me－Power user of technology. Style guy. Avid gamer. Obsessed with the Cybertruck. Lyrical poet. I like my beats bottom heavy. Madaline is ∞. Only God can judge me. INTP. Birthed in the East Coast of Canada by a pair of cool Filipino parents. Cautiously ADHD. I prefer my whisky neat with a tumbler of room-temp water. Otherwise, a pint of your best draught will do.
I'm a member of the anti-social club. Happily retired from Facebook or Instagram. My verified Twitter account was recently hacked. I do use LinkedIn for business.
