Twilight and on to nothingness
At the risk of offending fans of the movie Twilight, I’m afraid I must give it two thumbs down. I went in with no expectations (I haven’t read the book), and with no intention at all of comparing it with Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles, but I was still sorely disappointed.
Acting-wise, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart [...]
WordCamp Phils. T-shirt: it’s officially famous
Ever since Matt started talking about the WordCamp Philippines 2008 T-shirt design, the buzz hasn’t quite died down yet, even months after the event. Today I got a trackback to the WCP site from WordCamp Ed D.C. (WordCamp Ed is an initiative that’s focused on promoting the educational uses of WordPress.)
The post is about their [...]
.ME domain now open to the public
Got me another domain to satisfy my vanity — and to protect my online identity somehow. See, someone beat me to blogie.com, and that was really frustrating for me. Yeah, it’s all about ME!
The new top-level domain, that is: .ME, which is now open for registration to the whole world. GoDaddy sells [...]

Got my WordPress hoodie from Automattic.com today. Check it out!
Domain buying spree
My techie and blogger friends know this about me: sometimes I go on domain-buying sprees when I’m inebriated. Once, when I checked my GoDaddy account, I saw a domain name I didn’t remember I’d bought! Seriously.
Today I acquired blog1e.com, which I thought I’d use to point to this blog. No, I wasn’t drunk this time [...]

Happy Birthday, WordPress! [...]
Bloggers’ ad practices
No, I’m not going to do a fiery treatise on how some bloggers make their blogs look like online billboards. I just thought I’d display this thought-provoking sketch from BlogComics.net.
The verve of the metro
I’ve been here less than 24 hours since arriving this morning and I can already feel the reverberating centeredness of Metro Manila. This is where important things are happening, and this is the place from where many, many things emanate.
Like blogging, for instance. Although we do have a good number of bloggers in Davao and [...]
I’m a gadgethead!
A couple of days ago, my friend Migs (who recently and finally launched his own domained blog on mobile technologies) introduced the idea of becoming a gadget reviewer for WOM World / Nokia. Since I was starting preparations for a tech vlog already, I thought I’d send in an application. And yesterday, I got approved!
Bizarre video by Microsoft
Is this true? I mean, it’s so painfully clichéd and downright hard-sell — I was cringing most of the time, watching this "promotional" video — I couldn’t believe my eyes and ears. If indeed the YouTube flick below is a promotional video produced by Microsoft Corp. to sell more copies of Vista, I doubt very [...]
