And the winner for Intel Week is …
Believe me. We had a hard time deciding who would win this one. Yung mga iba, kinarir talaga. As much as I would like to give away 20 computers, this week we can only give away one big prize. FYI I’m also being helped by someone from Intel’s PR because the entries are just SOOO…

Synergy XIII: Club Paradise, Palawan
N.B. There’s still time before we close this week’s contest! Synergy is a yearly event hosted by HP and Intel and 2010 marked year 13. Back then, it was one of the more innovative types of events as it paved the way for more intimate dialogue with the press. 13 years later, Synergy is still…

Did you know that Intel has an App Store optimized for Netbooks?
Applications stores seem to be the fad of the end of the decade. With Apple’s iTunes Store, Steam’s disc-less download app, the Android marketplace and the OVI store, it makes sense for Windows to have its own. Although this isn’t the only way for Windows users to find applications, it does allow developers an additional…

HOLIDAY GADGET SWARM WEEK II: Intel is giving away a touch screen netbook
If I had the option of working full time once more, I’d definitely apply with Intel. There really is no other way of putting it: in the IT industry, Intel is #1. From chip manufacturer to service provider to being “sponsors of tomorrow” they pretty much have their hands in everything to do with information…

And the winner of the SMART Communications Week raffle is…
What a week! With over 700++ comments it was really tough to decide the winner. I wish we could have given about 50 Galaxy Tabs because as I was listing the haikus down, that’s around how many caught my attention. Together with a short deliberation with SMART (with me having the final say) I’d like…

A Thanksgiving Shoutout
As Thanksgiving was yesterday (it’s surprising that a lot of Filipinos I know celebrate it!) it’s apt to give thanks to someone from SMART who has helped me with excellent customer service for the past 8 years. Grace Plata is probably half the reason why I still have a SMART line for my primary number.…

Use Facebook the whole day for PHP 20.00 with SMART
Back in January of 2009 I was involved with a training project with SMART. Together with Adel Gabot and Anton Diaz we were part of a spearhead group to launch the Sandbox portal. It’s been almost two years and a lot has happened. Like how Facebook is just getting bigger and bigger. Since a lot…

HOLIDAY GADGET SWARM WEEK I: SMART Communications wants you to own a Galaxy Tab!
EDIT: Contest closed at 11:59Pm last night. Some comments came in via email because something went wrong with the commenting system. It’s fixed and I got the mails. We’ll announce the winner later! I’m on transit from the Visayas Blogging Summit / Philippine Blog Awards for Visayas so expect an update tonight after I fly…

How do you store your gadgets?
Two things: With the exponential increase in gear lying around the room, it made sense to find a worry-free way to store everything. After dabbling with an underwater DSLR housing, I NEED to become more OC when it comes to storage. The housing itself requires diligent maintenance at home. Which is why I sent Jan…

Philippines: Bongga Ka Dive! My idea on how to boost tourism
EDIT: Because I believe in localization, the vernacular tagline is now PHILIPPINES: BONGGA KA DIVE! As a diver, I am biased. Beyond the traditional way of viewing the Philippines as the “land of the smiles” and having some of the “best hospitality in the world” and “great beaches” one of the recreational activities that isn’t…
