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…

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…

And now, a special message from the author of this blog
Dear readers, I’ve served as the resident blogger and proprietor of A Bugged Life for the past 5 years. Even longer if you count my original domain at http://20six.co.uk/abuggedlife (sadly I don’t have the password anymore). I thought long and hard to see how I could celebrate this milestone and decided that there are really…

I think speakers should use this as a backdrop to introducing themselves before they speak
I’ve been waiting to get my hands on a beta invite for about.me. First heard about this from a TWiT episode with Ryan Block of Engadget and GDGT fame as one of the guys behind this project. i guess if the Facebook of way way back was implemented today, this would be it (good points…
