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…

How far would you go to buy your gadgets?
I have a friend who flies to Hong Kong on a semi-regular basis. He takes the first flight in and the last flight out on the same day. He takes a big bag filled with a change of clothes and his camera, so that the authorities, at least, don’t find him suspicious of TNT. Upon…

Two weeks with the Medal of Honor Reboot
I’m not sure what was more annoying — getting spammed with cheap knife kills in Modern Warfare 2 or getting one-shotted with semi-auto sniper rifles in Medal of Honor. But nonetheless, EA’s latest shooter has gotten me hooked. OK a bit of perspective — I’ve been playing the MoH series since Allied Assault in 2002.…

It’s 3:01 AM. Forty minutes into my sleep. I forgot to send an email. Woke up. Un-sleep the MacBook. Sent email. Checked other browser tabs. Saw posts about a particular 1:43 band on Plurk and a couple of blogs. Clicked on the link. Saw this: OMG.

Blogging takes me places. This year it reunited me with someone I used to work with at my quasi-agency life. We worked really well together in the past and when he asked for my help to do some ground breaking work for a new venture in front of Burgos Circle at the Fort Global City,…

When the executive chef invites you to a steak dinner, say yes!
This is Chef Rhey Huergas, Executive Chef for Friday’s. Do a search for him on Google or Bing and you’ll see that he’s media-decorated. I met him because he’s the cousin of a friend I work with. We were at Friday’s at the time (DOH!), the day was a bitch, and boy were we hungry.…

Geeky Coffee: Reverse Vacuum Packed Alamid
One of the reasons why I still continue to blog to this day is because I get tipped with interestingly geeky things from around the country. This is one of them. It’s rather close to my heart because we’re talking about coffee. Inside the can is 50 grams of coffee Alamid, the world’s rarest brew.…

Played with the Galaxy Tab. Pretty neat!
Side by side is the Samsung Galaxy S with the Galaxy Tab. I own the former. Having played with the Tab for roughly an hour, I can say that the Tab is exactly like the Galaxy S sans the Super AMOLED screen. I now understand why this Android tablet is a viable competitor to the…

I. Friggin. Want. This.
This is the Jura F90 espresso machine. You know what makes it real special? Apart from the touch screen interface, this is the first espresso machine that connects to the Internet. It can gain access to an online database of coffee recipes and settings and saves this information on the machine for your ultra-customized cup…

“Jayvee, you’re the first person outside Microsoft Philippines to see this”
EDIT: My friend Johnny Benitez from Microsoft has also posted his first impressions on Facebook. Before I continue let me just say that I haven’t felt the adrenaline of chancing upon a gadget like this since the early 2000’s. Back then when it was a battle between Palm and Windows Mobile, I’d have Elbert Cuenca…
