  • I’m in this month’s issue of Monday Magazine

    I was asked to showcase my daily gadget haul for Monday Magazine. It’s a great mag run by great people including Conch, someone I used to work with during my days in Hinge Inquirer. Thanks to Mia DeVega for sending me the hires pegs. Click on the images to see the bigger versions. Two big…

  • Pipeline in front of Imperial Palace in Cebu spewing a lot of crap

    In my recent dive trip to Mactan, I noticed a pipeline running parallel to the shore of resorts lining the coastline. This was easily at 10 – 15 ft. Apparently, this is a sewage pipe. If you’re active on Facebook you may have noticed a photo going around the diving circles of a crack in…

  • The Internet you CAN’T have

    Skeptical? 112MBPS from Sky Broadband is a connection available for residential areas. The catch? You can’t have it unless you own a unit in Rockwell. Also, it costs roughly PHP 20,000.00 a month to keep this line. Yesterday, the Sky Broadband team didn’t have anything exciting to download as torrents were not permitted. Typical. So…

  • Marck is awesome so I will post his Netbooster / Globe press release information

    There are only two kinds of press releases. There are press releases … and then there are PRESS RELEASES sent by Marck Ronald Rimorin. I like him. I think many people on the Internet do. He has long hair: shinier and more well kept than most females I know. He has a girlfriend. So girls…

  • The Much Awaited Nokia N8

    I almost forgot I had photos of the new Nokia N8. Nikka from Nokia allowed me to take photos over a lunch meeting last week. This isn’t the final Symbian^3 software build yet but as much as hardware is concerned, this is how it really looks. It’s slick. It’s light. It feels great to hold.…

  • Unboxing the iPod nano (6th Generation 2010)

    This is it. This is what everybody’s been raving about. The “flagship” iPod product that caught everybody’s attention and stole the show is the new 6th generation iPod nano. It’s more than an iPod — it’s an accessory. Add a strap and it’s a watch.

  • Unboxing the iPod shuffle (4th Generation 2010 model)

    You’ve probably heard about the new line of iPods launched just last September 1. Apple Singapore flew in today and gave me a “touch and hold” meet up for the new line of iPods. Let’s start with the new shuffle. After the controversial “look ma, no buttons” 3rd generation shuffle, Apple decided to take what…

  • My take on Starbucks VIA Instant Coffee

    To the left is a shot of freshly ground arabica beans used for espresso or for brewed coffee. To the right is the contents of an opened sachet of Starbucks VIA (yeah it’s a bit blurred — for effect!). The ground arabica comes from beans that have been roasted within 18 days, the average length…

  • Please come this Thursday

    It’s an open invite. Open bar. Good times! Loading…

  • The ‘Anti-Social Media’ Social Media

    Anyone who browses Reddit has already been exposed to the TechCrunch-Reddit fiasco over “logo day.” You can view Arrington’s statement here and the comments from Reddit here. One comment really struck me and I’m posting it here (click image to enlarge). This guy describes a phenomenon that I’ve been mentally wrestling with for the past…
