Balai Weekend: Koala, Secret Bay and Twin Rocks
Dove Koala, Secret Bay and Twin Rocks, once during the day and at night. This was a no-rush dive weekend spent with Wowie, Ilyong, Marie and Chie. Chie got to try out Wowie’s iDive 300 iPod casing and Wowie served as default barista for the two days spent in Balai making the frothiest cappuccino. Great…

Probably not the best way to road test the GoPro HD sports camera but still
Me my Shark and I from Chuck Patterson on Vimeo. Before I invested in my current JVC rig I was seriously considering the GoPro series which some of my friends have. You can attach this thing onto your bike, your surf board or even onto your dive mask and around your head as a strap.…

Oh this made my day!
I was looking for free to use music for my Pescador Island video. The sardine run needed background music that fit the furious yet choreographed movements of the fish as they balled up and evaded the threshers. ‘Walls’ by Kogo was it. Their single is free to download. You can check them out and download…

Just Arrived: PADI Enriched Air Certification Card
Diving with enriched air has its uses. My permanent card arrived over the weekend. Enriched air or ‘Nitrox’ is a mix used for staying at deeper depths longer without suffering decompression penalties. The sweet spot seems to be around 70ft – 90ft deep and is perfect for wrecks and “hanging out” in such places like…

The Anti Camcording Act (RA 10088)
I highly doubt any of my readers sneak in cameras to document movies, but if you’re a fan of the flea market DVD bonanza, you’ll know what I mean. It’s no secret that movie piracy is rampant in this country, and there is definitely a blind eye cast upon this. It appears that the fines…

Toshiba’s Libretto W100 sells for PHP 72,990.00
Apparently, a Libretto is only produced once every five years. And for 2010, which is also Toshiba’s 25th anniversary as a hardware manufacturer, the Libretto was designed to be a head turner. Sure, the execs did admit that the new W100 isn’t for everyone, but it does strike a sense of elegance into the corporate…

Unboxing and Installing Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty
Today is the global launch of Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty. If you pre-ordered, you’re assured a copy today. I got my hands on the standard edition for South East Asia. Interesting that the box does label the regional distribution as this has implications to the server. Also got my dog tag and Starcraft II…

Midterm review: Samsung Galaxy S
It’s a damn good phone. Samsung has been hit or miss with their phones that run third party operating systems in the past few years. But after seeing their proprietary Bada OS and now, the Galaxy S running on Android, I can barely talk as my foot is in my mouth. I squeezed a lot…
