Globe Tattoo Micro-SIM for iPad: Unlimited Plan at PHP 999.00 a month
You know what I love about the press release they sent? This paragraph: Now there’s no need to take scissors to a standard SIM card to make it fit into the iPad SIM card slot. Globe’s spanking-new Micro-SIM is small enough to fit the iPad 3G and hook you up to Globe’s wireless 3G network…

Show and Tell: My Diving Gear
A number of blog readers I meet in person have asked about my dive equipment. Here’s a quick rundown of my complete gear, acquired in the course of 14 months. Most of the critical gear was recommended by my instructor Jan Acosta, alongside my frequent “Sweet Divers” dive group. I left out the rash guards…

Thinking Beyond Blog Posts
UPDATE: Changed the link so you can all view the violator design as a post instead of an index page. June 2010 celebrates the 7th year anniversary of UNO Magazine. I have pages in their tech section and also serve as online editor. Apart from our huge anniversary party happening this month and a really…

Bad Dog: “Totally Creative Graphic Studio” steals Cynthia Arre’s design
An obvious steal. Click on the image for a bigger version.

TORQUE TQ800 Trinity: Triple SIM, WiFi, Mobile TV (below PHP 8,000.00)
PRICE UPDATE: Below PHP 8,000.00 This landed on my desk tonight. It is called the TORQUE TQ800 Trinity. Say bye bye to dual SIM: this one has slots for three SIM cards. They call it “triple SIM, triple standby” which simply means that while one of the SIM cards is in use, the other two…

A Piece of Childhood
A couple of years ago I downloaded The Ur-Quan masters, a rerelease of a game I used to play heavily in my grade school years on the PC. It had a checklist that fulfilled a sci-fi geek’s wish: lots of ships, lots of aliens, a commentary on man’s struggle against insurmountable odds, explosions, and yes…

Congratulations to Benj and Vangie!
You know, it’s been a WHILE since I got comments that could serve as actual blog posts. You know, I wish I could have given away more tickets — I really wish I could! But the reality of the situation is that I only have two. And these two go to Benj and Vangie. I…

Overflow
The machinations of Philippine commerce is rooted in sponsorships. A sponsorship is not a gift. It comes attached with a string, more often than not a tight one. It tugs. It demands. It does so in exchange for something of greater or equal value. But it does so with a smile. On the other hand,…
