The Non Sequitur Sassa Bikini Giveaway
About a year and a half ago I did a PR shoot for Sassa / Barbizon for the broadsheets. It was at this time I became infatuated with huge lenses, and borrowed Markku’s f/2.8 70-200 wonderment (oops that sounded wrong!) to shoot the girls. It was there I met Rosie Unson who did their brand…

Snow Leopard retails for P1,690 in the Philippines
Truth be told I wasn’t into the hype for the Snow Leopard announcement as it seemed more like a ploy to get consumers to shell out 29 USD for what could have been a software update. I’ll tell you why — the very fact that Snow Leopard focuses more on “having a faster Mac” after…

Nokia Booklet 3G: The “NokiaBook” is coming!
Boy I would love to get my hands on one of these. It would seem inevitable that Nokia would venture into netbooks, having built the N770 Internet Tablet years ago.

Recalling childhood in Amici and Fr. Colombo
When I was little, part of my routine with dad would be to accompany him to the office. Going to office with dad was considered the highlight of the week. This was mainly because dad’s office always had the most advanced computers. When he was working in Makati, he had one of the first IBM…

UNO Throwdown: Atticus King vs Sarah Gaugler
When we were conceptualizing this event, it dawned on us that there were many kitchen geeks who hid behind the closet.
