  • So will you buy Crocs after they’ve reinvented themselves?

    About three years ago I bought my first pair of Crocs. It’s akin to the first time you experience anything in your pubescent life — and then grow up to realize that what you did was a bit overrated. So despite being comfortable, the lot were in agreement that the “awkward” fashion sense outweighed the…

  • Wowed by these James Zabiela Promo Material

    I like ’em because they’re are geeky. Especially the first peg, with the Bender action figure and the army of Daleks. YEP, James Zabiela is doing a big room at the A Venue this coming May 9 2009. Details below! It’s not often you see promotional material like this for a big room event. You’ve…

  • Windows 7 RC1 wallpapers are made of amazing!

    With the first release candidate for Windows 7 due on the 5th of May, the community (yes, even Apple community folks) are impressed with new features such as Windows XP virtualization and play list streaming over the Internet from any computer (it’s like last.fm for Windows Live).

  • Three Thoughts on Personal Branding Online

    I’d like to share three short pieces I wrote as a regular contributor for Performancing. What ties the three together are really just my thoughts on personal branding online and marketing yourself. The first is a short brain fart on determining what type of blogger you are based on how much information you are willing…

  • Sandbox: The Social that’s Local

    Back in January I worked on a project to pre-launch a rather ubiquitous idea called Sandbox. Well I wasn’t alone. There were hundreds of other Internet personalities, influencers and media practitioners in the Philippines involved in the beta testing phase, which is, to my knowledge the biggest crowd sourced activity ever orchestrated in the local…

  • Open Water Dive Certification Week I: Dive and Trek, Anilao

    Henderson Gold Core What a weekend! I’m in the process of completing my open water diving certification under PADI (yay a blog!).
