Original Super Smash Brothers Brawl on modded Wii?
If you own a modded Wii, you will not be able to play the original retail of Super Smash Brothers Brawl (SSBB). Ironic as it is, buying original copies of Mario Galaxy and SSBB and running these on a modded unit will bring a disk read failure. This is Nintendo’s way of combatting disk backups…

Playboy Philippines: April 2 2008, not what people expect
ABS CBN Online interviews Beting Dolor, the EIC of Playboy Philippines: We have the 20 questions … With this edition I can say, we will have Chiz Escudero. He’s the guy people are interested in.

Post Resurface 3/25/2008: Network Blog Woes, Plugs, On Lighting, PR Tips
Do you resurface posts that have been caught in the pile by your frequent updating? Well, I found this to be an interesting exercise in looking at how my thought train has evolved through the months and years, as well as running the risk of hanging old (dirty) laundry. Still, here are some of the…

Dinosaur Comics: Being and Metaphysics
Bored as I was three years ago, I had been a contributor to Dinosaur Comics, an excellent web comic with a huge twist. Unlike other comics, Dinosaur Comics uses a static series of panel art throughout its three and so years of existence. I remember how one person compared DC to the formula behind poetry…

Toshiba Portege R400: Are Tablet PC’s still attractive?
I never really understood the desire behind buying a tablet PC. The niche for these types of laptops is very small – thanks to the whopping price tag.

Some… wait. MORE realizations about Audiobooks, DRM and Neil Gaiman
There’s something bugging me. When I started subscribing to Audible three months ago, I noticed that my search field for books greatly diminishes when I’m logged in.

Updated: OLPC to pilot in Don Bosco Technical School?
UPDATE: It seems that the OLPC deal is still nearing agreement with Don Bosco. I just find it odd that an announcement was made to all the members of the OLPC Facebook page. Charles Chen made an announcement over the OLPC Facebook page that they have become successful in partnering with PBSP (Philippine Business for…
