Food bloggers as the new food critics
I wrote a piece for the September issue of Rogue Magazine on “the new food critics,” revealing food and travel bloggers as authorities in the art and science of degustation. In the 1950’s, the dawning of the food critic gave rise to a certain fear in the food and beverage industry. The New York Times,…

Speedlinking 19/9/2007
Today is going to be especially memorable for me as I start my adventure in bikram yoga. While I sweat inside a human-sized toaster, here are some links for you to enjoy: As tradition goes, here is the link to the schedule for Philippine Christmas Bazaars 2007. Royal Elastics, the guys behind the lace-less shoes,…

Which local telco will Apple partner with for the iPhone?
Slowly, but surely, the (legitimate) iPhone launch is making its way to Asia. Apple has recently partnered with O2 in the UK to be exclusive telco to distribute the iPhone.

Promote the product, not the company
I was watching the La Salle – Ateneo game this afternoon from a local bar in Makati and I couldn’t help but notice how the Samsung Mobile logo kept on appearing above the game timer. I don’t know about you, but whenever I see company brand names, I can’t help but feel desensitized. I don’t…

After months of mental debate on whether I should…

Biblioteca Fernandez and Book Stores
That’s the library on the second floor of my home, where I spent 1/3 of my childhood waking hours (the other 1/3 of my 80’s was spent in front of the television and the remaining pie was dedicated to toys). Afternoons and weekends were usually spent getting lost in the piles of National Geographic, Reader’s…

Every so often it would be good to reflect on your roots as a blogger and what got you started with writing in the first place. Doing this can help put some perspective in your overall goal of blogging whether it be for fun, for profit or for sharing things with others. Remembering your roots…

Photography using artificial projector backgrounds
A wise man once said, If you can’t bring the subject to the location, bring the location to the subject. Err, sometime early last year I participated in a campaign to model for a certain line of apparel. The photographer for the “SM Urbanista” campaign was Xander Angeles and he had a unique way of…

Yay, I made Technorati front page
It was My Good Finds that informed me of this in the form of a comment. I actually do not know the repercussions of becoming a “featured blog” as I surmise that the lottery draw for this is completely random. Now, a front page Digg .. now that’s something. Nonetheless, it’s nice to get some…
