b5media’s $2M: Blogging has bought me a whole new world
Though I cannot quantify the quality of my one year stay with my cobloggers at b5media, the financial institutions have pegged it at $2 million USD. Of course, this invested money was meant to grow the business into something we vaguely describe to be totally awesome in the coming months. Of course if it one…

PhilMUG Meet at Teak Bistro
I’m here at Teak Bistro for the community launch of the Mac Pro, 500 inch iMac (I lost count already, the screen justgets bigger and bigger) and the new iPods. Sadly I didn’t bring my camera to take traditional “unboxing” pictures of the new Macs. You can view the full community thread at PhilMUG here.

INQ7.net: We’re still friends!
The online gossip is just too hot to handle. I deal with the people from Inq7 fairly often due to the online media group I’m building for Hinge-Inquirer Publications. Well, the rumors are NOT true. I repeat, NOT true. I had a pitcher of mojitos with a good friend from the staff (partly to celebrate…

Other things that blogging has bought me
Yesterday, Rico and I enjoyed the snack that blogging bought. Contrary to popular belief, blogging can also buy you everyday things – not just cars, houses and expensive tech stuff. For instance, blogging has also bought me the following: 3 vendo machine drinks while waiting for my eye checkup pizza (reall good stuff from Brooklyn…

Has blogging helped you find true love?
It is true that blogging can be financially rewarding. But what about the things that blogging cannot buy – like true love? I’ve heard stories – well, rumors of bloggers who find love (or at the very least a one night stand) from blogging. What is it that attracts readers to blog authors? Is it…

The search for the open wireless hotspot
Like most of you with a mobile computer, I’ve been searching the vicinity for an open wireless hotspot so that I could do work. We still don’t have electricity and water at home and we’ve been trying to chansaw the huge mango tree that fell into our garden (pictures to follow). Luckily I found a…

How to make a good elevator pitch
I got this from Jeremy. The elevator pitch is similar to the drive by shooting of potential VC funding. Here’s a video to help equip you with that tool. Who knows, the next person you might be stuck in an elevator with could be your next venture capitalist.
