  • P50.00 a day can get you a Netbook and Home Internet

    Yesterday we asked you how far your P50.00 a day could go. We mostly talked about apps you can download from the iTunes store but really, an app is an app … is an app! So the word’s out today. The PLDT-Smart group have released a new home office promo which sounds mighty attractive: for…

  • Happy Valentine’s Day!

    To the younger readers, you probably may not remember this but back in the days when the Sony Walkman was the portable music player to have, it had one particular feature that trumped any other portable device. Yes even the iPod. At that time, carrying around a Walkman enabled you to “share music” but in…

  • Geeky things you can buy for P50.00

    When Apple revamped the music industry with single track purchases for less than P50.00 per track, that changed the way people sold applications and in-app purchases. It’s essentially the “tingi” method turned into a digital business. Now there’s a huge product launch tomorrow but all we can say is that it has something to do…

  • Ticket to Ride (Pocket) is FREE today. Get it, quick!

    If you’re a big fan of board games and own an iOS device, I highly suggest you download Ticket to Ride Pocket (that’s the iPhone version) because it’s free. Ticket to Ride is one of the best selling board games in recent history and the port to the iOS is just plain amazing. You know…

  • Bump up your Dropbox space to 5GB for free

    Despite being hooked to the iCloud environment (we have a 4s and an iPad 2), I’m still a believer in Dropbox. Whereas I was forced to use iCloud, I chose to still sign up for a Dropbox account because it really makes document sharing more efficient while being platform-agnostic. The only problem with it is…

  • Fine Dining: A Short Film by Lance Katigbak

    “I wanted to be able to show that poverty doesn’t have to be a hindrance to be able to do loving acts. Even if you are materially poor, if you have the dedication and if you refuse to lose your human dignity, it’s still possible for you to help others, (…)” – Lance Katigbak Lance…

  • The DOT linked back to my ‘It’s More Fun’ Tutorial!

    Got home to a big surprise! The Department of Tourism has linked my “It’s More Fun” meme tutorial onto their front page under Fun Stuff! I’m really happy that the blog has been recognized in this way. The site also links back to other amazing works from fellow netizens as well as official “It’s More…

  • Pinspire vs Pinterest

    So Pinterest came first. Pinspire followed next, albeit rather quickly. Pinterest needs no introduction. But if it did, I’d say: If Path is the hot new social network of 2012, Pinterest is “new Tumblr of 2012.” Developed by the Samwer Brothers of Rocket Internet, Pinsire is a fascinating copy of the former. So what gives?…

  • Google’s New SEO Algorithm: ‘Social Engine Optimization’

    EDIT: I was listening to an episode of TWiT three days ago and the end result of the controversy is exactly what I outline in the latter part of this post. As of last week, most of your SEO tactics are rendered obsolescent. Somewhat. Last year, Google’s top level mandate was “to go social.” And…

  • Student makes 3D version of Arkham Horror. Help her beta test it!

    Imagine that, to complete your Bachelor’s degree you design a 3D version of one of the best board games ever made: Arkham Horror. I’ve been so wanting to get into it, but the sheer number of expansions, time to invest coupled with finding people to actually play with hinders me from this awesome experience. If…
