In my recent dive trip to Mactan, I noticed a pipeline running parallel to the shore of resorts lining the coastline. This was easily at 10 – 15 ft. Apparently, this is a sewage pipe. If you’re active on Facebook you may have noticed a photo going around the diving circles of a crack in…

The Internet you CAN’T have
Skeptical? 112MBPS from Sky Broadband is a connection available for residential areas. The catch? You can’t have it unless you own a unit in Rockwell.

My take on Starbucks VIA Instant Coffee
To the left is a shot of freshly ground arabica beans used for espresso or for brewed coffee. To the right is the contents of an opened sachet of Starbucks VIA (yeah it’s a bit blurred — for effect!). The ground arabica comes from beans that have been roasted within 18 days, the average length…

The ‘Anti-Social Media’ Social Media
Anyone who browses Reddit has already been exposed to the TechCrunch-Reddit fiasco over “logo day.” You can view Arrington’s statement here and the comments from Reddit here. One comment really struck me and I’m posting it here (click image to enlarge). This guy describes a phenomenon that I’ve been mentally wrestling with for the past…

Boarding the USS George Washington
It’s not everyday you get an invitation from United States Ambassador Harry Thomas. It was a bit surreal — both being handed an invitation from his office and being invited to board a nuclear powered supercarrier. The boarding after the jump!
