No Comments on The Death of Publishing 1.0?

I’m sure you’ve heard about this before. It’s been summed up so many times as “the death of print publishing, hello Internet,” “Byebye paper, hello computer screen,” “Save the trees! Stop printing on paper!”

Of course, there are several arguments that claim how print will continue to be a relatively niched medium of communication in the same way that people still use film cameras, do theatre and listen to vinyl.

We’re working on a little experiment that has to do with a dash of frivolity, online ad space and new media. Byebye Publishing 1.0, hello Publishing 2.0.

“I am a Photographer” and other stereotype idiosyncrasies

8 Comments on “I am a Photographer” and other stereotype idiosyncrasies

I started my Photoworks classes yesterday under Leo Castillo. This is actually part of my “self development plan” which I’ve been putting off for some time. Photoworks is a word-of-mouth series of classes that started back in 2002 and has been raved as one of the better digital photography classes in the country. Session one was fun – it was defnitely something worth signing up for because it is meant to be experienced rather than “pare turuan mo na lang yung techniques na natuto mo ok?”

Other self development plans include enrolling in a fun physical activity to keep fit. I’m thinking of joining this group with my cousin. Does anyone do Airsoft? I used to enjoy this when I was young, and apparently airsoft guns have now evolved into really cool pieces of machinery. I want the sniper rifle.

Another self development plan includes traveling (alone). Im thinking of going to Singapore or Cambodia if the budget fits. Any suggestions where I can enrich myself somewhere in Asia apart from the Philippines? I realized that I haven’t been on a “real” vacation in three years. And who knows, maybe a rhinoplasty Toronto.

The Invisible Shield and some branding stuff

7 Comments on The Invisible Shield and some branding stuff

I got a package in the mailbox today. Though this is not odd for me to receive stuff from abroad, it really intrigued me that instead of my name, the senders had placed my blog title “ABUGGEDLIFE” as the recipient. Gee. So this is how blog branding works?

Back in July, I had written about the Invisible Shield screen protector for the iPod. Thanks to the power of trackbacks, the people from ShieldZone contacted me and actually GAVE me a free shield for any gadget that I owned. I have never seen the invisible shield in the Philippines – the usual screen protectors I see are the ultra clear ones from Brando and Martin Fields which you can buy from Digital Walker (Parksquare, Makati, beside Yoshinoya).

So the package finally arrived. Since my iPod did not have a screen (yay iPod shuffle!), I opted for a protector for the other gadget I’m still honeymooning with … my REBEL XT!
