Wow, is like everyone catching a cold, fever, asthma, headache? 3/4 of the people I know are down with something.
I have all three!

Aaron Brazell, who does a great job over at Technosailor did a fantastic post for Problogger defining the 10 Things You Should Know About WordPress 2.0.
We’re currently running at version 1.5, supporting better spam guards and the ability to recognize podcasts. WP 2.0 looks even more promising.
Yep, WordPress is getting a mighty upgrade and I’m so dying to see what it will resemble in the next few days.
WordPress? WTF if that?
If you’ve been seriously blogging for any bit of time at all, you’ve heard of the juggernaut that is WordPress. WordPress, of course, is the most popular self-hosted blogging platform utilized by independent writers. The official launch of WordPress 2.0 is upon us and, no doubt, the blogosphere will be buzzing about its launch. As a tester of the product since the early days of the WordPress 2.0 alpha builds, I’ve watched, participated and even assisted in the development of this software.
From what Aaron writes, it seems that WordPress 2.0 is turning into a drag-and dropping, community-building, anti-spam shooting, CMS generating monster that will truly benefit bloggers of every stock.
Oh crap, this is such a technical post. I doubt you got this far into the post with a smile still on your face.
Oops. I did it again.

On behalf of my dog Hondo, I would like to greet everyone a very Merry Christmas!
Though I didn’t win the Philips 5.1 home theatre system or a shopping spree in any Ayala Mall, Monday night was one of the more memorable evenings I’ve ever experienced.
And if I tell you the reason, you’re going to laugh at me. Real loud.
You see, last night was the very first time I got drunk. My 25 years of gallyvanting has been limited to caffeine shots in coffee places and bottomless iced tea in restaurants. Add the few shots of hard liquor here and there to cap the pinnacle of my wild life.
Of all places to get drunk, it was at the year-end Microsoft party at Fiesta San Miguel over at The Dusit Hotel. Now any bar with the words Fiesta and San Miguel put together leaves you with but an obvious clue as to what people do there.
Apparently, Fiesta San Miguel serves their draft straight from the brewery into your glass. They brew their own beer! Damn, no wonder it was like water. I had eight.. or was that nine huge mugs. With bottomless bibingka and puto bumbong.
My Mac is in the shop, waiting for a new logic board to be shipped in seven days. In the meantime, I have resigned myself to reading more, carrying less on my shoulders and enjoying the rest of the Christmas season gadget-less.
It’s not bad. 🙂
Speaking of Macs, I’m in dire need of name suggestions for a blog about all things Apple – more like an objective look at Apple products including the iPod and the Macintosh. This is a co-authored blog written by myself and another friend I will reveal later on set to launch before Christmas (hopefully!) under b5media‘s hood.
One thing I learned from domain searching is that the more popular the topic, the harder it is to find the perfect .com nomenclature you absolutely want. Some of these gems we thought of included The InCider (incider.com) as in apple cider, The Apple Gate, Macintalk, and other less popular yet catchy domains such as therealitydistortionfield.com.
I’m so MacUlit. Help.
