Band of Bloggers Podcast Episode 1

photo-70.jpg

I had an idea. So did Yuga (it rhymes!). We had the same idea. And when you’re stuck in Davao for 3 days, weird stuff can happen. Like a podcast project. This is something that should have been done long ago, but with my lack of resources (my old iBook’s mic was shot — having it repaired proved unsatisfactory as GarageBand kept hanging when trying to record really long stuff with things in the background) the project never pulled through. This podcast was created using Garage Band and the built in microphone of my MacBook. Everything was recorded in the hotel room.

BoBCast, Episode 1: Breakfast with Piolo
Hosted by: Jayvee & Yuga
Guest: Aileen Apolo
Time: 20 minutes

Summary:
Davao Blog Party
Casa Leticia
Costa Marina Beach
Wifi in Davao
Bayan Telecommunications
Smart Mobile TV
Palm Treo Launching
Max’s Power Breakfast
Blog Awards

We’re thinking of starting a completely new site it as an entirely different project from our own personal ones. The niche of the PH Band of Bloggers is to talk about the online efforts in the Philippines including new media, internet marketing and the people behind it.

The BuggedCast Episode 0

Show Notes:

  • Welcome to Puerto Galera
  • Yuga gets introduced
  • Marc Macalua and Sharms get introduced. They’re getting … married??!
  • Rico gets introduced.
  • Sasha’s b5media jacket is waterproof
  • Battery dies (deus ex machina)

Okay, this needs an explanation. I had always wanted my own podcast project. Unlike blogging though, podcasting needs a stronger push to implement so I decided to do a pilot recording of Episode 0 at the beach with a few friends.

To those listening from abroad, I apologize for the lack of coherence if you do not understand what we talked about. Listening to this now, I realize that we were really greased with social lubricant.

Thanks to Choy and Brian of Creativoices for lending me their portable Olympus recorder. Sad that it ran out of battery in the middle of everything.

16 Minute Video Interview: The Philippine Blog Awards 2007

This afternoon, Joey Alarilla interviewed Abe Olandres and myself for the Philippine Blog Awards. For the full 16 minute video interview, click here. Gail Vilanueva, the co-organizer who completes the triumvirate was sadly not able to come to the interview because she lost her voice.

Abe and I talked about the philosophy behind the awards as well as our insights on the Philippine blogosphere. We also made the formal announcement of the awards this coming March 31 at Podium 4, RCBC Plaza Auditorium at 5:00 PM.

A Bugged Life Cupcakes by Art Cakes

Since it is the season, I decided to have these cute cupcakes made as Christmas gifts for my friends. Thing is, I have to give these out in five days to the first people I see because the shelf life isn’t very long.

I’ve been exploring other nontraditional ways of getting more pageviews into ABL. It turns out that these nontraditional methods are actually traditional ways of promoting your own businesses. Like these cupcakes.

The logo was designed by Marc and Gail Villanueva and the pastries were made by Art Cakes. If you want to have your own custom cakes made, do send an SMS to their company phone at +63922-5070269.

If you read my mobile phone blog at Cellphone9, you may also want to check out these cute cellphone cookies:

Aren’t they cute? These last for about a month, also made by Art Cakes. The text says “Cellphone9.com by b5media.”
