Word Sell. Inc. has an ongoing group blogging project on Cellphone Users and Abusers. Since the topic is interesting, I now give my two cents' worth on it. It helps that am in the Philippines, the so-called "texting capital of the world." This way I get to see cellphone mania in action. Here goes my Top 3 Cellphone Peeves: 1. Texting when it's not safe. An example of this is using/not turning off the cellphone in the airplane, before take-off or even upon landing. Am afraid of flying so I get paranoid when somebody insists on texting, as we all know that ... Continue Reading...
Matt Mullenweg on why bloggers shouldn’t be like the Fourth Estate
My Blog-O-rama interview with WordPress co-founder Matt Mullenweg came out last Monday; it was cut due to space considerations, full transcript is here. The bad news is that I wasn't able to attend the historic first WordCamp in St. Benilde :( The good news is that I was able to chase him down just the same. It was over a buffet breakfast, and we were both sleepless: him from drinking the night before, me from working the graveyard shift. Hehe. Also in company were two of the WordCamp organizers, Mr. Batang Yagit, Winston Almendras and Blogie Robillo. Anyway, we all ... Continue Reading...
Plurk, Twitter & the rest of the microblogs
My Manila Bulletin Blog-O-Rama column this week talks about the unstoppable rise of the so-called microblogs. If you ever wonder where your favorite bloggers are, most likely you can find them in sites like Plurk & Twitter. What you can find here? Mundane details such as what we ate for lunch, gossip in cyberspace and all sorts of chatter that would otherwise be worthless in a blog. Ask me to write a movie review worth writing about and I am likely to squirm. It's quite hard choosing my words and forming them into coherent paragraphs. But somehow it all seems so ...

‘it’s a small world’ at Hong Kong Disneyland, a must-see!
I realized after our last trip that Hong Kong is indeed one of my favorite cities. It is almost a good neighbor of Manila since it's so near and there is still so much about it I want to explore in terms of food, shopping and places. But I have to admit it was quite a downer visiting Hong Kong Disneyland when it's raining. Riding the Orbitron in our raincoats wasn't exactly my idea of fun. My advice really is not to go to Hong Kong Disney during the rainy season, even though I can just imagine how crowded it is during the summer. Size-wise, I found this ... Continue Reading...
This site is (still) best viewed using Firefox….
The pain of changing Wordpress themes.... The past week saw my traffic drop tremendously after I changed my blog theme to Feedoo. For a while there, I thought my blog was hacked because I couldn't seem to access it from our office, gym (Fitness First) and the mall branch of Netopia. This site just drew a blank when I typed my URL. On the other hand, it was weird because I was able to view it from my house and some of my other friends' peecees. My web host Yuga and I got into a discussion and he surmised that it was a DNS problem with users subscribing to PLDT My ... Continue Reading...
