Through the powers of technology, the world is witnessing the unfolding drama that is the aftermath of the powerful Intensity 7 earthquake that hit the Caribbean nation of Haiti. Hundreds of thousands are believed to be still missing and trapped within the shattered buildings. For those of us in the Philippines, the quake in Haiti has some parallels, if you count the tragic July 1990 earthquake (magnitude 7.7) and more recently, Typhoon Ondoy. Three Filipino members of the UN peacekeeping contingent remain unaccounted for in the Haiti tragedy. But unlike the 1991 ... Continue Reading...
My ‘lost’ cellphone gets returned, for a change ….
see more Lolcats and funny pictures Having lost big and small things like jewelry and a 21-inch TV to rogues in the past, I've gotten the impression that am quite the alluring magnet to bad elements. That, or it's just the hassle of living in the city where even policemen steal for a living. That's why it was quite a breath of fresh air when my cellphone, which I thought I had lost, was returned to me over the weekend.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3: the perfect compact camera for me
During my birthday last year, the hubby gifted me with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3. This has been on my wishlist for quite some time, especially after we both agreed to retire the Verzio M700 digicam which I got as some schwag from a presscon.

But you'll surely appreciate how, ... Continue Reading...

Google Nexus One superphone
That's right. One of my 2010 New Year's resolutions is to buy a new mobile phone, after having decided that the last Christmas season was a bad time to buy one (prices were high and thefts were on the rise). Unknown to friends, am only using a basic phone and have two other high-tech phones just hidden in the drawer, tee hee. The plan is to give the basic phone to my son (it's time he has one since he's on the verge of high school) while am gonna trade in the two others for a single phone with good video capability. Any suggestions out there? Anyway, mobile phone ... Continue Reading...
