Ring Mah Bling
All you haters out there, listen up.
If you think you’re impressing the shorties with the latest and greatest, well think again, cause this homie’s got sumthin for yall.
Dolce&Gabbana, and Motorola’s come up with the gold or silver V3i DG, and all you fly-mothers better come correct, or this dawg’s gonna get you awwooo awwooooo!
Check it out, you’ll get special ring tones, screensavers, wallpaper, and animation. Specs are 1.2mp. cam, quadband, class 1 bluetooth, etc. etc.
But the honeys don’t need that. The honeys need the matching gold pendant, the gold bluetooth headset, the gold wired stereo headphones and gold wire phone case. After calling the homies, you’ll need to put it somewhere, so you gotta have the gold leather phone case too.
Bluetooth Usage Guide
The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG), has released a Bluetooth Icon Program to help “guide consumer purchases of Bluetooth enabled devices”.
Here’s how it goes:
Print – The print icon lets you know that printing can be simpler by allowing you to wirelessly print directly from your computer, mobile phone, PDA or any other device displaying the print icon.
Input – The input icon shows that you can control as well as input data wirelessly to a device. This makes for fewer cables on your desk and improved control over portable devices without using the tiny, built-in keyboards.
Google Calendar Rocks. Hard.
I’ve always been a big fan of calendars. Especially the ones with scantily clad young women peddling cheap liquor, usually found in vulcanizing shops or car garages. Ok, that’s not the point of this post. Focus now. FOCUS.
Google Calendar recently launched the ability to display itself on any website.
This means you can create a calendar of activities on your Google Calendar, (don’t forget to activate sharing), then run the process which will produce code that you can slap onto your blog or any site.
My reaction?
Aklatangpambata.org Gets On PCIJ
Aklatangpambata.org is one of the NGOs that took advantage of my Free Website for NGOs offer (which I’ve yet to make a page on this blog for to explain what it’s all about. AArrrghh).
Anyway, I made them a simple WordPress blog and apparently it’s served them very well. The Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism (a group of true modern day heroes imo), has picked up on their efforts to help teach the value of reading to the kids of Barangay Paltok, Quezon City.
My First Cnet Link
Joey was once again nice enough to cite my blog, this time re the Alyssa Alano Keys Me post.
I live to be read by you, Joey! :)
The first time I watched it, I thought it was some Eastern European girl. After I saw the big GMA banner in the back, I was aghast, surprised, and finally, amused. Amused my foot. I laughed my tail off.
Nostalgia: Firefox
I got the idea from Melvel, our newest blogger, about including films that have moved us or we just liked, and made a special “Nostalgia” category for it. I’m encouraging all of the contributing bloggers to occasionally make their own, and here’s mine:
There are a lot of bad reviews for the 1982 Firefox, one of Clint Eastwood’s “failures” as a Director, but for me, obviously since I’m writing about it here, I’ve a far different view.
See, spy-thrillers are my thing. Either in books or movies, the Cold War imho, inspite of it’s many tragedies, managed to produce one positive, and that is the spy-thriller. And so while it was still in fashion, I couldn’t get enough of it. From Frederick Forsyth to Ken Follett to Graham Greene, Robert Ludlum, John Le Carre and Tom Clancy, I lapped it all up. Guilty pleasure, I’m sure. But regardless, if it has espionage, spies, quiet deaths in the night and many crossings of borders, usually European or the occasional Chinese one, I want to read about it, and mostly I did.
So here comes Firefox, and with it Clint Eastwood, the prototype American hero, forever squinting as if looking into the sunset while his horse gallops into it, hand quick to reach into poncho for his six-shooter, to shoot lead into anyone unlucky enough to get in the way. The perfect opposite, it seems, of the European hero-spy, either played by underacting types as the French Inspector who hunted the Jackal in “Day Of The Jackal” (couldn’t find his name), or the nerdy but sharp academic John Ryan of Tom Clancy fame.
A Treasure From Youtube
I’m Gary, and I’m a Youtube Addict. Youtube’s hooked me good, and with some thanks to PLDT’s unexplained increased bandwidth, I’m having my fill.
One particular vid’s got me reeling though, and for some odd reason I watch it everyday since I found it last week.
It’s the Beatles “Rain” from 1966. It was done in full-on MTV style, with the fab four on location, unlike the norm at the time where you’d just see a band performing on stage. I’m not sure if this really started MTV like George Harrison said at the beginning of the clip, but it’s certainly unique esp. for that time.
And there’s something about them, something about John Lennon in all his youth smiling, singing and looking like he’s enjoying himself, as opposed to all the surliness and melancholy I grew up thinking he represented in the later years. There’s Paul and George singing backup, and the unique Ringo Starr drum work.
I know their life stories as well as anyone by now. And as I watched them I couldn’t help wondering how’d they have reacted to the way things would turn out. This is Paul years away from the Eagles. Ringgo and George just strumming away and goofing around, and the tall pre-Yoko Ono John, just singing and smiling and doing what obviously to him felt good. A true icon, a legend and musical genius, years away from tragedy.
SE W550i write up out
My review of the Sony Ericsson W550i finally came out yesterday, rather belatedly since I submitted it about two months ago, but it’s all good.
I really really liked that phone, and for P15,000.00 (at the time I reviewed it), I think it was a steal with its internal 256mb, built in radio, music player capabilities, and comfortable (sideways) way of playing downloadable Java games. Caveats are lack of expandable memory, a proprietary connector for headphones and USB, its bulk and weight and the sideways opening thing loses its appeal after a few weeks.

Now that her infamous video is making the blogging rounds all over, the question is will Alyssa Alano’s career get a boost from the internet?
Think about it. Before I saw it last week, I had never heard of her, and even ABS-CBN’s “WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE (viva) HOT BABES??” poll gives her a 0 rating.
But after her ‘Awesome!’ GMA performance captured on Youtube, that can all change, and she didn’t even need to take her clothes off. I’m sure there’s a lesson to be learned for movie promoters here, although what I’m not entirely sure. The point is, she’s getting famous, albeit not as planned, but famous still, which I think for most Viva hot babes is good enough.
Anyway, her own page on the internet is here.
And finally, the moment we’ve all been waiting for…
