I mentioned how much I liked my new phone in a previous post, and I’m happy to see Yahoo tech users think so too.
I’m the only one who made a review of it on the Yahoo tech page, and I thought the lack of comments meant people hated it, but apparently it was better known as the w600i. I wanna edit my review again to say that, but it seems I can’t.
Yahoo Messenger 8 beta now offers plugins, and I was excited to test the new iTunes plugin:
Which looks cool enough, and is supposed to control iTunes. Unfortunately, it also turns on iTunes itself
From the Chicago Tribune:
Roger Ebert hospitalized after cancer-related surgery
Pulitzer Prize-winning movie critic Roger Ebert was in serious but stable condition at Northwestern Memorial Hospital following emergency surgery related to an earlier cancer-related procedure. Ebert had surgery June 16 after a tumor from salivary cancer recurred, said his employer, WLS-Ch. 7 in information approved by Ebert’s family.
On Sunday, doctors repaired a burst blood vessel, a complication from the earlier surgery, the Chicago Sun-Times reported. Ebert, a nationally syndicated writer and television host of the weekly movie review show “Ebert and Roeper,” is also employed by the Sun-Times.

Two of my articles recently came out these past weeks, first a several – months delayed one, re the Sony Ericsson W550i Walkman phone (I have since acquired one since I liked it sooo much). Article here.
The second is “Lowdown on Gadgets”, which was supposed to be a gadget tips article. Here.

I just watched this video about Barcamp, with the goal to show what it’s all about and such.
I first read of it from Sacha’s blog. Incidentally, her blog, featuring her travails as a stude in Canada, is a fascinating read of the adventures (and misadventures) of a young woman learning her way around the campus, and consequently in life.
It loads like molasses (sorry Sacha :D), but when you read it you’ll likely feel like I do, and applaud her, as if cheering on a heroine in a movie, as she goes through her daily stuff. She is me several years ago (just how many years is not the subject of this blog entry thank you very much), and you’d probably find a part of yourself in her as well.
In no particular order:
I’m a big notebook collector, and no it’s not ‘notebooks – computers’ but ‘notebook – Jolina on the cover’. You know, the one with paper, and requires a pen.
Anyway I’m nuts about these. I appreciate it whenever us press people are given freebie nice ones (I tend to use them till they fall apart), and there was a time I’d buy one every time I’d go to National Bookstore, so I’ve tried the ‘Blue Feather’, the yellow ‘King Jim’, ‘Green Apple’ and all sorts of other brands. I don’t like the spiral ones, I prefer the ones with a spine and I’d use it till it’d get all worn out and loose – leafed (if there’s such a word).
So this brought me to start wondering what the best type is out there, so I surfed and learned about Moleskins, reportedly the ones used by Van Gogh, Chatisse, Hemingway, Matisse and Gary Mercado. Yes I just sneaked my name in there, to see how it’d look aside those legends. Pitiful, I know.
At any rate, I was meandering about Greenbelt 2 the other day when I found these, called (I hope I get it right) “Authors” notebooks. Sorry about the lousy 1.3mpx pics. Anyway they’re covered in soft leather, come in fashionable colors (black, blue, red, pink, green, white etc.) and have really nice unlined paper in it, perfect for when you’re harboring hopeless thoughts of writing the next great Philippine novel, as I am wont to do often during the day.

First of all, this is in no way a hit on our gracious benefactor, a very rich and powerful company, for providing me two tickets to watch Superman Returns at the IMax theater two days ago, at the Mall Of Asia (is it ‘Mall of Asia’ or ‘SM Mall of Asia’?)
As a token of gratitude for an article I wrote about them, it is one of the rare occasions when I’ve received freebies from my writing, and it is highly appreciated in all ways possible.
And now, to my thoughts on the famous Imax theater.
