Or mine, at least. See, if there’s anything i like about hotels, it’s the bathtub and hot / cold water galore. And Thu night at the MS Vista launch, whilst all the other press dudes were revelling (or what little revelry they could find) in Tagaytay, I was soaking my old, tired, aching, and supremely… Continue reading Microsoft Vista Launch Is Good For Your Health

And now the fun begins
Just around an hour ago, the whole of Philippine Tech Press-dom has been lit up with news of Microsoft’s Press Launch of Windows Vista and Office 2007, which is finally launching next year. I got my invite and the requisite assignment to cover it, and – well – I’m excited. You’ve just gotta hand it… Continue reading And now the fun begins
Ouch and Argh Day
I’ve cancelled my planned trips today because I’m going through a gout attack, something I go through around once a year and let me tell you right now, it is so fucking PAINFUL, but I cannot do much other than bear it and take allopurinol. I try not to be a pill – popper, so… Continue reading Ouch and Argh Day

Review of Casino Royale
Of all the James Bond books, Casino Royale happened to be the first one I read when I was in high school. I remember it was a boring summer, and after watching one of Roger Moore‘s outings (which I remember to be Moonraker), I wanted more. I also remember choosing it because it was the… Continue reading Review of Casino Royale

Of Aggregators and Unique Content
Over the past two weeks, I’ve noticed two new websites that siphon posts off of Ballex and Kikay. This site: http://skincare.simra.net/, which got RubyG’s post on Skin Food, and this site: http://basketball.sports-guru.com, which gets almost all of the posts off of Ballex. These sites are called aggregators, which live off of content from different sites,… Continue reading Of Aggregators and Unique Content
Open Source is Good. To a Point.
Erwin Oliva wrote today about how an RP Software Association opposes the Open Source Bill, here. I expect a great deal of mud slinging to start from either side. What would be good though, is for both to start stating examples of either’s strengths, instead of long winded statements heavy on hypothesis, such as “…imposing… Continue reading Open Source is Good.

My Neighbors
For some odd reason I want to write about my neighbors. To the right of our house (if you come out of the gate), are the Schellekens, featuring M and B, whom like many of the residents of our village, are retirees, and are both pushing the latter part of 70, I think. To the… Continue reading My Neighbors

Wanna write for Movie Exchange? Writing for this site is a labor of love. We aren’t profitable (yet), and we aren’t important enough (yet!) to get movie tickets or freebies. In the meantime, writing about movies demands your best. You have to write with your heart – to reach inside you and find exactly what… Continue reading Contribute
