Movie Exchange Makeover!
Announcing some new stuff: new template! I’ve decided to use Frenchman Neuro’s three column template rather quaintly called “Identification band – parallel Boyish style” for Movie Ex. It features some 220px wide columns and a nice larger content area which can fit Youtube Videos. This means we can finally post Movie Trailers! This template also…

Basketball Exchange’s Got Game! Gearing Up For UAAP.
Basketball Exchange.ph is almost three months old now, and goodness how time flies when you’re having fun. And having fun we are!

My Articles Page is now up!
Finally finally finally. I’ve finally gotten around to making my articles page here. I’d always demurred from said activity as I had thought it rather vain, but I’ve decided it’s best to upload them as they greatly help me figure out when (and sometimes, for whom) I wrote an article for at any given time,…

First takes on the Nokia N91
I was very excited to receive one of the first Nokia N91s to come into the country a few weeks ago. I was made aware that it was amongst, if not the first unit to arrive via a letter accompanying it saying so. In retrospect however, the fact that it came from a PR company…

Performancing For Firefox Rocks. Hard.
As Im running Movie Exchange.ph and Basketball Exchange.ph now, posts here have become few and far between. That’s not to say of course, that not much has happened. On the contrary, tons and tons have, and so I must find time to blog, if only because blogs among other things are a great way of…

Executed X-Men
I didn’t grow up in the X-Men generation, so I approach the X-Men, its characters, story and iterations (the comics, cartoons, spin-offs and the several versions of each) as something I’ve missed, albeit am unwilling to pursue since, well, let’s face it, I’ve outgrown it.
