Up to the time I decided to write this, I couldn’t figure out whether I liked this movie. It was lunchtime, I was famished, and I chose to watch it while munching on a Burger King Junior Whopper, regular fries and Coke, so maybe I was distracted. Or maybe it’s because it’s a movie with… Continue reading (Just Barely) Over The Hedge

RIP Soozyhopper
I’ve no idea who she/he is, what she/he does, where (I’ll just choose she) she gets here info, and who those people are she talks about.
The only thing I know is that the day Soozyhopper died, is a sad day in Philippine Blogging history.
Why?
Plain and simple, Soozy spoke the truth, or at least the truth as she saw it.

First takes on the Amoi Blue M626 Laptop
If it weren’t for aforementioned quality issues, I’d recommend the Amoi Blue M626, especially at the competitive Php46,000.00 SRP. However due to such, and the fact they don’t make even bother to provide English manuals, I’d say keep away.
In search of the ‘cowboy’ phone
My old phone has been wanting to be put to pasture for almost a year now, and cheapskate (I prefer to call it ‘practical’) man that I am, I’ve been holding off on buying one for just as long.
Well, there’re other reasons actually. And they’re also the reason why I’m using a five year old+ phone. I’ll try to list them down:
First takes on the NEC Versa M350 1704DW
I think the Acer 3242WXMi now has some competition after I took this one out of the box last night. At this very moment, it’s sitting on the desk running on batteries, with all the screensavers and power saving options turned off so I could time how long it takes till it dies.
First takes on Acer Travelmate 3242WXMi
Taking a quick break right now from reviewing the gadgets to post my first notes about the Acer Travelmate 3242WXMi, the first model I’ve tried.
There’s a ‘Travelmate 3240’ tag at the lower right side of the monitor. This indicates the series, and ‘3242WXMi’ is the model within that series. I think there are 27 different series from the 2400 to the 8200, with several different types of models falling under each.
It’s unclear how many are in the 3240 series, as neither the Taiwan or Philippine Acer website neglects to mention it. In fact, the Philippine Acer site doesn’t even list the 3242WXMi at all, instead offering 10 other models.
From what I’ve discerned, there are four Series, namely the Travelmate, Tablet PC, Aspire, and Ferrari . I haven’t really determined the diff between Aspire and Travelmate, but I’ll get there soon enough.
First takes on the O2 XDA Atom
Why I’m putting this one back in the box.
Brothers of the Ball Unite! Write For BBall Exchange!
Basketball’s all about love, and since I’m a world-class lover, I hasten onto this Earth once again The Basketball Exchange Philippines, to which all sorts of orange ball lovin’ will reside.
Seriously, I’ve been dilatory in my duties as administrator and chief poster, so I’m making up for lost time, especially since the NBA Playoffs are way into the midst of their proceedings.
So First off, I’M LOOKING FOR MORE WRITERS. If you’re like me, and you do imaginary lay-ups walking down the street, then you probably should seek professional help. However, if you can write about it as well, then GODDAMIT, VOLUNTEER NOW. Email at ghmercado at gmail dot com posthaste.
Secondly, I got myself a fancy new layout, settling on the 3 column Relaxation based Wordpress Theme after my initial 3 column preference called Tricolumn bombed. As it happens, 3 column Relaxation turned out to be Pinoytechblog’s base as well. It’s kinda ugly at the moment, and I hate the colors, but I’ll get back to it soon enough.
Thirdly I got Feedburner to work and put two Google ads, one at the rightmost column and the other to show up during comments. Was working on a nice 468_15 text only setup for the header portion but it skewed things up so I’ll leave it at that for the moment.
Finally, welcome Wilfred Gabriel of NBAaddict.blogspot.com as my first victim writer, and freshly grad Phillip Kimpo Jr. of Crimson Crux as my second. Well at least he’s indicated he’s interested, as he’s yet to make a post yet.
So that’s it. Get your game on, ball up, pass the rock, let’s get the ball rollin’ and all that crap.
Okay?! Okay. Now back to work :P.
