  • The Cheap Seats Is Where It’s At

    So as a follow up to my Vertical Horizon post I bring forthwith images to serve as proof that gaddammet we were there!!! (and just barely) Friday 12/7 will be etched in my mind as one of the most eventful days ever. After a harrowing experience with the most assholest person I’ve ever known, I…

  • Sorry no smart title for this one

    At the moment I can’t help but want more than anything else to wring someone’s neck. A situation happened with a client late this morning and it has led an influential person there to come to the conclusion that I am trying to squeeze him for money. It basically involves asking me to do a…

  • You’re A God And I Am Not And I Just Thought That You Would Know

    Yes those are lyrics, but before all that: “Yes. Thank you very much for the excellent service. Looking forward to more transactions with you.” – Ms. J. M. Rodrigo of ADMU – and that my friends, is a quote (with permission) just received from a buyer from the Kikay Shop, after a routine check if…

  • Fairly eventful day if not marked somewhat by physical inactivity

    I wanted to work out this morning but hey, what I like about working out is that its easy to make excuses, right? So my excuse is I slept late and therefore woke up late and hence my life albeit unhealthy is, however, explained properly, for what that’s worth. But first, CONGRATULATIONS MAUI. To anyone…

  • OpenSocial and the Freaky Future

    Google’s video re Opensocial is a freaking 57 minutes long so I didn’t get to watch all of it (my downloads are hogging the bandwidth), but it’s purpose is fairly clear. The Social networking phenomenon needs a way to hook them all up together and Google is answering the call. The html+javascript implementation is a…

  • The Perfect Writing Machine

    This post is about my eternal search for a laptop as a writing machine, as opposed to a coding machine, gaming machine or whatever – else machine. First, the best so far. To date, nothing I’ve tried, and I’ve tried a lot, beats the experience of the 6 (?) year old PowerBook G4. Inasmuch as…

  • Fools Rush In Book Review

    I really enjoyed reading Fools Rush In, Nina Munk‘s research on the gargantuan AOL – Time Warner fiasco of the late 90’s and early 2000s. There is no better way, I think for a person to understand the Internet Bubble and dot com disaster of that era than reading a book that puts you right…

  • Two Issues For Today’s Post

    One : Do not buy a Motorola C651 cellfone. It is a constantly hanging piece of crap. Two : With a budget of only P1k, I am looking for another cellphone that will serve as a ‘2nd phone’, mainly for g-cash purposes. If you live in Manila and you have one in good working condition…

  • Lust, Caution Movie Review

    From the moment that I first saw the movie’s preview I had determined that I wasn’t going to miss it, and when I finally watched it it just went ahead and exceeded all expectations. Lust, Caution (Se, Jie) is an amazing piece of story – telling – an intricate, tightly wound tale between lovers whose…

  • aaand we’re back! (again)

    Finally found a good enough host for this blog, and Movie Exchange as well, which we are now re-christening as (drumroll please…): flickmaniac.com awww yeah. I admit there was a point when I was wondering if I was even gonna resurrect either blog, but I decided, what the heck. The cost isn’t too steep and…
