Microsoft Vista Launch Is Good For Your Health
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…

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…

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…

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,…

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…

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…

Further thoughts on the Dove thing
I had originally planned this blog to be merely about tech, then it turned to tech and personal stuff, which then shifted to announcements for the goings-on at Kikay, Ballex, MomEx, MovieEx and PCEx. But now I realized, I don’t have a blog of my own now do I? And if anything, the one thing…

We received an invite to the “Dove Campaign for Real Beauty” website launch 4 days ago. I was actually wondering if someone was pulling our leg. After I confirmed however, we got this: Hi there! I’m glad to hear that you guys can make it to the exclusive launch event that will unveil Dove’s next…

Aklatangpambata was featured by the Probe Team!
I missed it, but the episode was aired last October 11, 2006. From the Probe Team archive: Have shoes, will travel. But then, who said you needed shoes to see the world? Change that to: have book, will see the world! Reading affords one the opportunity of being to so many places in the world,…
