Carlos Celdran Is One Of My Idols

I've never met him, I'm one of those losers who say 'oh let's join one of his tours!', and doesn't do anything about it, and I'm occasionally shocked at the things he does.
But to those who want to make a change in this world, you can't go wrong in finding inspiration at the ostentatious, silly [...]

My First Speaking Engagement *Changed Sked

Today I received below email. I actually said no the first time I was asked, being allergic to making presentations (I've had enough of that in previous jobs!). But I guess I'm too much of a sucker for a good compliment:
We’re hoping that you could do a 30-minute to an hour talk about blogging as [...]

Finally Met Yuga

I'm very glad to have made Abe Olandre's acquaintance last Friday, finally, at a Nokia event. We were amongst the group who came very early, so I went up to him and explained who I was, and he was very accomodating.
He said he had heard of my sites from his kumpare Alwell whose managed web [...]

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 besides, I [...]

Aspiring DIY Online Publishers: Learn Photoshop

You know I've been blogging for almost 8 years now, and am still constantly floored as to the fact that what I write here is actually read by real people. I know that sounds nuts, since this is, of course, a blog on the in'ernet for chrissake, but I just checked out my 'Just a [...]

The Quarter Pounder that Blogging Bought

Ok so I'm really not into showing off, ok? But that seems to be the standard, mature thing to do if you earn from your blog. And so, I've decided it's time to pamper myself a little, and when I say pamper, I'm talking 'Go Big Time', baby.

Thinking of my blogs a day before Christmas

It's a day before Christmas and I'm writing about my blogs. Call me obsessed.
Anyway, a few months ago, a blogger in a (more or less) popular group blog was peeved at a recent news announcement (i'm gonna try to make this as anonymous as possible, basically because I'm a nice guy, but really, I don't [...]

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, and [...]

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 [...]
