Just A Little Break

Tuesday, August 21st, 2007

Many thanks to friends and colleagues who reminded me that they still read my blog. I still have two entries in draft. You have my word. You’ll soon be wasting your brain cells on my thoughts.

Meanwhile, I’ve been very busy (and this time it’s really serious). So for your ultimate pleasure, I’m giving you the chance to phostohop me.

Me and Sanya at Mint

That’s me and Sanya. She joined MYX’s VJ Search thing and won. This was taken at the victory/birthday party last August 4 at Mint, The Fort. Congratulations man!

I have another photo taken with a cute contestant that didn’t make it. But unfortunately, my photographer refuses to release the photo.

If you are disturbed by the picture above, feel free to let me know and I will take it down.

Megabidyo

Got this from Advocrazy. Here’s another video sharing site. I don’t feel like they’re going to beat YouTube though. I like the part of the YouTube player at the end that gives you the embed code and URL. I think that’s crucial since viral videos make these sites popular.

And I agree that Asia what’s-her-last-name isn’t that convincing on this video. The seek feature is cool though. I’ve seen other sites try it.

Cost Cutting

Thursday, August 9th, 2007

We had our telephone line disconnected. My Dad says it’s to cut costs. At first I thought it was okay. Later on, it became such an inconvenience.

Over dinner, I said that we should swap our cable subscription in exchange of the phone line. My mom and sister objected. The following are my arguments:

  • TV is not that good for the brain. If they want news, we have AM radio.
  • They only watch Wowowee and HBO. Wowowee is available over-the-air and they could download or rent movies.
  • Power consumption will go down.
  • My brother would spend less time watching TV.
  • We could sell some of our television sets.

Which side are you on? If you’re on my side, do you have other arguments? If you’re not (shame on you), what makes you choose the telly over the telephone?

Shoot.

Hacker Daw Sila

A couple of months ago, I posted my thoughts on this ABS-CBN XXX BS show. People started writing complaints as comments on that post too. No wonder these people get scammed, they don’t read. Here are clips from the show for your viewing pleasure.

A Short Love Story

Sunday, August 5th, 2007

I remember seeing a “free wifi” sign at Greenwich, Emerald Ave. (Ortigas) so I decided to have dinner with myself last Wednesday. I really don’t like Greenwich plus KFC opened up beside them a couple of months ago and I like their salad.

I kinda enjoyed it. It’s not overcrowded like KFC. I was starting to think that I was going to eat there more often. Also, the provider is Globelines (makes accessing my files at home easier). It was like being in love.

But when I was just about to finish up, I lost the friggin’ signal. It was their way of saying, “buzz off cheapskate!” I was heartbroken.

Crap. Blue balls.

Pixel Porn

Friday, August 3rd, 2007

I checked out CityPixel. I think it’s a new spin on dating. It’s like myspace for miniature interior designers. It’s still in its early stages so there’s nothing much to do.

It’s a city based from New York hence Pixel York. You can claim an apartment or an office cube, design it, then, err, say hi to the girl dude next door. Lots of AJAX, moving cars and a chopper that passes by every now and then. There’s also a currency, pixels, which you can earn by logging in everyday, making friends, uploading pictures, blogging and all that cyberflirting stuff.

What really interests me is their business model. There are billboards in the city. 99% of them are available. There are a lot in the northwest areas and you’d see some big names like eBay and Starbucks. Do you think they are earning enough to break even? Even with just the hosting cost alone?
