Since iPod touch has been released, I’ve been drooling over it in the Apple website and checking the guided tours and reading stuff about it. I love the user experience that has been offered by iPod touch. I just got myself (advanced Christmas gift to myself) an 8GB iPod touch with a 3 percent discount from the Apple store in Greenbelt 3. I was tempted to order one in eBay but there are a lot of fake gadgets. Thus, I did not take the risk in paying for a ripped off gadget. (more…)
Last night, I joined GeekChorus in the Nintendo DS Nights at Mag:NET Bonifacio High Street. I had the chance to meet Gabe, JC Medina, the PhilMUG guy and his date and the one that I was able to beat in the last round of Mario Kart (sorry I am bad with names). 
Juned and Jayvee were there also. They’re armed with their Nintendo DS while I arrived there with my Sony PSP thinking that somebody else would bring PSP to a Nintendo DS Night. (more…)
The last and 2nd day of the Search Engine Marketing Conference 2007 is a blast. The keynote speaker this morning is from Yahoo! South East Asia (MJ Choi, Regional Sales Manager). He presented some case studies with regards to the combination of Display and Search and the combination of offline ads and search. I was impressed by the way they measured the performance for the approaches he mentioned. Anyway, I would have asked MJ about making YPN (Yahoo! Publisher Network) available to the Philippines. Then, Regnard did a presentation on redesigning a website. Well, the presentation was not really about CSS or Photoshop tricks but it would certainly answer the questions when, what and how. Definitely, I was able to relate to Regnard’s presentation since I’m a website designer. (more…)
Even though I have some basic knowledge about search engine optimization, I felt that what I know about it is just shallow until the Day One of Search Engine Marketing Conference 2007 ended. I find Benj Arriola’s presentation (SEO for Megasites) interesting since it has bridged a gap between SEOs and Website Designers/Developers. It is indeed an eye-opening experience that web design and development with SEO in mind actually puts a lot of value. It is interesting to know how web designers/developers play an important role in the optimization of the website for search engines. (more…)
Some time in June, I was interviewed by the Community Editors of Autodesk Manufacturing Community. It was really an honor to be featured there. In fact, Garin Gardiner of Autodesk posting a comment on my Inventor blog already means a lot to me. :D. Before I received the newsletter in my e-mail, my colleage sent me an instant message with a link pointing to the interview. Again, thanks so much to the Autodesk Manufacturing Community. 
I just tested the LightScribe technology using the DVD burner in my laptop and it has let me experienced a new way of labeling discs. The labels are laser-etched and not printed. Thus, the label won’t get smudged or peeled off. (more…)
Lately I’ve been getting “spam” network messages from Multiply. And it is quite annoying to get one (or more) of those in your email. In fact, one of the members of a certain group that I belong to already posted a network message and reacted about it. The best way to get rid of the annoying messages is to edit your email alert settings and make sure that you only receive notifications on personal messages sent to you and new posts and replies from your contacts.
Is the spam coming from a human spammer or from one of those spambots lurking the world wide web? I hope Multiply will do something about this one.
