As a theft victim myself, I couldn't help but feel the pain of friends and acquaintances who've lost their precious gadgets recently. One is my Plurk friend Pau who lost his laptop and high-end cameras at the rooftop parking lot of MC Home Depot, The Fort in a span of less than 10 minutes! Last night, Plurk was abuzz again with news of another robbery. This time, somebody recounted how some rogue peeps broke into the trunk of a car and stole a MacBook Pro, MacBook Air and a Dell laptop amounting to more than P200,000 at the Podium parking lot in ...

Go ahead, Plurk your world!
This post first appeared in Manila Bulletin's Terchnews last December 24, but I don't think it was uploaded online. So here's sharing with you my thoughts on Plurk and the many ways by which you can Plurk your world! Is the Philippines on its way to becoming the next Plurking capital of the world? Unlike in other countries where Twitter continues to reign, Plurking appears to be the more popular microblogging medium now, at least among the denizens of the blogosphere. Not a few have said that they've left Twitter for good, or visit there now ONLY occasionally. ... Continue Reading...

My Manila Bulletin column on A Blogger's Wishlist For Christmas appeared two weeks ago, and am reprinting it here.

Christmas is synonymous with wishlists and we do this for a couple of reasons: remind ourselves in choosing which stuff to spend our bonus on, guide our loved ones as to our preferences, or serve as a raincheck for future ...

My Top 3 Cellphone Peeves
Word Sell. Inc. has an ongoing group blogging project on Cellphone Users and Abusers. Since the topic is interesting, I now give my two cents' worth on it. It helps that am in the Philippines, the so-called "texting capital of the world." This way I get to see cellphone mania in action. Here goes my Top 3 Cellphone Peeves: 1. Texting when it's not safe. An example of this is using/not turning off the cellphone in the airplane, before take-off or even upon landing. Am afraid of flying so I get paranoid when somebody insists on texting, as we all know that ... Continue Reading...
Matt Mullenweg on why bloggers shouldn’t be like the Fourth Estate
My Blog-O-rama interview with WordPress co-founder Matt Mullenweg came out last Monday; it was cut due to space considerations, full transcript is here. The bad news is that I wasn't able to attend the historic first WordCamp in St. Benilde :( The good news is that I was able to chase him down just the same. It was over a buffet breakfast, and we were both sleepless: him from drinking the night before, me from working the graveyard shift. Hehe. Also in company were two of the WordCamp organizers, Mr. Batang Yagit, Winston Almendras and Blogie Robillo. Anyway, we all ... Continue Reading...
