Steak and strippers
Bryan (who happens to have finally launched Constant Random Change) and I have been discussing all sorts of things from technology to business. One points of our discussion was this observation on management and the technology business by former Ruby on Rails hacker...
Mmm… Gadgets
This morning has got to be one of the better days of this year. Some aspects of my ego. Team Sugoi got invited to the MSI-ECS Product Demo day at their Libis office and by jeebus, it was fun! The demo day was organized by a friend and I got invited as a blogger (for...
Finally! NBA Playoffs 2009
Yes! After 82 games for each of the 30 team of the regular season, we're down to just the top 8 for each conference. I always favored the playoffs over the regular season due to the heightened grit and intensity when glory is at stake. Last season, I was rooting for...
The much-awaited Los Chupacabras songs (for free)

I now officially join the great number of people dissatisfied with PLDT's DSL service. I've been on PLDT MyDSL for over two years now and I guess my frustration has reached critical mass. I used to think that I'm getting an okay service, getting an actual download...
Crap for cheap
When I started out this blog, I searched the cheapest web hosting package available. Like most newbies on a budget, I was led to Philhosting who claims to be the number 1 hosting company in the country or something. I didn't bother with that since everyone claims that...
High school and open parties: Condemning the coños
Last week, the blogosphere had a blast discussing the jologs incident at the UP Fair. I wonder though, what will happen to this issue about an Ateneo high sophomore allegedly being mauled in an open party. This issue, I think, isn't getting enough mileage from the...
