Help! I need a laptop!
This sedentary life is killing me. I want to go out and work at Starbucks or some place. And for that to happen, I need a laptop. I'll be just using it for typing, browsing, blogging, and a bit of photo manips here and there. I just want something with 512 MB of RAM...
Torrent and YouTube freaks are to blame if the Net goes down
That's right! So better lay off downloading the latest episodes of Smallville, CSI, and Grey's Anatomy. If we all wake up with the Internet down on its knees, we all know who to blame. Get this, 60% of uploaded data from computers is P2P traffic swapping video data...
UP Diliman Main Library offer access to more electronic resources
I just came home from a forum on documentation and other scholarship. I don't want to talk about much brainy-geeky suff issues for now so I'd rather discuss the other portion of the forum on e-library services. So the Main Lib is beefing up its services by offering...
Maybe I’m wrong about Dwyane Wade
Holy cow! Yet another Dwyane Wade post. Hell yeah! I'm a Heat fan, remember? I've unmercifully bashed last season's Finals MVP together with a bunch of the new guys in an attempt to find out who will give Mike a run for his money as the Greatest Basketball Player of...

Surviving a speaking marathon
So I spoke for St. Matthew's College in Cainta, Rizal yesterday. My topic is built for the geek stuff - Learning Resources for the Internet Generation. "And boy, it was a blast. There were four different sessions for the different levels in high school. So I was...
Why buy a second-hand guitar
Authors Note:This is the first part on my How to buy a second-hand guitar series of articles. I've been sort of a guitar guide to newbie friends. I wouldn't claim to be a guitar expert. I've just made and effort to combine my keen purchasing skills with my collective...
So who was the “Next Jordan” again?
I've been a Heat fan ever since Shaq and D-Wade got it going. But what the heck, they're the defending champs and they're a losing team (with 19W-23L) with the All-Star Weekend looming. Blame it on an aging Shaq for missing out so many games to injury. D-Wade's still...
