Almost a month ago, I ranted about some SPAM comments. I was only mildly irritated then, but irritated enough to know that I would probably use some bad language if I wrote about it. I opted to limit my words and let Rico do the talking on the BBN.
I could have let the issue go then - after all, I didn’t expect to receive any more SPAM comments on the topic. Damn! I was wrong. Just this morning, I found another comment - no, I found the same comment in my inbox.
Yup, the commenter, a certain Pian Sarmiento, writing from the IP address 122.53.136.228, had the gall to leave a comment on my birthday post endorsing a political candidate.
Again, expletives are flying through my mind, but I’ll try to avoid them. Instead, I’m just going to pick apart your comment. [more…]

A few days ago, I received two comments on my post on the Blog @ Soul launch at Mrs. Fields. Normally, I wouldn’t mind - comments are good. Heck, comments are great.
The thing is, these so called comments had nothing to do with the post. They had no connection at all with The Blog and Soul Movement, Mrs. Fields, or even anything I’ve written about.
I shared my irritation with Rico over email, and he pretty much articulated all my thoughts on the matter over at the BBN.
I don’t think I would be as diplomatic as Rico was, so once again, I’m letting somebody else do the talking for me.

I don’t own one, but I’m a fan of Timbuk2’s line of bags. I toyed with the idea of building my own Timbuk2 bag a few years ago when I got my laptop, but I ended up with something I could get locally.
Like I said though, I’m still a fan, so when I received an invitation to the launch of their Blogger Bag, I braved the Friday night Makati traffic and trooped over to Outback in Glorietta 4.
Did I finally get a Timbuk2 bag? Not really - I took home a goodie bag, but that doesn’t count. I could have won the one they raffled off, but nope - that bag went to Anton.
So what did I get from the launch? Read on…

Shooting sports isn’t easy: you can’t just point a camera in the directions of the action, click away, and expect spectacular results. It’s a good thing then that the May-June 2007 issue of Mobile Philippines: The Ultimate Guide to Mobile Technology has a primer on sports photography.
They can’t spell my name right (there’s an “o” missing there somewhere), but they’ve got more than a handful of phone reviews, advice on Formula 1 racing, tips on underwater photography, and of course, some sports photography tips. On top of that, fellow bloggers Jayvee, Markku, and Rico also add to the heft of this issue.
If that doesn’t get you, they’ve got another gorgeous geek on the cover. In this issue, Miss Earth 2004 Priscilla Meirelles graces the cover. If that isn’t reason enough, then I’ll go back to my first one - there’s a primer on sports photography in this issue, and I wrote it.
If you’re my friend, that should be reason enough for you to grab your own copy. If not, you should get one anyway.

Some of you, I’m sure, are wondering who a certain “bear” is - you’ve already asked. Some others, I bet, are also curious, but too shy to ask. Still some others, I guess, are wondering what the hell I’m talking about.
If you’ve been following the comments on some of my recent posts, you will know what I’m talking about. If you haven’t been paying that much attention, then too bad for you. I’m not going to fill you in.
You see, while this blog masquerades as a technology blog most of the time, it still is my personal blog. Yes, I’ve decided to try and stick to specific topics, but the fact remains - this is my personal blog. What does that mean? I can post whatever I want. It’s my blog, and I choose what to write about.

Yes, you can probably do that on your computer - but do you think you can do that on your phone?
Thirteen year-old Morgan Pozgar of Claysburg, Pennsylvania can.
Last Saturday, she bested over 200 other competitors and won $25,000 at the LG National Texting championship by spelling supercalifragilisticexpialidocious on that phone you see her holding now.
I wonder how she would fare compared to our country’s top texters. Yes, the QWERTY thumbboard helps, but her speed isn’t the most impressive part. She says she sends more than 8,000 text messages a month. That is definitely more than the average here in the supposed “texting capital of the world.”
What she should do now is use the $25,000 to cover her phone bills.
