When Paul Stamatiou first blogged about Aviary a few days ago, my curiosity was piqued. We’re hearing about all these Internet-based applications popping up all the time and how they are on the road to becoming viable alternatives to the software sitting in our hard drives, and Aviary may very well be one of them.
Aviary [...]

Today’s a slow news day. I hate slow news days, but then again I hate the sight of a blog that hasn’t been posted to in ages just as much. Thankfully, my good friend RJ Marmol shared this interesting website via Plurk that tells you all kinds of stuff about your birthday. I browsed around [...]

Today, July 27, marks the 94th anniversary of the Iglesia ni Cristo (Church of Christ), one of the biggest Christian denominations in the country and arguably an incredible (some would say impossible) success story. The INC was registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 27, 1914, the same day World War One broke [...]

Daniel Scocco, the genius behind the Daily network (Daily Blog Tips, Daily Writing Tips, and Daily Bits) has concocted a brilliant plan: an international bloggers network.
Daniel says that a bunch of bloggers had thought about a bloggers union a few years back, but in a totally different way: they were concerned about healthcare, insurance, etc.—you [...]

An email from Firefox Download Day hit my inbox today. Firefox 3’s final release is going to be made available for download on June 17. As I’ve blogged before, Mozilla will try to set a world record for most software downloads in one day with their latest version of the famed web browser. If you [...]

Twitter’s been down lately. Anyone with an account at the service will know that. The Web’s been abuzz with rants about the downtime, and while Pownce and Jaiku users have taken this opportunity to invite people to switch, Twitterers still can’t find a better service.
Until Plurk came along.
Yes, Plurk. It’s taking the Interwebs by storm [...]

Janette Toral is holding the Influential Bloggers Writing Project, which you can access at http://www.influentialblogger.net/2008/04/top-10-emerging-influential-blogs-in.html, and I have decided to write an entry for it. I’d written an entry before, but turns out most of the blogs existed well before July 2007, so here’s a spanking new list of blogs that have influenced me, listed [...]

I’ve been using Firefox since forever, and have no regrets. After all, it’s the safest, fastest, most secure and easiest to use web browser available—paid or not—plus, it’s available at absolutely no cost!
If you’re not viewing this web page on Firefox, I suggest you grab a copy of Firefox so you can enjoy a better [...]

Janette Toral is holding this project, the Influential Blogger, and I’ve been meaning to participate in it but only got around to writing this post now. Anyway, without further ado, here are my picks for the Influential Blogs, in no particular order.

Lifehacker — tips and tricks that make life a little better. I always look [...]

I hadn’t planned on writing this post, but I came across a particularly interesting paragraph in Bob Ong’s sensational ABNKKBSNPLAko?! and I thought it was important that I tell you about it. I’ll make this quick. Here we go:
Pero sino nga ba ang learning-disabled, yung mga hirap mag-aral o walang natututunan? Ano ang pinagkaiba ng [...]

Well, Migs and Blogie have written their happy birthday wishes to our favorite blogging platform, and it’s time for me to do so, too.

If you’re like me, you love finding and pouring all your time on good reads. Be it classics such as George Orwell’s 1984 or modern works like Dan Brown’s (in)famous The Da Vinci Code, I simply love immersing myself in the alternate worlds authors create within the pages of their work.
The thing is, once you’ve [...]

I’ve always considered Google Earth to be useless, albeit fun. Today I decided to download the newest version, whose features include the ability to show you where roads are.
So, I’m a big aviation fanatic. I first rode a plane in September of 2007, and was I thrilled. I have a flight simulator installed on my [...]

I thought this would be worth a mention on my own little corner of the blogosphere: a certain Andy has started this little project she calls the “100 Project”. This is what the project website (whose layout is strikingly simple) says:
The 100 Project is a personal challenge aimed at improving my art and disciplining myself [...]

Whether you like it or love it, George W. Bush’s name won’t be on your ballot come September. Yes, our favorite American president will have to leave 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in a matter of months. How sad. As Bush’s tenure in the most powerful office on the planet comes to an end, he’s trying to [...]
