Square One: Here We Go Again.
As you’ve noticed this blog has been pretty much boring as far as the (non) frequency of the posts is concerned. I will try to correct that in the next few weeks. You will also notice familiar (old) posts coming up as I re-post some photos previously seen in my Flickr site, interspersed with some new ones. And I’d like to apologize in advance for the “spam,” especially to those subscribed via RSS. It was a very difficult decision but I’ve decided to consolidate everything (photos et al) into the Octopus’ Garden as I felt my output was being “diluted” with too many “communities.” Let’s see how this one rides out. If things go well, this will definitely see permanence. In the meantime, please don’t expect any new uploads in Flickr. I’ll surely be missing it but it was all good though!

- Clouds Over The Makati City Hall (Time Lapse)
I was hoping the color of light would change dramatically but it didnt. However, subtle movement (cars, clouds) can be noticed if you look closely. :)
(more..) - A Time Lapse Experiment
I’ve had my camera, a D300, for years now and it has this feature to shoot photos at pre-defined intervals. I’m practically hitting myself in the head for not trying this early on, but it’s never too late to give it a shot. So here’s my initial attempt at Time Lapse Photography. Camera was mounted on [...]
(more..) - Black & White Film Processing At Home
With all the resources out there, this should quickly get you into film processing quickly. This is meant as a beginner’s How-To in developing/processing your Black and White film without the need of a darkroom. But, it should, by no means be considered as a one-top-shop for the topic. If you want to advance further or get more technical, tons of resources are available out there for googling.

Slowing Down and Reuniting with Film
In this day and age of digital cameras and warp-speed workflows, why would anyone want to go film? That’s a question that has been asked of me these past few weeks. I don’t know, maybe because after a stressful year at work and the associated warp-speed timelines, I really DO want to SLOW down and [...]

( list everything! )Top Reasons Why You Might Want To Get That Backup Harddisk Already
Regardless of the interests that you have, it’s most likely that you have already accumulated huge amounts of data across the years. However you put it, these data is a big part of your life already. From your college papers, your business presentations, to your accounting and tax sheets, from your technical whitepapers to personnel [...]
Deliciously del.icio.us!
For anyone who uses, at the least, two computers (e.g. a home PC and an office laptop), maintaining a common set of bookmarks can be very tedious. When a change is made on one computer, I used to export bookmarks from it and import into the other, and vice-versa, in an almost vicious cycle. It [...]

( list everything! )Reminiscing My Not-So-Indiana Jones Moments on the Roofs of Trains
A friend, Estan Cabigas recently shared an interesting story about the PNR (Philippine National Railways) Bicol Express that reminded me of a trip I have yet to make. I’ve been planning to do that some time next year. I’m still hoping there’s a cargo hold somewhere that would allow me to bring my Vespa with [...]

It can never be underscored enough how important it is to get the right people for your organization and keep them there. This is an ongoing challenge that a lot of companies face regardless of industry. A lot are stuggling with it and a lot got burnt by it. A lot has already spoken and [...]
