Sometimes I just don’t get it with people’s obsession with the latest electronic devices (smartphones, tablets, etc) when the one they’re holding is a perfectly useful one. Your smartphone, for one, is now more than just a phone and the things that you can do with it and what your phone can “become” will surprise [...]

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 [...]
RSS: Keeping Up With The Rest Of The World
Years back, the only way for someone to keep him/herself abreast with what’s happening in the world (socially, technologically, etc) is by either making periodic visits to news sites or subscribing to email-based alerts. With the first approach, that would simply be time-consuming. Exactly how many news sites are there anyway? The second approach is [...]

( list everything! )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. :)
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 [...]
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! )Do You Really Need A Smartphone?

( list everything! )Would You Be Your Own Customer?
We’ve seen this scene many times. A company makes a product or does a service and sells it to a customer for bucks, moving on to the next customer, and forgetting about the last. Who cares whether our customers are happy? Who cares as long as we’ve made a sale right? Sadly, this is a [...]
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 [...]
