Before tackling huge problems such as chronic defecit spending, internal disorder, yada yada yada, let's start with the basics people. I can no longer count how many times I've seen the words Phillipines, Philipines, or the worst of them all: Phillippines.Nope, I ain't no Mr. Grammar. I don't mind people who misspell or mispronounce words. As long as I can understand your Filipino, Bicolano, or

First, I'd recommend that you use Mozilla Firefox as your browser. Aside from the beauty of its tabbed interface, which kept my taskbar from getting too cluttered, Firefox is also safer than Internet Explorer. I've been browsing risky [or is that risque? ;-)] websites recently, but so far my computer's stayed free of any malware.But I'm sure a lot of you know all that, so why did I bring Firefox

Recently listened to Tsaka Na Lang by Parokya ni Edgar. I'm still inspired by its laidback, let's-just-live-life tone. Always loved hearing it during long roadtrips and when feeling bad. I guess many people might not know about this song, since on the album Bigotilyo it's just before PNE's massive hit Mr. Suave.

Today I was working at my business partner's house. The whole place is a hotspot, and I was surfing while rendering some computer models. For some reason, my partner's two brothers and sister-in-law were in the same room, also in front of a computer. There were three laptops and one desktop, for a combined total of four.The presence of so much hardware in a small space made for a busy scene,

I just discovered SiteAdvisor, an online database that rates websites on how safe they are. It's quite easy to use. Just go to siteadvisor.com, enter the site you want to check, and a report will appear. This way, you'll find out what kind of e-mails that site sends, if its downloads contain malware, what other websites are linked to it, browsing annoyances (pop-ups, disabling of back button, etc

Usually, when you look for a phrase, such as "Naming your Blog," the search engine returns variants. In fact, many search returns don't contain the phrase itself in the title. But with widely used terms such as "What's Wrong?," it's a different story. All titles are the same, differing only with thefollowing words. I didn't even need to use quotation marks to tell Google to look for the exact

When I decided to create a blog, I wanted to give it a unique title, something that would be easy to remember. I searched all over the net, even going to behindthename.com. Eventually, I found wisdomquotes.com. One saying struck my fancy:One who asks a question is a fool for five minutes; one who does not ask a question remains a fool forever.Unfortunately, I just looked around using Google's

Aside from my parents, I also owe two other people for the laptop: my Tita Marie and Tito Vitus. Tita Marie, my aunt, brought the laptop back to the Philippines from the US, bearing its 7.5 pound heftyness.Tito Vitus, the oldest geek I probably know, helped me find the best deal possible, coordinating via Gmail Chat. He ran through websites as fast as a crawler, searching for the biggest

I'm finally free!Last March, I graduated from college, after 8 long years. No, I didn't take an MBA, med or law school, I was supposed to complete your average 4 year course. And yes, I had a hard time getting into academics. There was actually a time when I saw no point to finishing college. My first four years saw me flunk out of one university, move to another, and nearly stop taking college
