Finally got my Pinterest invite. The site is quite interesting but I feel that its more cluttered than The Fancy. I don’t know if which one has the most users, anyway I’m giving it a try. Hopefully in the future they’ll make an iPad app, thats going to be more interesting! Check out my boards tekgik – Pinterest.
Taking notes is one of the vital things to do by a multi-tasking human like me. Jotting notes, minutes of a meeting or just doodling for some ideas can be done on a traditional notepad paper. Every year I consume at least one steno note pad and a clutter of scratch papers for this purpose. For the longest time I’ve been planning to do this digitally all the way ever since I bought my first PDA the Casio PV-200. From that monochrome gadget to now the 9.7″ screen colored tablet I know theres a lot of differences and maybe it is time to really say goodbye.

Will it affect us Filipinos? Yes! Facebooker’s, Youtuber’s and Twitterer’s who post infringing content and media will be blocked, banned or worst sanctioned. And not only that there are many many other services that will be affected. I suggest you read on below or Google SOPA.
An excerpt from Wikipedia:
Proponents of the bill say it protects the intellectual property market and corresponding industry, jobs and revenue, and is necessary to bolster enforcement of copyright laws especially against foreign websites.They cite examples such as Google’s $500 million settlement with the Department of Justice for its role in a scheme to target U.S. consumers with ads to buy illegal prescription drugs from Canadian pharmacies. Opponents say that it violates the First Amendment, is Internet censorship, will cripple the Internet,and will threaten whistle-blowing and other free speech.
With no signal and no internet connection in Manila made me shoot the Black Nazarene procession yesterday. Quiapo church is just a few stones away from my studio but since communications were cut, I got bored and thought of shooting nearby the church. But one man said “Nasa Planetarium pa” which is probably a kilometer away, I headed there without hesitation. Armed with the Fuji x10 camera only, I didn’t hesitate the chaotic crowd and proceeded to the long walk.
iTunes Store US is the main online store of Apple’s digital distribution business with millions of music and videos available. While we have our own Philippine iTunes Store the sad reality is the Philippine store is limited to iOS and Mac OS Apps only. I’ve read it somewhere that this is due to copyright (ehem piracy) reasons. Don’t be sad because this is not a Philippine only restriction. Many of the south east asian countries have the same fate. I have a post here about the “Five reasons why you might need a US iTunes account”.
Surprise! Even supermarkets provide free Internet connection, thats how competitive this business is now. I think Internet has become a necessity and this is specially useful to tech-savvy shoppers who wants to save on 3G and socialize or use their scanning apps like Red Laser while shopping. We are getting there and maybe in the coming years Philippines will be a WiFi’ed country. Dream on since “Its More Fun In The Philippines” (pun intended or fun intended).
The Philippine iTunes Store is limited to buying iOS apps only. Many of the prime features are not available due to copyright reasons. Here are the five reasons why you might need a US iTunes account.
Wall of Video provides an easy way playing thru a wall of movie and TV posters. It’s a clever idea because many times we remember the poster art work than the movie titles. Obviously Wall of Video library comes from Apple because when you click on the download button it directs you to the iTunes Store.
This app is available on both iPhone and iPad as a universal app.
UPDATE: Not all of the videos comes from Apple

It looks like Fujifilm is reserving its big announcement of this interchangeable camera dubbed the X-Pro 1. A banking site accidentally leaked it yesterday. It got some identical resemblance of the current serious compact the x10. We will know next week if this is just an imagination or a reality. I think its legit and I want one.
