ARCHOS PMA 400... sharp zaurus competitor... has wifi! rumors say the latest version on display from this years CES has built in tv tuner? man, you can watch videos and store lots of music with its 30gig hdisk... can be used as a PDA... and oh, its linux based!

mobile tech is definitely something to look forward in 2005!

hmmnn... mobile indie! independently mobile!

Finally, something than can put an end to the Java vs. C# debate!

its raining and its cold and dark outside...

cellular telcos loves to eat us,
as if we don't have any feelings...

lesson learned...

never discuss your ideas with them...
behind the pretty smiles and seemingly nodding faces...

hides the reliable xerox droids...

life is never meant to be fair...

i find this Sharp Zaurus SL-6000 really sexy... hopefully, prices will drop as these became outdated by newer devices...

The Rainmaker (1997): great movie! wasnt able to closely capture the excitement of the original novel... but entertaining nonetheless... seriously, all the lawyers should pray to God...

hehe... just noticed the weather applet says manila is smokin' :)



Happy New Year Everyone!

before and after tsunami Satellite images... hope the new year brings new hope to those affected by this disaster...

And of course to Google for unselfishly making Gmail free and by far revolutionizing the way we search the web... i thank thee!

Seattle Post-Intelligencer: AP - Asia: Tsunami death toll rises to 76,700... a stark contrast to a happy new year... may all their souls rest in peace... a prayer is needed for those who were able to survive the tsunami but are in dire need of food and medical supplies... *can* somebody DIVERT all those war funds to these people affected by the disaster...

a smile to remind us all that however bleak the future may seem, one can still find the courage to smile and realize that there is hope everytime the sun shines...


this is "Raquel" from the missionaries of charity where we held our christmas party. it's pretty amazing how events like these could change your outlook in life...

Merry Christmas Everybody!!!
Happy New Year Too!!!

Smoothjazz.Com - Where Smooth Meets Jazz... i must be getting old, as am really beginning to like jazz music... especially in the mornings and late nite happy coding sessions... i still dig kurt cobain's music and other distortion induced hymns during the afternoons... so i guess that means i still belong to the "too old to be a rockstar, too young to give up being a rockstar" category...

back to basics...


public synchronized int get() {
while (available == false) {
try {

notifyAll();
return contents;

hmmnn... some noticeable changes on the mrt north station today... the pinkish mmda fence extended for a good distance from the base of the stairs facing sm north... the ongoing renovation of these are should in theory ease the traffic on this side of town... lets wait and see... anyway since the i already walked for a good few meters and the all the bus on the way seems to really crammed with people, i plodded on and decide to just walk all the way to the tricycle area beside the cyberzone... the footbridge (as usual painted with pinkish delight, for some reason somebody thinks the world looks good in pink) is now passable and was tempted to take a picture of the area but decided to be on the safe side and just enjoy the scenery and nevermind taking a souvenir photo home with me... anyway it seems to be a good late late afternoon exercise... of course i had to pay 18 pesos for the tricycle fare instead of the usual 6 pesos if i rode via the bus, but all in all it feels good to do this once in a while... also, by doing this i get to stroll inside the mall and maybe finally decide what gift to get my lovely wife as the two kids had theirs already (its a tad easier find a gift a kid would like)... ahhh, Christmas with the whole family really is the jolliest time of the year...

Map24 slickest online map i have seen! smooth zooming rocks! this is an applet... would very much like to do something similar for the philippine map... namria's online services should have something like this... i always had a penchant for location based services/apps, the posibilities are endless...

Mathematics and Sex... some hilarious comments there from the slashdot crowd...

Copernic Desktop Search - The Search Engine for Your PC... its free... will try this out... beagle is still far away from becoming as polished as this...

cool blogs: bizdrivenlife.net by wilson ng and ten thousand things by jim paredes... totoy na totoy ang blog ko compared to this guys...

PalmSource to build Palm OS on Linux... hope this becomes a reality...

hmmnn... until now why doesn't INQ7.net add an RSS feed feature? would be great for both their breaking news and mobile section...
