I am not sure if I have mentioned this but a couple of months back, I finally became a full-pledged US of A citizen.  This after years of paperworks, fees and waiting.  Do not get me wrong, I am still a proud Filipino by heart but I have also started loving this new country of [...]

One of the nice things about Linux is that you have a lot of choices in making the perfect system just for you.  You could make it fast, fancy or both if you want it.  You could also have it the easy way (Ubuntu), the “okay” way (openSuse), the hard way (Debian) or the “suicide” [...]

Google released yesterday the beta of their new product which I was totally unaware that they were even working on, Chrome.  Chrome is a new browser that is totally very “google” - minimalist and sophisticated both at the same time.  It is easy to use and doesn’t clutter the browser with toolbars and icons that [...]

I have finally taken the dive into a whole new sport (or hobby?).  I have always been interested with airsoft even when I was still in Cebu.  Back when I was still there, maybe around 7 years ago, airsoft was just starting up.  Most of the people who played it were rich people who have [...]

Less than a month into this new reincarnation of my website and I have to upgrade it again.  WordPress was pretty good on reminding me to upgrade my site.  And so, like any other geek who always wants the newest and latest, I upgraded my website.  Even if I have to risk losing the data [...]
