Missing Horatio
I haven’t been downloading any movies lately and certainly not any of my favorite CSI:Miami Season 6 episodes. Been busy with work and more work and keeping the bandwidth at home at optimum performance meant no large downloads, after all four of us share this connection.
I’ve always liked CSI:Miami. Some CSI afficionados may think the original CSI show, based in Vegas, is the best. But I watch television to be entertained, and watching CSI: Miami’s bright beaches and upbeat pace sure beats sitting in a Vegas hotel and walking in dimly lit streets at night.
Although CSI: Miami was one of the many television shows hit by the writers strike, it’s good to know that Horatio and the Miami Dade team will be back next month. I’ve got my trigger finger (err, I meant mouse finger) ready on the torrent button.
free rice
I found this on ruth’s blog, and it’s definitely something worth passing on.
how good is your english vocabulary? what if for every word you know, you could donate a spoonful of rice to feed a hungry person in a poverty-stricken country somewhere in asia or africa?
test and improve your english vocabulary online. for every word you get right, freerice will donate 20 grains of rice through the UN world food program to help end hunger. about freerice:
DIY Branding can be Fun!
One of the most difficult aspects of marketing your business is branding. Some startup companies do it the simple (read: cheap) way with a word processor and built in graphics. But logo design is not just jazzing up a wingding on a photo editing program. Designing companies know this, and will charge you an arm and a leg for designing your corporate identity.
Not anymore.
You can design your own logo and branding on Logoyes.com. It takes less than five minutes to come up with a business card design on Logoyes, what will probably take time is going throught the vast number of choices available for your logo, colors, typography and layout.

Bayani BF Fernando is watching YOU.
Government property do not remove. Mere possession of this sign is punishable by law. MMDA.
That is the note lining the bottom edge of this enormous tarpaulin sheet that I have seen in at least three places along EDSA. The one above is on an MRT pillar adjacent to the turnoff to the Fort Bonifacio. I have seen another one on an MRT pillar at the intersection of Ortigas Avenue and EDSA, visible if you’re southbound. The third one is at another MRT Pillar in Pasay, just before hitting the Taft Avenue MRT stop.
(Update as of:
- March 4 2008, I spotted two more of these banners back to back on the pink wire Pahayagan ng MMDA at the corner of Roxas Boulevard and EDSA, on the MOA-bound side.
- March 6 2008: Another banner on the tallest MRT post at the Buendia MRT station.
- March 10 2008: Another blogger, Makoyskie, has spotted a banner at IPI Pasig, and has also posted his ideas on the subject.
- March 11 2008: Two more banners, back to back on the tallest posts on the flyover from Tramo to EDSA.
- March 13 2008: An additional banner between the one at Buendia/Edsa and EDSA to the fork going to Fort Bonifacio, making that three banners in quick succession that the motorist sees along that short stretch)
- March 19 2008: Now that I have had the chance to traverse EDSA from end to end I realize that the Bayani Fernando banners have multiplied like mushrooms after a lightning storm. There are even smaller versions of it now (what, they’ve run out of tarp?) which have been hung on the smaller posts in between the big ones.
First time I saw it was on the 25th February, during the rally by the EDSA Shrine. Bayani BF Fernando, Big Brother-like as in George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty Four. At first I thought the gigantic poster of billboard proportions was the idea of an overzealous supporter. But the “Government property” note at the bottom edge clearly states that the money for these self-serving banners came out of taxpayers’ pockets.
