Where credit is due

I always stay behind to watch the credits after a movie has ended. I do this whether I’m at a movie house or even when watching a home movie on cable or DVD. Staying behind to watch the credits has its advantages when in a movie house:

1. I don’t have to jostle other people also [...]


Listen to this lady and weep

 
Her name is Madonna Decena and she is singing for her kids.
The show is called Britain’s Got Talent (American Idol in one of its various incarnations). There’s over thirty videos of her performance on YouTube, but I found this one to load the fastest, probably because its one of the later ones, and there were [...]


I can dream, can’t I

A sort of tribute to the song which I remember best rendered by the late Karen Carpenter, which in Visayan colloquy has been expanded to include the phrase “libre bitaw” (it’s for free anyway), but in times when I know there are things that I would like for myself that are mere pipe dreams, I [...]


Hit and run no more

Ever since the recent spam comment hits Sam and I have been taking, I’d been looking around for captcha protection that works for wordpress. I tried out a few lemons, but this one is a juicy apple.
Try out Peter’s Random Anti-Spam, which took me only three steps to put in place:
1. download from Peter’s site
2. [...]


Halleluuu, hallelujaah

Ngayong gabi
Ako ang sundalo mo
Habang ika’y tulog
Ako’y gising nakabantay sa iyo,
Sinong sawa, sinong galit

Halleluuu, hallelujaah
–Bamboo

If I’d been 25 years younger and [...]


Some of the best things in life are still free

A little over a month ago I had put in a CD request at Ubuntu.com. I was having problems downloading the 7.04 iso file. I was also having problems burning the iso I had downloaded, as I had mistakenly bought a bunch of blank cd’s that had only 750mb file capacity. The ISO needed 800mb [...]


Walang Tulugan!!!

Guess who’s not going to get any sleep at night for the next 4 weeks, after discovering BoxtoBox.co.uk and downloading this little goodie called TVU Player. The finest treat we’ve had this year, FREE LIVE World Cup Football! (a hundred million thanks for the tip, Mr. Nimer)

Double-clicking on the “tv screen” will bring it up [...]


You’ve got to find what you love

Make sure you have a full uninterrupted 15 minutes when you watch this. The video is only 14min and 33 seconds long, but you need the remaining 27 seconds to wipe the tears from your eyes.
This is the commencement address given by Steve Jobs at Standford University on June 12, 2005. It’s a year [...]


The House Recommends Hopping

My own irreverent Visita Iglesia this hopping through the list under The House Recommends, showing one and all why the house recommends them
Pugad Baboy Station lovingly and painstakingly maintained by Juan Tapulan. For PB Fans like me who have had the rotten luck of not having been able to complete the collection [...]


Whose Mountain is it Anyway?

I didn’t take this picture (although I wish I did). One of the engineers at Amilongan did three years ago. I just think it’s one of the coolest pics I’ve ever seen.
