Mutineers: We’re Brave Thus We Have to be on Bravehost
[photopress:sundalo.png,full,centered] I’m laughing my *ss off while looking at the official website of the ongoing mini-“coup” led by Antonio Trillanes and that dinosaur Teofisto Guingona.

Philippine Web Awards
What’s wrong with the Philippine Web Awards? First of all, I can’t pay for my nominated site. I’m about to throw P2500 at their faces with my shiny gold credit card, but they won’t let me.

Filipino Celebrity Blogs Click
Mario Lavandeira, whose online alias-slash-blog Perez Hilton hit more than a million unique visitors last July 18, a first for the site. That’s 1 million hits for one day, mind you.

eBible.com – Heaven’s Answer to Web 2.0
How I wish eBible.com existed in my days of studying theology in college. I have to admit that theology (or theo, as we fondly called it) isn’t exactly my thing nor did I excel in it like I did in Calculus and English. We used the New American Bible a lot. It’s that red-colored bible… Continue reading eBible.com – Heaven’s Answer to Web 2.0
