Mobile blogging challenges February 15, 2012

Trying WordPress for Android. Twitter and Google+ killed light posting for me. Quora competes in more serious writing. I need to find some good topics for writing.

Where I’ve been June 28, 2011

I haven’t been updating here, so I should say: I’ve been doing most of my writing on Miguel Paraz’s Quora page.

writing on January 1, 2009

“Writing more” is the first 2009 resolution I made. I’m now trying to live it up by blogging, again. I have been writing in the past weeks, on paper notebooks. The idea is to refine and publish them online, but that hasn’t happened. This practice is effective in clearing my head, the only useful practice [...]

Hello Philippine Blog Awards Visitors September 18, 2008

Now, I have a reason to blog – to greet people coming here from the Philippine Blog Awards site. I have judged a few categories. I may be a delinquent blogger, but I remain a voracious blog  reader – most especially for tech and work-related content. I haven’t been attending blogger events for the past [...]

If You Can’t Blog, Get Interviewed June 26, 2008

Thanks to Keith Rull! He interviewed me as the first Pinoy developer in his interview series. Things I’d like to add: to get to do stuff, you need to put in a lot of hard work – and often, you’ll think about the road not taken. And, nostalgic oldtimers might be surprised when I say [...]

Regression April 29, 2008

Many people move from a free domain like wordpress.com, or blogspot.com, to their own domain. Now, I do the opposite. Strange, but with a reason. I realize that my “problem” with my lack of blogging, for a year or so, is simply because blogging is not very important to me anymore. Is it just a [...]

The Global Conversation April 17, 2008

I’ve been thinking how to restart this blog – or if it is possible at all. Should I just give up? On the other hand, I’ve been busy twittering. It’s easy to blame Twitter for the lack of blogging output. But, I actually post a lot online. Much of it is in forums and email. [...]

Twitter 1, Blog 0 April 11, 2008

So I haven’t been posting. But I sure have been tweeting! Well at least I release early, release often – what’s on my mind. But the concept of Twitter as Blog Draft didn’t work for me.

Prologue for Lazy Blogger Me January 30, 2008

I have my own Twitter-style blog. Now I can make quick posts without bothering the Twitterverse with stuff that most won’t care about. Thanks to Matt and Automattic! At first I thought of converting this blog to Prologue. And then, maybe another blog for quick posts. Then I remembered, I had a wordpress.com blog doing [...]

A better reader than writer January 26, 2008

I’ve been a better reader than writer. After reading about personal essay writing, I still haven’t felt inspired to write. Perhaps I don’t have the inspiration – do I need more drama? I wish I could write personal narratives about the tech stuff I do. I’m not working on personal products, as much as I [...]
