Cool find: Postreach
2007-07-16 22:22:00 Besides writing about various topics for my blogs, I also dabble in a bit of coding, some designing (not the actual work, just the ‘conceptualization’), and plugin-testing.

Poll results: ?Y do U blog??
2007-07-11 11:45:00 Even with just a few respondents, the poll I ran presents it quite plainly that people blog “to keep a journal” mostly. This could actually be accurate, judging by the sheer number of personal and ‘emo’ blogs out there. The answer “to be heard” was meant for probloggers and advocacy bloggers to choose. Well, the ...

The Davao Blogspace is temporarily down
2007-07-10 10:46:00 I’m really sorry about this, but I did a monumental clusterf–k when I was upgrading Davao Blogs.com. As a result, the aggregator site’s down and inaccessible for a few more days.

Alphabet soup
2007-05-31 06:08:00 One of my readers recently asked me about my inclination to use accented vowels in my posts. Stuff like ‘vis-à-vis’, ‘über’, ‘résumé’.

Of blogging and convictions
More articles from this author:2007-05-03 18:54:00 I just want to share a great new idea I’ve found at a fellow blogger’s site. It’s about “blog convictions“, as coined by Jayvee of A Bugged Life.
