Bye-bye Sony CyberShot; Hello Olympus

YESTERDAY I blogged about the untimely demise of our old but reliable first generation Sony CyberShot.  It has served us well and served us enough so we don’t feel too bad about it.  But its ‘death’ was untimely just the same because a replacement was not in our immediate budget.

Sony CyberShot is ‘Dead On The Water’

FOR SEVERAL WEEKS we mourned the ‘death’ of our first generation Sony CyberShot.  Note that I used the word ‘death’ instead of ‘loss’ as should be appropriate when referring to an inanimate object like a digital camera.  In this case ‘death’ seems more appropriate than ‘loss’ because we did not really lose the Sony CyberShot.

My boss, Jose Eduardo C. Delgado (JED) sweet talked me into getting one.  (He is paying for half the P5,000 monthly charges so I cannot really complain.)
JED got his iPhone 3G about a month ahead of me.  His iPhone replaced his Nokia E90 Communicator.  As far [...]

Weird keyboard

THIS KEYBOARD BLEW me away!  When I first saw the photo I thought it may just be a mock up, or perhaps someone with lots of time to waste did it on PhotoShop (or GIMP).
Turns out it is in fact a real keyboard.  I still find it difficult to comprehend what application it could have [...]

PHILIPS Bodega Sale on SEPT 13!!!

 
FOR THE FIRST TIME the much anticipated Philips Bodega Sale will be held not in some out-of-the-way and hard-to-go-to bodega (warehouse) but in a commercial shopping center right in the middle of Metro Manila.
