Ronaldo tried to score, and thankfully misses

Ronaldo tried to score some bedtime action with some sexy emmmmm... denizens of the night but later found out that the ladies were packing something else between their legs. Things turned ugly in the hotel room apparently when the soccer star found out about the extra appendages that these ladies were packing in the hotel room. Ronaldo alleges the three madies... (man ladies :P ) were trying to extort him while the madies alleges that Ronaldo had taken drugs and threatened to hurt them. The streets must've been pretty dark in Rio that's fo sho! This has got to be every guy's nightmare, to be in a hotel room with three "alleged" extortionists with manginas (Man + Vag.. oh do the math) is purty scary. And to be threatened with some whoopass by a world renowned soccer player who YOU KNOW can Kick your ass after you try to earn your money must've been scary too for the transvestites. Oh lordy.

Metallica is releasing a new album ala Radiohead and NIN

Aww rats, and you thought Ashlee Simpson's outta my head crap is the worst thing that could happen and here comes news that another supposedly/wishfully dead/gone/comatose band is coming out with another puke bag. Metallica is said to be releasing an album with the same pay what you want model made famous by Radiohead. But the question is.... who WANTS to download the album for free and... who WANTS to pay for the darn thing? Ok, i see some hands being raised by a group of balding, middle aged peeps over there wearing Metallica T-shirts... Yes? you want the album? What? You don't know how to use the Internet? I thought so... Talk about bandwidth garbage.

hydrogen economy

Michael Webber from the University of Texas-Austin estimates that the U.S. will consume 19 to 69 trillion (yahuh, trillion.. baby) gallons (gallons not liters) of water by 2050 in a full blown hydrogen economy. The estimates are based on the consumption of 60 billion kg of hydrogen a year and that the technology used for hydrogen production is electrolysis. WTF?!? 69 TRILLION GALLONS (that's an astronomical amount that's pretty close to Dr. Evil's ransom) As if the world was not already reeling from the effect of biofuel production on food prices then get ready for water shortages because of hydrogen production. As for me I'll be wishing for a BIIIGGGGG breakthrough in cold fusion, i said WISH mmm'kay?

Tenth Tour of the Fireflies

I joined the tenth tour of the fireflies this morning for what is probably the fourth time in my life. The tour is an annual 50 km bike ride around the cities of Manila in celebration of earth day and they encourage participants to come in costumes while riding their bikes. I see the same people who wear wacky costumes every year and I'm pretty sure the best costume award just rotates around the dozen or so cooky people. There were more than 5,000 riders on this year's tour and whenever i join the tour there's always a pattern to the crowd of bikers. The front of the peloton is where all the cooky people are... they set the pace of the tour to make sure that even the kids could finish it. So when u start seeing fairies and a whole living room set on wheels, you know you're in the front. The middle part is where the "regular" people are... but there's still a few cookies in there like a tandem bike riding couple (WTF?!? seriously?) but this is where i like to be. The last part of the peloton is reserved for the hardcore these are the riders with the expensive/ multi shock/ fat tired/ downhill or cross country mountain bikes that usually get to pedal fast due to their distance to the front of the pack, (normally coz they waited long at the numerous stops along the way) So if you're ever in Manila around earth day and you ride a bike, join the rest of us make a BIIIIGGGG traffic jam where all the cars run idle and emit greenhouse gases in celebration of earth day! And remember to choose your crowd in the peloton, the cookies, the regs, and the hippies. Happy earth day!

Where are the digital picture frame mods?

If you mod tech toys and shit, i have an idea for you. You know how cheap and easy to get digital frames are these days right? ( I mean you could get one for less than 50 bucks on WalMart) These things usually have a slot for SD cards (2 to 4 GB are pretty common now) and some also have USB ports on em, and they HAVE to have a chip in there somewhere right? So why don't i see anyone modding these things to run a linux for typing documents? A little more effort and these things could probably get internet access, 3G anyone? So if anyone has heard of a mod like this send the link over so i could oggle at em. If anyone has been inspired by this idea, drop me a line so i could send my address over so you could send me my cheque... T.H.A.N.K. Y.O.U. very much....

Man Vs. Wild

Man Vs. Wild is awesome. It's pretty cool to see a guy head into God knows where with just a flint, a knife and his wits and always come out alive. Living in the city doesn't really provide man with the challenges that living in the woods offer. City folks are pretty used to getting what they want with just a flick of a button and such. Bear Grylls has to climb a darn coconut tree just to get something to drink and all i had to do was open my fridge to get a coke! I think i need a little challenge sometimes, just to remind myself to get off my ass and work to get food and stuff. I should move out of the house and try living on my own. And I'll make my own reality series called Me Vs. My Lazy Ass.

Ahhh... thank God for long weekends.

I got to go to Bicol for the recent long weekend with most of my family and it was such a relief to be out of the office and recharge my energies (and sanity). I took my aunt for a boat ride on the river to a not quite remote town down river. It's always been on my to-do list and i finally got to do it.
The boat ride to that nameless town took an hour and twenty minutes and i was able to see pairs of oreoles and blue kingfishers on the trees on the riverbank. Riding on that boat on a calm river made me remember how unimportant the latest techtoys are. What do I really need an Asus eee for? And a new phone? Will I really be happy if i had those? No, no, no, but I'm sure I'll be happy for a few weeks or when it's useful to me but I doubt if that will make me happy for the longterm. (Tech toys do get obsolete)
I'll keep achin for tech toys but I know that these will never make me complete or even happy for a long time. But these are great for short bursts of happiness, just like watching TV.

Achin for an Asus Eee

I've been veeeerrryyy interested with the Asus eee ever since I read about it somewhere on the internet when it was just being developed. I remember reading a post on engadget about how it was going to cost only $200 and that got me even moooorrreee interested. Well it's been out for sometime now and it's NOWHERE near the $200 price but i think it will fit my computing needs just right. It's around $400 so THAT sucks.... but i like how small the darn thing is and props for the darn little sucker for rockin a linux! (Linux is sexy!!!!) engadget posted another news about how a new version of the eee will come out with a full screen (7.9"?) and carry 16GB and now i'd love to see that out in the wild and come in that sweet sweet $200 price point.... (I'll keep dreaming)
