Gilbert Arenas Loves NBA Live 2008
August 27, 2007 – 10:46 pm
So once they started getting out of character it was like they weren’t progressing with the game so I became a 2K fan and then now I’m back to LIVE and I think all the 2K fans are going to come back to LIVE again because they’re going to see they made progress. It’s a lot smoother. It’s not as choppy as it used to be. It’s realer now. It’s not like, “Oh, this is fake. That doesn’t happen.”
Finally an Upgrade
August 25, 2007 – 2:52 pm
Finally, I’ve made the much needed upgrade of my wordpress intallation from Wordpress 2.0.4 to Wordpress 2.2.2. After more than a year, I was able to finally carry out the upgrade.
Canon New Releases
August 22, 2007 – 3:40 pm
There are only two lines of products in the Canon EOS series that have a full frame sensor. That is the Canon EOS 5D and the 1Ds series. Now, Canon is introducing the latest in the 1Ds series, the Mark III, bragging a 21 megapixel image resolution. This 1Ds Mark III, though, is not as fast (5fps) as its counterpart in the 1.3x crop body, 1D Mark III (10fps). Nevertheless, this is a full frame body we’re talking about.
Deuts Into the World of Photography
August 20, 2007 – 4:05 pm
This represents my lens collection (Click on the picture to enlarge). This is, of course, exclusive of the lens I used to take this particular picture, the EF 70-300 f/4-5.6 IS USM.
So far we have the following:
- Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 USM
- Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM
- Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM
- Canon EF 70-300 f/4-5.6 IS USM
Focal Range Coverage
These lenses cover a focal range from 17mm to 300mm in a 1.6 crop body. In a full-frame body, this translates to an equivalent 27mm to 480mm. Just enough (I guess) for my needs.

Nokia released a product advisory regarding Nokia BL-5C batteries manufactured by Matsushita Battery Industrial Co. Ltd. of Japan between December 2005 and November 2006. More than 100 incidents of overheating of the said battery while charging have been reported globally.
I’m reposting the advisory from Nokia website here in verbatim:
100 Years of Academic Excellence
August 10, 2007 – 12:17 am
The Oblation is a symbolic icon representing the UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES. It captures the UP spirit, which has endured for a century: the country’s youth sacrificing itself in the service of the country. This figure is in the foreground of the UP Centennial logo.
Behind it is the Sablay, the sash worn by UP students upon their graduation. It is distinctive, in that across it is inscribed the word “UP” in Alibata letters. This is symbolic of the University’s commitment…

August 10, 2007 – 12:00 am
In an effort to inform the public on how members of syndicates, street criminals and just plain hustlers ply their trade and how not to become victims of crimes, the Philippine National Police has found a good use of youtube. These are—
