Here’s a little preview of a Wordpress theme called “Future Cargo” that I’ll be releasing very soon:
Cool! Alleba Blog now has a PR 5! Up from a 4. Other pages on this site also enjoyed a boost.
Again, I ask… how did your sites do?
I decided to put my blog to the test using CrazyEgg’s heatmap visualization after all the rave reviews it got from the likes of Matt Mullenweg, David Hansson and TechCrunch. Unfortunately, since I inserted the required Javascript code, I’m getting errors from both Firefox and IE.

I don’t want to make a bigger fuss out of it than it already is.
But yes, John Bertrand, you suck. You are SEO’s version of George Bush. You’re old, you’re stupid and no one gives a shit about what you have to say.
Google Adsense emailed its publishers with a ton of cool improvements to its service.
Most notably:
AdSense for search results on your site
Search results are now served on your site via IFRAME. This means your visitors don’t have to veer away from your page every time they search.

I had some fun this afternoon playing around with famous Filipino brands in Photoshop. Here’s what I ended up with:

They’ve opened the floodgates. I’m on Facebook now.
Personally though, I don’t think it’s a good idea.
This is the first of a series of Adobe Photoshop tutorials I’m going to offer on how to create a logo in “Web 2.0″ style.
What do I mean by Web 2.0-Style Logo? If you follow Web 2.0 closely, you’ll see similarities in the way logos are designed: Simple, glossed, gradient, bright-colored and often came with a slight reflection and a beta sign just like this:
Pretty ain’t it? Here’s a quick 6-minute video tutorial I prepared:

I caught wind of a page on Multiply.com called Sundry Online that sells a plethora of products from cosmetics, bags, household items and sexual enhancers. It was the typical amateurish merchant website you would see on Multiply — sparkly logo, badly lighted pictures, words in ALL CAPS followed by exclamation marks (!!!) But what caught my attention was their headline:
Want to have a 4-DIGIT VANITY NUMBER to advertise your products? Only PHP5,600/yr!!!
A few days ago, September 22, 2006, I attended Janette Toral’s event “One Internet Day” held here in the city. I was about an hour late and had to leave while speaker Chris Cubos (of Fwendz.com) was doing his presentation. Shame that I wasn’t able to mingle with Janette and the others. I was particularly interested in YESpayments‘ discussion on their credit card processing services and that of InfoWeapons and their IPv6-ready products. Overall, it was a nice gathering of all those interested in the Philippine IT sector.

My addiction to UAAP basketball suffered a major relapse this afternoon when the Ateneo Blue Eagles won over the UST Tigers 73-72! At the last second and I mean literally ONE second, Doug Kramer nailed the winning shot with a great pass from Macky Escalona. The Tigers were in utter shock on how they could have screwed that up. There’s a few more games to go. I think we’re gonna get it this season! Go Blue Eagles!
Awesome video after the jump.

I recently went on a buying spree on previously owned domains and found some with decent pageranks and backlinks. I’m *not* about to divulge these domains just yet! What’s funny is that one of the domains I bought used to be owned by someone pretty well-known on the Internet. I only found about it *after* the purchase. Now I feel kinda silly. Well, technically it’s mine now. I’m thinking of converting it to a political blog but with a more global scope. We’ll see.

I’m currently surfing the Internet off of someone else’s connection! Yeah, I discovered this a few days ago. I was helping out my cousin with his PHP project over YM but was getting frequently disconnected (I’m on PLDT MyDSL). So I turned off my wireless modem and waited a few seconds. While I was waiting, my cousin was still messaging me! How can that be? Lo and behold, I was automatically connected to my neighbor’s WiFi, which is a great backup for my shoddy DSL connection.
