Over stimulating an infant’s brain with non-stop audios can cause permanent damage. Old-fashioned nuzzling, kissing and tickling is still a more effective way of communication.
Meanwhile, too much reliance on gadgets can affect the memory; specifically, the ability to remember dates and numbers. But then again, who wants to memorize dates and numbers?
I have always been vocal about it — I don’t expect them to spend their adult lives taking care of us. I don’t want them to. I don’t want them to take on high-paying jobs that they cannot be happy with, thinking they have to because it is their responsibility to take care of us in our old age. I want them to be able to live their lives fully and freely. That’s partly why Speedy and I work so damn hard — to be able to feather our nests comfortably so that Sam and Alex won’t have to worry about us when we’re old.
For the past couple of days, I’ve been surfing the web for tutorials on mobile blogging. I’ll be away for a week and… well, okay I’m a compulsive blogger and I don’t know if I won’t go on withdrawal if I can’t blog for that long. There will probably be internet access during the first [...]

It’s really just a sample and not meant to be a stand-alone video entry. I’ve been checking out the available free video hosting services out there, comparing the speed at [...]
Because only Alex and I use Macs in the house, and Sam has an MSI with a dual OS of Windows and Ubuntu, she says her dad will get her one of these.
Is it cool or what? But Microsoft Surface is rumored to cost US$10,000.00. I think Sam is dreaming.
The Microsoft Surface Parody is, [...]
Sometimes, I wonder if I really ought to feel happy about Wordpress upgrades. In theory, it means getting bugs fixed, maybe get additional features — in general, added usability. But upgrading isn’t always that simple. You have to turn off all plug-ins and, sometimes, after the upgrade some of them will no longer be compatible. [...]
The first time I read the features of 1Blogtheme, I knew I wanted it for my blogs. It was simply too cool. I installed it in Sassy Lawyer on trial, was happy that despite the insane amount of code in the templates I managed to customize the theme so I decided I would install it [...]
Since yesterday morning, my broadband connection has been slow and spotty. And that’s the good news. The bad news is that between slow and spotty, my internet connection is dead. PLDT customer service (outsourced, of course) has put in a recording to explain the “browsing problem” with an assurance that their engineers are working to [...]
Okay, time to answer a few e-mails. Most of them, I just reply to; others, I prefer to answer here to avoid repetitious queries and because, maybe, the Q&A will benefit others.
1. You design your blog?
Noooooo… There is an attribution link on the right sidebar. It says Whitespace theme by Brian Gardner. He’s the same [...]
A huge part of blogging is reading — not only mainstream media publications but blogs as well. With the blogging boom seen during the past few years, it is not always easy to decide which blogs to read and how often. And with so many people claiming to be an expert of sorts, whether the [...]
