Where the Hell is Matt? (2008)

There is a new blog in town - Tech Blog Philippines (www.techblog.ph). I’m one of the contributors on the group of popular tech bloggers in the Philippines. There’s just a lot of them to mention here.

Tech Blog Philippines (TBP) just started and still oiling the engines to the blog and will soon be up to speed. We’re promising lots of new stuff on this blog.

TBP is being spearheaded by the same cool guys at PinoyBlogosphere. Watch this space, it’s gonna be fun!

At the height of WWDC, Twitter is down (11:00AM Central). You know why? Look at the birds. They are moving from different directions. And you don’t have to be a genius to figure out that 8 birds can’t probably carry a 90-ton whale? Err…

So what do you do now? Either go to Plurk, send your sentiments at Twiddict or just go back to real work.

UPDATE: 11:26AM (CT) They’re back up but real slow.

FireNes is a new Firefox plugin you can use to play all those NES game goodies without downloading a NES emulator or those game packages. You simply download FireNes, restart your Firefox, open up FireNes over at Tools >> FireNes. That opens up over 100 NES games. Games you played when you were a kid (at least for me), now right on your Firefox sidebar.

Double-click a game you want and it opens up automatically without even downloading anything after!

To save you time on the controls, it’s the X & Z. You can view the controls by right-clicking any game on the sidebar.

By the way, FireNes runs on Java (if that means anything to you at all). Also, here’s the English translation if you can’t understand anything on the site.

Enjoy your favorite games and have a good weekend.

After almost 2 decades since Indiana Jones graced the silver screen - the 4th installment really sucked. I couldn’t say anything more that this and this already said.

It’s completely and utterly waste of time. Should have watched “Baby Mama” instead and probably laughed and felt good.

If you are an Indiana Jones fan, it’s a must-watch (so you can complete the 4 movies). If you’re not, avoid it.

Sigh.
