A Sincere Plea - PBA Website Total Fail

Posted on September 7th, 2008 in Sports | No Comments »

Now that a worthy TV partner has finally snagged the broadcast rights to the Philippine Basketball Association, I can only hope and pray that the PBA finds the decency to overhaul their pathetic excuse for a website. How bad is it? Anytime you litter the website of Asia’s longest running pay-for-play league with Adsense, you know there is something wrong. More crap here and here. It is that bad.
Give the site to Solar Entertainment? The BTV site also needs a lot of work, but at least it doesn’t look like it was designed on Microsoft Word. In fairness to their capabilities, aside from a few articles by some notable people in Solar Sports, it’s obvious that the site’s main function is to provide programming schedules only.
Judging from their coverage of the PBA draft, I am very optimistic that it’s only a matter of time before they do a People’s […]

There’s a Bright (and sparkly) Future for Print Media

Posted on August 14th, 2008 in Flicks, Encounters, Magazines, Sports | No Comments »

Literally.
The September* issue of will have an e-ink cover. 100,000 of the total 720,000 print run will be assembled by hand, with parts criss-crossing the globe before ending up newsstands, jumping out at your eyes with shifting images.
Link to full news item here.

While obviously another way to go when it comes to standing out on the newsstand, we just have to wonder if such a move is just a way for the print industry to desperately cope with the fast changing times. As the business model for magazines in the US is more geared towards subscription than newsstand sales, there is really no need for publishing companies to stick their necks out for the price of evolution.
Of course, there are some notable exceptions.

Take the July issue of FHM Philippines, for example, which came arrived in the local industry’s first ever foil package. The thing you have to take note […]

Wag mapikon sa banner haha patawa lang yan kk? GO DIABLOS!
Well, yeah, we lost again to the Green Vipers..pero mas masakit dahil it’s for the championship. It was almost a carbon copy of our 1st game with them, we controlled (sort of) the the 2nd and 3rd quarters of the game. Then sa 4th quarter, ayun, we choked again LOL. This time, we were just flat out terrible at the free throw line. We could have won the game if we made at least 50% of our free throws.
It was my first time to be in a championship game. Ganun pala ang feeling pag natalo on a big stage. Aray e haha. On the bright side, it motivates me to improve my overall game so I can help the team more next time we compete again. Then again, it’s easier said than done.
Red Diablos, wala tayong dapat ikahiya! […]

Open na ata tong blog! And some random thoughts.

Posted on November 7th, 2007 in Sports, Online Stuff, Life, Kakupyhan | No Comments »

Ngayong nabusog na ako sa libre ni Rico (Happy nth Birthday!), may gana na akong magblog. At buksan tong site.
Welcome to my personal blog! Aq nga po pala si Ronan po. Opo.
I’m not a writer by nature so that means there’ll be TONS of grammatical errors in every post. Ayan ngayon palang naubusan na ako ng english. Sorry na.
Wala pa tlaga akong maisip na real entry so for now, here are some random thoughts:
- Hindi ito Friendster. Nililinaw lang.
- I recently got my AuctionAds payout (finally). It ain’t much but it’s already enough for me to buy a 2-year hosting plan from Hostmonster.com. Should I just keep the money for now? Or gastusin na sa ibang bagay? hehe
- We’re hoping for a championship title on Saturday. We need your prayers and support. - Diablos basketball team
- BMA, tuloy ba inuman bukas? Bat nga pala iinom? Bad yun.
- Widgetbucks […]
