We called ourselves The A-Team 2, and had calling cards printed out, grappling hooks made and missions to accomplish - mainly to rid neighborhoods of bullies and to make life hell for the folks in the grade school honors class and the teachers we disliked. Leslie, Torqui, Mervin and me. Plus Keith (these photos are for your benefit, bud) who was the extra man. Apat lang kasi ang A-Team, so si Keith yung babae. Here we are 25 years later! http://didipusrex.multiply.com/photos/album/115/I_Love_It_When_A_Plan_Comes_Together Tue, 22 Jul 2008 05:58:22 -0000 How very spot on. http://didipusrex.multiply.com/links/item/25/The_State_of_the_Web_-_Summer_2008 Wed, 9 Jul 2008 08:10:03 -0000 I've been interested in skateboarding using longboards for the past few weeks and a friend's nudge eventually led me to a technique called LDP or Long Distance Pumping, where skaters propel themselves forward without their feet touching the ground. They shimmy and wiggle in order to achieve forward motion, even going uphill. Seems to be a bragging point the longer you can go without kicking the ground. It looks mighty funny though. http://didipusrex.multiply.com/video/item/29/Long_Distance_Pumping_ Tue, 8 Jul 2008 04:15:53 -0000 I do. They do geeky rock pretty damn well.

The not-so-great thing about my day job as a tech reviewer is that you get tired of seeing the same cookie-cutter gadgets again and again, such as portable speakers for digital audio players. But, once in a while, something comes up that captures my fancy and tickles my ears, something like the X-MINIMAX capsule speakers. By “capsule,” I mean that these speakers, undeployed, take the shape of a large antibiotic pill, the kind you shove down your throat to kill off any nasty infections. Two speaker units connect magnetically at the base to form the distinct capsule shape, small enough to fit in a jacket pocket. Setting up is a matter of cracking them apart and connecting them to your audio source via the supplied retractable cables. Once you’ve connected everything, position each speaker pod on either side of your audio source and crack ‘em open. By that, I mean each pod actually cracks ... http://didipusrex.multiply.com/reviews/item/12 Tue, 1 Jul 2008 10:42:33 -0000 <a href="http://wordle.net/gallery/wrdl/41488/Slamdancing_with_Sta_Rita"><img class="alignleft" src="http://images.didipusrex.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/SGibqAoKCDYAADNrSs41/starita%20cloud.jpg?et=vbmv29XZ2KcIjbRUbwqZyg&#x26;nmid=0" border="0"></a>Nothing like fluffy, colorful word clouds to brighten up your day.
