Linchpin by Seth Godin is by far one of the best books I’ve ever read. This book literally is one of the foundations of my consulting career and I wouldn’t be doing what I do now if I wasn’t inspired by Seth Godin with Linchpin and his previous books. In this book, Seth talks about [...]

Mind Mapping is one of the best ways to organize one’s thoughts. I’ve been using this method ever since I attended a seminar about it way back in 2004 and this has been the foundation of a lot of my blogs and projects. Initially I was using the iMindMap app for the iPod Touch but [...]
I’ve been shopping around for iPad accessories and cases and the prices are crazy. When the iPad first became available in the gray market, generic silicon back covers were being sold for P1500. After a few weeks though the price went down as more and more vendors started to carry them. Now you can actually [...]
Remember the article I wrote about the Medicol Winner’s Circle campaign? Someone from their team contacted me and we clarified a lot of things.

For those who don’t know I own a food blog called “Pinoy Food Critic“. I’ve been inactive for almost a year now but I started to write again a couple of weeks ago.
