BOOK NOTES: Ready or Not: The 6 Big Disruptions That Will Change The Way We Do Business by Winston Damarillo

Why Facebook is like Junk Food

I’m one day away from going back to Facebook. I’m not excited. Once in a while I give myself these mini challenges in which I get rid of one thing I’m addicted to for 30 days. Today is my day 29 without Facebook. It started back in 2012, when I caught myself mindlessly refreshing social network feeds every […]

What Did I Miss On Twitter?

There are four things that I missed today, on my fourth day without social media consumption: That Tito Sotto made an interesting speech about the RH Bill. I will need to research on that.

30 Days Without Social Media

Five: The number of tweets I post per hour. Five million: The number of times my thumb slides to refresh Twitter on my iPhone everyday. Okay, fine, that’s an exaggeration. But to give you an idea of the amount of content I consume everyday through social networks: I currently follow 1,061 people on Twitter and […]

Nokia Lumia Nation!

WARNING: Sabog! I know it should be all Gaga posts now and this is late and all, but I wanted this up because this is my first shot at shooting with the iPhone. It’s not whoa, but the pictures are sharper than any other phone camera I’ve seen (not that I’ve seen a lot). Whew, […]
