I was in Copenhagen last May 29-30 to get my annual dose of ideas and inspiration overload at the conference aptly called reboot. It’s an annual gathering — a community event to be more precise — that’s been going on for a decade; it has been a crossroads of digital technology and change where practical visionaries meet and reboot. From the organisers’ own words: “2 days a year. 500 people. A

There are a lot more topics served in reboot that whet my appetite, but I will share those musings another time. Here’s some lighter stuff that help me reboot on a daily basis: • There’s a game console designed for active playing indoors and outdoors • Crowds naming products and getting paid for it • And my personal fave — a 2.8 inch karaoke machine (w00t!)

'Ka Bel', as he popularly known and fondly called by fellow labourers and comrades in the Philippine labour movement, has passed away. He was 75 years old. Just read in the news that the tireless labour leader and Congress Representative died 11:48 a.m., Philippine time. He fell from the rooftop of his home, the head injuries proved to be fatal. He was fixing a leak on the roof. Fixing stuff

Rome and Juliet in modern-day Tokyo, where the warring Capulets and Montagues are represented as Yakuza clans. Hamlet in an Earth devastated by global climate change and where the cyberworld is in a state of war. A Second Dark Age caused by a global energy crisis as setting for ‘The Tempest’. These are some of the titles from the ‘Manga Shakspeare’ collection by UK publishing house SelfMadeHero.

March 19, 2008. I woke up groggily to see the rooftops of Malmo covered with the memories of a snow-filled night. The sunlight curling slowly around the corners of the window began to stretch until, suddenly, it drew everything in — the streets, the buildings, the horizon, the lone cloud — and swelled with delight. Another night has passed in a Hilton room that’s erringly starting to look as

I’ve organised a workshop for my company, Media Catalyst, which will address the theme of avatar societies. From 50 year olds to 10-year olds, it’s quite common these days to have one or even several digital identities. It varies by complexity depending on how active you are in the virtual worlds, or how much access you have to online systems. But in general, many of us are members of avatar

After months of procrastination, I finally got around to read ‘Lord of Light’, an epic science fiction/fantasy novel by American writer, Roger Zelazny. The timing is good because this coming Friday, we’re having a workshop on Avatar Societies with Mark Meadows as guest lecturer. ‘Lord of Light’ (awarded the 1968 Hugo Award for Best Novel, and nominated for a Nebula Award in the same category) is

sometimes, i lose myself in the isles of your words in them i am naked to the turnings of seasons as i trudge the desolate streets of mornings awash in tired bodies, the burden of everyday living pulling me to the ground, a distinct awareness surrounds me and i am drawn to these byways as if treading them for the first time your presence is unseen but something familiar amidst the maze that

Happy New Year to everyone and to me!!! Was just reading my New Year post in 2007 and it's quite amazing to read through all those thoughts going in my mind at that time. Some of the thngs I listed that I would change or achieve still have a familiar ring to it. All those feelings from the past are somehow still here, like fear and insecurity but less intense -- and that's good! It feels so much

The star of the night: pork/beef stewed in pork/beef blood, green onions, onions, garlic, vinegar, 'calamansi' (Philippine lime) and hot green pepper. perfect as main dish with rice, or as snack with rice cake, or as beer food! ;-)
