Hello Instapaper
After a month of extensively using Readitlater on the iPhone, I realized it doesn’t fit my needs. Low adoption fro 3rd party apps. Instapaper is still the de facto standard with apps – on the Mac, iPhone, or Android. You’ll be hard pressed to find a good Twitter client in Android which integrates with Readitlater.…

Cross-platform syncing woes: Live Sync, Live Mesh, SugarSync, and DropBox
Microsoft Live Sync was discontinued last March 2011. It was a big loss to my productivity because it had all the features I needed without the typical 2GB storage limit.

The battle of the orange juice
I have recently decided my new goal is to further lessen my caffeine & sugar intake. I am currently taking 4 to 5 cups of black tea with 2 tablespoons of white sugar per cup. A far cry from a few months ago when I was gulping down approximately 2 liters of coke everyday, with…

PAL’s midnight “sale”
It was more expensive to book a flight during Philippine Airline’s Midnight Sale. Well at least by $94. I booked a flight during that May 9 midnight sale for a roundtrip ticket (MNL-SFO). The price was $1,444.70. That caught me off-guard, because I distinctly remembered trying to book a day or two before, & got…
