I did a thing! 🏃☀️

I hope more LGUs in Manila 🇵🇭 implement this. We need to gradually shift from being car-centric to embracing people-centric infrastructure.

I know it’ll take a while—but every small step is key. #ayalacarfreesunday

Hi I’m still alive. 👋

2025 has been a rough year (for me) so far. Just trying to get through day by day.

Hope to post more here soon.

Is it worth buying Davinci Resolve Studio, if I’m mainly editing 4K 30fps footage with a few layers on my timeline (incl. audio, overlays, and b-roll) and I want to do a tiny bit of color correction? 🤔

My platform for editing is my M1 Mac Mini.

2025. Back to basics. Clearly define your goals. Say no to anything that dilutes your focus. Execute. Continually refine.

I recently discovered this short feature from NHK World Japan that showcases a taxi company who have opened their doors to employing foreigners as taxi drivers.

Yes. This experiment will work if you make it your own. Customize your experience, build new ones, make a social network that can be controlled by the people who use it an idea we do not go back on.
The deep goal of bluesky is to decentralize the social internet so that every individual controls their experience of it rather than having it be controlled by 5 random billionaires. Everyone thinks they signed up for a demuskified twitter...we actually signed an exciting and bizarre experiment.

On the flip side, I sometimes put a song on repeat to savour the flavour of music to my ears. Like whiskey on the rocks, sitting next to the fireplace on a cold chilly night. 🎶😌
This is 💯 me. It also happens when I watch a movie. 😅

This afternoon I went to the mall to do my weekly groceries at the supermarket. I spent more than 1 hour to find a parking spot.

Living in South East Asia (Philippines 🇵🇭) I’m aware traffic is a concern. But holiday period is a whole new level. 🚦

Hokkaido, Japan’s northernmost island, is turning to a new generation of batteries designed to stockpile massive amounts of energy — a critical step toward replacing power plants fueled by coal, gas and oil, which create a third of global greenhouse gas emissions.
These batteries could harness the wind and sun to replace coal and gas
