The night Benjie Tan hooked up PH to the Internet - COOL!

Subject: The Philippines is In!

As of March 29,1994 at 1:15 am Philippine time, unfortunately 2 days late due to slight technical difficulties, the Philippines was FINALLY connected to the Internet via SprintLink. The Philippine router, a Cisco 7000 router was attached via the services of PLDT and Sprint communications to SprintLink’s router at Stockton Ca. The gateway to the world for the Philippines will be via NASA Ames Research Center. For now, a 64K serial link is the information
highway to the rest of the Internet world.

dear megaworld, grand life only costs 15k/mo?

I receive this marketing text promising me a grand life in a premiere location for 15k. Sometimes I wonder why ‘marketing’ promises richer grander living. Are they assuming all people receiving their message are losers?

“Megaworld introduces THE VENICE at McKINLEY HILL!
NO DOWN 0% INTEREST, FOR AS LOW AS P15,000 A MONTH!!!
Now, you can live a grandeur life at the most premier location!
For more info, send name and email address.

if life would give me lemons, create a lemon app?

These are probably what I will do:

  • tweet about it
  • take a pic (http://piclyf.com) of it
  • blog about it
  • eat it, then tweet that i’m eating it
  • take a pic of myself eating it
  • blog about the eating experience
  • will plan 101 ways to make money out of it but never execute them

If life would give me lemons, i’d annoy mark to create an app for it.
