Personal COBOL

I found this at Book Sale this evening all sealed and still looking
fairly new (published 1992). I could have gotten this and re-learn
COBOL but one thing stopped me from wasting money.

The code samples are stored in 3.5" floppy disks.

Dave Batista

I was walking along Ortigas Park and I thought the world was about to
end when I saw a bunch of bald almost-naked men standing in the park.
It turned out to be standee ads of Dave Batista for a new energy
drink.

They could make nice wrestling celebrity souvenirs in the future though.

7-Elections

Even 7-11 decided to cash in to the election fever happening in the Philippines. At least it's a good info campaign. They have paper cups of all the candidates in their signature colours. Could be good memorabilia in the future.

Veronica's cursive handwriting

It's amazing to see how a child quickly adapts from one practice to another. Six months ago I can barely read my daughter's cursive handwriting. Now it has improved tremendously with practice and self-initiative.

There is still a lot of room for improvement but for an 8 year old this is quite legible already.

GTUG meetup

My office hosted this month's Google Technology User Group (GTUG) meetup and had a very good turnout. Dan Delima of Google Japan did a lenghty discussion of various Google technologies like Visualization, GWT, and GAE. Christine Songco of Google HQ was also at the event.

Thanks for the pizza Christine!
