Constant Random Change

Two election related articles have been making rounds in the intarwebs lately and they’re interesting enough to link to in this blog:

Was Manny Villar really ever poor? – Spoiler: No.

Noynoy Supporters are Proof that The Philippines is a Wowowee Idiocracy – one of the few things I hate about having a home office is that other people in the house watch Wowowee instead of doing less inane things like, say, read shounen manga (which are pretty inane when you don’t read them with tongue firmly in cheek). This blog post sums up why I hate the said show.

Just one more day to go before AME no Jidai!

Here’s the SOS団 showing how to get to AME no Jidai’s fair venue:

Been busy the entire week, with the first two days spent on a somewhat complicated Google Wave Robot/Gadget/System and the past three days trying to clear my “unfinished business” bin.

Anyway, I wrote this post is just to advertise our 6th fair, the feudal Japan themed AME no Jidai (AME’s era).

It will be held at A. Venue on November 28, 1PM – 10PM. Tickets are PhP 100. More details at the fair site.

I’ve been quite busy this past week with a lot of boring things not worth mentioning here. Long story short, there’s no Friday Randomness this week.

Windows 7 launch this week. Will drop by Gilmore tomorrow to see if they’re already selling OEM versions of Windows 7.

Japan probably got the best deals out of this launch. Not only do they get a custom theme, an official OS-tan voiced by popular voice actress Nana Mizuki, they also get a special Burger King 7-patty Whopper for only ¥777 (for the first 30 customers, ¥1,450 for the rest).

What do we Filipinos get?

A freaking SM North Edsa Launch Event and a PhP 7,777 pre-order “promo” for the stripped down Windows 7 Home Basic. If it was a Home Premium, that might have made sense, but just a PhP 223 discount for an already crippled version? Sorry, we’ll pass.

Oh, and yeah, Apple has already rolled out their Get a Mac response ads. They were fun back in the Vista days, but after the Snow Leopard screw ups and the stability of Windows 7… meh.

More random stuff from this week below the cut.
