Code of ethics for bloggers

Apparently there is one from Cyberjournalist.net. They promote very basic ideals of fairness, accuracy, and accountability. This means, like journalists, bloggers need to be aware of these general principles to become better bloggers. Like journalists, they also need to pay special attention to what they write, citing sources correctly, for one.
I’ve taken the liberty to [...]

Jailed blogger from behind bars: CNET News.com

“Josh Wolf, the first blogger jailed for refusing to cooperate with a federal grand jury, says he’s trying to prevent the eroding of journalists’ protections,” one Digg user writes. I also stumbled upon this story.
First, Wolf is a freelance journalist. He’s protected by law not to give away his sources or the controversial video tape. [...]

Guitar gods (or guitarists I love to listen to) Part 2

This is part 2 of the Guitar gods posting. I decided to break them up so as not to overwhelm you with a long list of videos. Oh well, here we go.

Guitar gods (or guitarists I love to listen to) Part 1

I’ve been a guitar fan/player since I was in high school. I learned guitar after I realized I was the only one in class who didn’t know how to play a D-A-G-A chord progression (of course, a G-C-D for most love songs).  So  I bought myself a cheap  300-peso (around  6 US dollars) to start [...]

Filipino ad network for bloggers to launch

Here’s something fresh from the pan: a Philippine blogger and a local firm are launching an ad network for local bloggers.
Abe “Yugatech” Olandres and K2 Interactive Inc. are launching this ad network soon. What’s an ad network? Like real estate, a network of empty space where advertising can be spread around. Each space will be [...]

One of Philippines’ sexiest blogger writes 30 (update)

I just caught a glimpse of her latest posting, dated August 9. Apparently, she’s ending her public blog following some serious incidents (i.e. flaming, misrepresentation) she experienced while blogging. She already has taken down most of her blog’s content.
To Norway on a Bicycle was named as among the top Filipino sexiest bloggers. Her mature topics, [...]

Petrucci’s Glasgow Kiss

Here’s another guitar hero of mine. Dream Theater’s John Petrucci. Not too flashy as Steve Vai, Van Halen, or Jimi Hendrix. But he does occupy the upper echelons of guitar greatness. This song comes from his solo album Suspended Animation. But this video was ripped from G3 Concert DVD. Enjoy!

Amateur videos show off guitar talents

Yes, I am a YouTube fan. Lately, I’ve subscribed to some amateur videos of, er, good guitar players that appear more than just hobbyists. This one video comes from a Thai guitar player who regularly takes videos of himself showing off his latest covers of certain artists like Steve Vai, John Petrucci, among others. He [...]

Google Video’s new ‘Mature & Adult’ category

Apparently, Google Video acknowledges there is a market for “mature and adult” video material. Other free video hosting services like Metacafe and YouTube have done this one way or another. Metacafe, however, has somehow started cleaning up its own database of unwanted content. YouTube I think is doing the same. But with every one deleted, [...]
