Hello?

PGMA finally admits that she's the voice in the infamous wiretapped telephone conversation with an elections official. I guess that's for the better. I hope people would now focus on rebuilding from the mess that stemmed from the issue.

It seems that the "hello garci" cellphone ringtones are popular back home...

Original paper on Google

It is amazing how far Google have gone starting from this 1998 school paper of Sergey Brin and Lawrence Page. The paper is entitled 'the anatomy of large-scale hypertextual web search engine'. It is interesting to know the basic ideas used to implement the original version of Google.

Mathomatic

While installing cygwin in my laptop, I noticed one computer algebra system included in the installation package -- it is called mathomatic. I was curious and googled the term 'mathomatic'. I found the webpage of this computer aided algebra system (here). It seems that the author, George J. Gesslein II, of New York is actively developing this program since 1987! The most recent update to this system is just three days ago.

I tried doing some algebra and calculus stuff with it and I find it easy to use.

Cal Sobrepeña

Cal Sobrepeña is one my favorite illustrators in komiks --I love his clean illustrations in Funny komiks! He also illustrated for Aliwan, Silangan, and Lovelife komiks. I didn't know he already passed away last year.

I found this website dedicated to him.
