Filipina Supermodel’s Blog Post Makes Philippine Daily Inquirer
Congratulations to Filipina supermodel Anna Bayle on having her blog post on model eating habits featured in the Philippine Daily Inquirer. Thelma Sioson San Juan writes:
Cosmetic surgery, beauty and treatments are a multibillion-peso industry.
That’s why I found interesting what New York-based Anna Bayle wrote recently in her blog (check out Annabayle.com). Anna, acknowledged by newspapers and magazines the world over as the first and only Asian supermodel and one of the world’s top 10 models in the ’80’s, has returned to the fashion scene. She has a well-read website, does reporting for Lookonline and is packaging her own TV show.
She wrote, “Modelling is not a sickness, anorexia is.” She said that at her modeling peak, she was 110 lbs. (at 5 ft. 10), and worked to keep that weight because she had couture shows to do.
“Here’s that sexy number that every model will want to wear and there is nothing more unforgivable than you ripping the zipper accidentally when the women from the ateliers are dressing you. They have been working on the garment for 3 months and here you come, destroying their masterpiece.”

Blogging Kills FrontPage
I’ve been a Dreamweaver fan since the late ’90’s. Even today, I use it to tweak WordPress themes and plugins. No wonder it holds over 70% of the HTML editor market.
That’s why I do not mourn for Microsoft’s clunker of an HTML editor, FrontPage. This is what happens to a product with the arrogance to lock both client and server into expensive closed standards.
Microsoft FrontPage falls victim to blogging culture
It’s become obvious that FrontPage is going to be quietly dropped from the Beast of Redmond’s regular user orientated offerings – only to be replaced by professional design tools. Blogging sites are replacing personal Web sites for the average PC user.
Originally a classic part of Microsoft’s Office suite, FrontPage’s role will be taken care of by two new products – Expression Web and Sharepoint Designer. Both are blatantly aimed at “the professional Web designer” rather than ordinary PC users.
According to FrontPage’s own home page, “After nine years of being an award-winning (Mike: Yeah, right.) Web authoring tool, FrontPage will be discontinued in late 2006.”
My next bet for the Microsoft deadpool: Content Management Server. You can’t even blog on the damn thing.
