Geek Graffiti Conversation

Geek Pride WTF

A while back, I featured some geek graffiti along Katipunan Avenue, a street running along the Philippines’ top two universities. True to the the nature of social media, that grafitti became conversational — with a chat abbreviation to boot. WTF?

Happy Birthday Janette Toral!

As chief proponent of the Electronic Commerce Act of 2000 and founder of the Philippine Internet Commerce Society, she is among the pioneers of Filipino personal online media. Towards the end of the 20th century, she pulled me out of a plucky little university seminar and plunged me into the thick of the Internet industry. If it weren’t for her, you might not be reading my blog today.

Happy birthday to my discoverer and mentor, the Digital Filipino, Janette Toral.
