The Machines are Taking Over!

Well, we all knew that when the unemployment rates of the world started to decline post the industrial revolution, but then again, it was only a matter of time before science fiction slowly became a reality.

I mean, there was the moving sidewalk. Most mile-long airports have them these days. Bullet-speed locomotion. Flight and interstellar travel. In-vitro fertilization.

And now, this:

Let me present to you the vendo pizza maker

Sounds nutty, but it's the real thing. And the most impressive part is, it doesn't just store cold pizzas and defrost them - these things make pizzas from scratch. And they cost less than your traditionally baked pizza, too.

Imagine having one of those in the office. You can pool some cash with friends, and you won't ever have to worry about where the hell you'll end up eating - ever! And think about the parties you can host in-house. Just slap on a little videoke or an Xbox or PS3, and you've got game. So to speak.

Oh yeah, the pizza vendo might be one step further into the slow decline of humanity into infantile helplessness, but damn I would love to have one of those nearby.

Still think I'm shitting you? Read the full story here.

Maynilad Water Chronicles: The Clusterf$%#, Part 2

This is the third post in our Maynilad Water chronicles. This time, we will talk about just how inept their record keeping skills are in the face of a massive overhaul in a given area. This involves a technique used by Meralco in high-risk areas called clustering, and is efficient – if utilized correctly. Needless to say, Maynilad has yet to be able to do this.

i Maraming beses na kitang nilayasan Iniwanan at iba ang pinuntahan Parang babaeng mahirap talagang malimutan Ikaw lamang ang aking laging binabalikan Manila, Manila I keep coming back to Manila Simply no place like Manila Manila, I'm coming home I walked the streets of San Francisco I've tried the rides in Disneyland Dated a million girls in Sydney Somehow I feel like I don't belong Hinahanap-hanap kita Manila Ang ingay mong kay sarap sa tenga Mga Jeepney mong nagliliparan Mga babae mong naggagandahan Take me back in your arms Manila And promise me you'll never let go Promise me you'll never let go Manila, Manila Miss you like hell, Manila No place in the world like Manila I'm coming here to stay ii. Too, uh, cheesy to mention. Check the lyrics here . iii. I've been drunk or inebriated every day of this week since Saturday last week; since I'm holding an inuman party

Manila Series: Parks of Manila

The other day, I read the post of a friend who was ranting about how Manila can only be beautiful when seen from a specific light. I could understand what he means, because Manila is the center of traffic in the NCR. The poor are here in full force, the most corrupt policemen are here, and honestly, there is no discipline whatsoever. But here’s something that I’ve discovered. You walk Manila. You don't drive it. It isn't the most walkable city in the world, but what can be seen when you do walk it is fantastic. And when you walk around the city, you don’t encounter the corrupt cops (because they’re going after the drivers), you don’t deal with traffic. You can’t do anything about the poor, though. Unless they’re doing something productive, and not just begging, I avoid them. If they’re cleaning up trash, or something similar, then I give them cash.
