Me and the Computer

Here is a list of some of the more Enjoyable Flash Games I played. 1. Hex Empire - This game seems to be inspired by RISK. You start out with one city. The object of the game is to conquer all cities until you are the only player left.  All players get as many reinforcement each turn depending on how many cities they currently hold. So try to capture as many cities early in the game.  Then you have to decide which city to strengthen when the other players begin to attack. 2. Epic War - Its about two opposing castles.  You build army depending upon the resource that you have.  The resource increase over time.  You win if you manage to destroy your opponents castle. 3. Castle Wars - You really have to use your wit on this one. This is actually a multiplayer card game.  You must beat your opponent defending on the cards that you have.  The one who manages to raise a 100 storey castle or destroy the opponents castle completely wins. 4. ...

Browser games are nice. They don't demand so much time unlike MMORPG. You can log in to your account anytime. And you won't be penalized too much for being away. Aside from that they don't require you to install any client. This means you can play them anywhere as long as you have a browser and an internet connection. Here are my favorite Free Online Browser Games 1. Ikariam is a strategy game where you start out with one city. As your economy grows you can expand your empire to multiple cities across different islands. You will need to build an army as well as navy so you can wage war against hostile players. You can also form and join alliances. 2. Ever wanted to know how it feels like to be a pirate? Well captain Jack Sparrow that is exactly what Seafight is about. You play as a pirate. You will have a ship and a set of crew. You will improve this two resources as your level increase. You can also upgrade your cannons as well as your ship. This is ...

Doing business has changed a lot since the advent of the Internet. For example, it used to be that you could hire a company to create a hype behind your brand, product, or service. But this is not true anymore. You can no longer dictate to the consumers how they will view what you offer. Because if one customer is not satisfied, he is going to blog about it and a lot of people will know. Another thing is that, we don't sell to a single neighborhood anymore. My store may be located in Manila. But that doesn't mean that I can't sell to someone located in Los Angeles, London, or Vancouver. Likewise we should keep in mind that our competition isn't also limited to local stores anymore. So how does one succeed in a world that offers so much opportunities and yet is also more competitive? Here are the most important books I believe could point the way to help us succeed in this 21st century. 1. The Long Tail:Why the Future of Business is Selling Less of More - by Ch...

Frankly, I don't have any idea myself. It's been so long since I have been on dialup. We are so used to opening multiple sites inside one browser. One tab would contain a streaming mp3 widget, while the other tab is playing an online video, while the other one loads an image sharing site, and then I'm downloading a few hundred megabytes of software, and then I'm browsing through a news site. But ever since typhoon Morakot and an earthquake in Japan knocked out some underwater fiber cables in the Asia Pacific region, we are officially back in the internet stone age ladies and gentlemen. It's a struggle to open just in one crappy text based website. Life sucks. lol. Let's hope Asia Pacific Telcos find a better technology to solve this. Because there is such a thing as the Pacific Ring of Fire remember. Earthquakes will happen in this region and will happen often. Back to the original topic. What can you do during these days when the internet is awfu...

It is important for all businesses to have a website. Yet I know a few companies who don't have one yet. A website will help your business be more visible and more accessible to customers. I have a few clients who were able to expand their company after they've put up a website. One is a small freight forwarding company. They used to occupy a single room near JP Rizal. They have recently moved to a more prestigious building near Ayala. And they are now renting one whole floor. I also know of an employment agency who have greatly expanded their business due to many additional clients who contacted them thru their website. It is also very helpful when customers searching for a product or service using a search engine, stumbles upon your website. Recently, I helped a client put up their own website. Should you have a need for chemical liquid transportation, you can check their website at www.isotank-excel.com.ph . Here is to hoping they gain more businesses whic...

I wish I could write you a proper tribute. But how do you find the words for all the good things you represent. Perhaps if I borrow other people's words it will be good enough. Somebody said you were God's gift to the Philippines. It was no less than Sister Lucia of Fatima . A lady said you made her part of history . A guy said that you were the conscience of our nation . He was a former Atheist. One of our countrymen explains the reason why you died on the first day of August . And personally, I don't think I can look at a yellow ribbon the same way again. It pays to be good. Honestly, I did forget. Evil men thrive for a while (just like the corrupt politicians in our midst). But in the end it pays to be good. The outpouring of love as your body pass by Ayala is a testament to that. And that's you. For me that is your legacy. Thank you.
