WordCamp Philippines

WordCamp Philippines

If you’re a Pinoy blogger or a WordPress user/fan then most likely you’ve heard or read of this already. But in case you haven’t, I have good news for you. There will be a WordCamp held in the Philippines this coming September 6, 2008. If you don’t know what I’m talking about here’s a little info.

What is WordCamp?

WordCamp is a conference type of event that focuses squarely on everything WordPress. Everyone from casual end users all the way up to core developers show up to these events. These events are usually highlighted by speeches or keynotes by various people. WordCamp is a spin off from the popular BarCamp which was a spin off of FooCamp. - Weblog Tools Collection

WordCamp Philippines will be the first ever WordCamp organized and held in Asia. WordCamp Philippines is being organized by a group of Filipino bloggers based in Mindanao who were also responsible for organizing the successful 1st Mindanao Bloggers Summit held last year.

What are the objectives of WordCamp Philippines?

…to encourage more developers to use and deploy WordPress, not only as a blogging engine but also as a full-featured content management system for Web sites. Another is to increase the number of WordPress users and developers in the country. By developers, we mean programmers of WordPress plugins and designers of themes & templates.

UPDATE: The 500XL iPod earbuds will be available soon for $39.99 at Perpetual Kid.

Check out this gigantic 500XL iPod earbuds from Fred&friends! It’s 500 times the size of an original iPod earbud.

Giant iPod Earbuds

This is a really ingenious idea. I’m sure this will be a hit especially with the apple fanboys and iPod lovers. If you can get your hands on these giant earbuds, you can use it for your iPod, other mp3 players or even as your desktop speakers. The 500XL iPod earbuds have a built in amplifier and 3-way power which lets you connect it to the PC’s USB port, generic power supply or with batteries. Unfortunately at this moment it’s not indicated how much it costs and where you can buy it.

Would you buy one of these?

    @Ade - Hehe cool! It’s gonna be available soon here in the US and I’m sure it won’t take long before someone sells it there in the Philippines. Make sure you post about it when you get your hands on it, ok? :D

    uhm, might want to rethink your math on this.
    500 times larger would mean a normal ear bud ~3/8″ (or ~1 cm in diameter) would be over 15 feet or (5 meters!) in diameter.

    i’m sure the name has nothing to do with the projected size relationship.

    it is a funny idea and they are big, just not as big as you claim.

    @jay - I suck at math! Hehe Thanks for pointing that out. Btw, I didn’t make that up myself, that’s what I read from the product page. :D

    @edward - Yup, those are very big earphones but they’re not supposed to be used as regular earphones but as desktop speakers. Hehe :D
