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.



Photos from the Game

Here are some of the photos that I took last night during the Clippers - Heat game at the Staples Center. I came home late so I wasn’t able to upload them right away. Please bear with the photos coz they’re not really that good. Most of the time, the subjects were moving and my camera doesn’t have much of a zoom.

Unfortunately for me, my digital camera was running low on batteries. You see, I recently lost my battery charger and I couldn’t recharge the batteries. So I couldn’t take as much photos as I want coz I was trying to save the battery ’til the end of the game.

We were sitting almost exactly behind the Miami Heat bench. My wife, who couldn’t go with us, watched the live telecast on tv. I called her and told her where we were seated. A few minutes later, she called and told me that she spotted us and I waved at the camera. Hehe. After that, we kept on waving at the camera everytime it was focused on that side of the court.

Btw, the other celebrities that we saw during the game were Michael Clarke Duncan and Anthony Anderson. I didn’t see if Billy Crystal was there or Frankie Nunez Jr.

After the game, I got to do high fives with Jason Williams and Gary Payton. The others were too busy thinking about their team’s loss. Clippers won 101 to 97. It was a close game at the last minutes of the game and we were hoping it would go to overtime. Lastly, I regret not wearing my red Clipper Nation shirt ‘coz the cameras featured fans who wear the home team colors and displayed them on the big screen.
