One of my favorite business authors and blogger, Seth Godin had a cool and short post about meetings.
Seth says that we should skip a meeting a day for two weeks and see what happens.
Come to think about it, I have around 2 to 4 meetings a day on the average. Only when I’m done can I get back to doing work and reading my mail. I’m not saying that meetings should’t be done. Let’s just pick out the really important ones and keep it short.
Perhaps this ad might open your eyes…
Gotta end this post now. I have to rush - to a meeting. Lol.

Alright, quick! Tell me, without going through google or opening a new tab, 5 other websites that are LIKE youtube.com?
Hard? For some, perhaps.
But if you think youtube is the only one out there (obviously it’s not), think again.
There are other (lesser known) websites that offer video uploads, streaming and services. One of the more ambitious projects yet is Yahoo’s Live (I kinda like the name. *snicker*) which offers live streaming of videos in your own channel. Kinda like youtube on steroids. That service is currently on beta.
Anyways, I’ve come up with a short list of other video-sharing websites for you to try. Who knows? You might find other, funny and scandalous videos out there.
That list after the jump.

Last Thursday and Friday (May 8 and 9), the entire crew of Level Up went to our yearly summer outing at the Blue Coral beach resort in San Juan, Batangas.
It was a chance for us to unwind, take a break and NOT talk about work for at least 2 days. Everyone had a blast. The resort and the beach was great, the food was fantastic and the activities were… wild!
Thanks to the great efforts of the organizing committee led by our HR team (headed by our new senior HR manager, Joyce), the outing was a memorable and fun one. Yes, if success is defined by downing a LOT of beer kegs before midnight, then that’s one for the record books.

Here’s some sort of an informal poll.
For your online gaming needs (and if you could only pick one), would you rather have
- A faster broadband connection OR
- A faster (ergo, more expensive) video card?
Let’s jot down some of the obvious pros and cons for each…
Faster Broadband
- Your game won’t lag (obviously)
- You get to do a lot in less time
- You can multi-task… open Yahoo Messenger or Youtube at the same time (well, that’s extreme… but you can) while playing
- Use teamspeak

I think I read it somewhere or overheard it a few days back…
They say that one close analogy to MMORPGs is a Barbie doll. Why? Come to think about it. 99% of us play online RPGs to “dress up” our characters. Isn’t that what collecting Barbies and clothes, accessories, etc. all about?
Is it a guy’s Barbie? Could be… I mean, we all started out as noobs, novices (call ‘em what you will) with mediocre chracters. After a few dozen quests, you finally find something nice for your character to wear, eh?

Tonight I’ll be heading over at NU107 for an interview about gaming.
It’s on Rock Ed Radio. The show airs every Sunday at 8pm. Some of my friends from Playground Magazine will also be on the show.
I’ll be joining Gang Badoy and Lourd De Veyra (of Radioactive Sago) for some discussions about gaming in the Philippine scene. Gang is also the founder of Rock Ed Philippines. Call it as the youth’s alternative “social studies” where they tackle anything relavant to youth and today’s society.

This is one simple, yet addicting game for the PSP.
Patapon is a rhythm game. You play a diety and command an army of tribal warriors which you control via beating traditional talking drums. You have to really “get into the beat” so that they can attack or move. The game was developed by Pyramid and produced by Japan Studios, the same studio that developed and produced Loco Roco.
I simply LOVE this game. Most people in the office are addicted. It received a lot of good publicity and reviews.
Now, you CAN play this game without a PSP… there’s an online flash version.
The link to that after one more click…

We all know that Crysis topped a lot of charts. In fact, it can crush your PC rig to its limits just by the sheer video and hardware requirements of the game.Â
Now, execs over at Crytek said that Crysis is THE most pirated game.
“We are suffering currently from the huge piracy that is encompassing Crysis. We seem to lead the charts in piracy by a large margin, a chart leading that is not desirable.” said Crytek president Cevat Yerli.

Whoa! Talk about full support.
Grand Theft Auto 4, which a lot claim is the perfect game recently released a full map of Liberty City powered by Google and hosted on IGN
With the tools, you can place markers and see other markers left by other players. Plus, you can filter through places of interest such as restaurants, bars, shopping centers, missions and view multi-player spots.
Cool? Super!

Don’t be alarmed.
Before you ask “what have they been smokin’?”. The RF team has decided to delete guilds which have 8 members or less and/or have been inactive. The characters WILL NOT be deleted. Just the guild.
And yes, this is due to insistent requests from the community via the RF Forums.
Click HERE to view the complete list of guilds scheduled for deletion per server. Deletion was done yesterday, May 6.
Ciao!
