Got the chance to visit CYBER BOOST 2010 event at SM Marikina last Friday with fellow blogger ZenkX. The event took place at the Cyber ZOne. The affair was not that big (took us 10 minutes to circle around) compared to similar events held internationally hehe. But its okay since the organizers claimed it was their first. Maybe nextime they’ll get bigger.

Anyway, we were welcome with lots of freebies at the entrance (pc mags, game cd’s, baller, etc..) and were astonished by the line up of computer rigs modified by pinoy techies, next are the different high-tech products from some sponsors like the electronic cigarette,  giant LCD’s and high-end video cards built for graphic savvy games, and lastly, the nice mini-exhibit of photos from The Nikon Bullies.

ZenkX was a bit disappointed for she actually missed the Cosplay and because she was actually craving to have a seat at the supposed Lan Games at the venue. Unfortunately, we couldn’t find both. (maybe its reserved for the next day, whattaheck) Overall, we enjoyed the event (kahit mejo bitin hehe)

Mimimalism:  The Art of Less
Let’s see the subject of our picture in a different way. Let’s try to take a picture of something with one main focal point with no background clutter and no distractions. Let’s concentrate on just one main subject. Minimalism is about “simplicity”, emptiness & nothingness. Less is more.

Thinking what would be my entry for the “Minimalism Photo Challenge” this afternoon, and since I got no time to shoot outdoor, I guess I have no choice but to shoot indoor hehe.

That’s when I found my subject inside the (under renovation) Men’s Room at our office.  It’s not one of Grohe faucets you can find at some 5 star hotels, but it served well as my photo subject.

As you can see the faucet is kinda awkward position, that’s true. Its because it shouldn’t be there in the first place. The plumber place it there to stop the water from flowing, while waiting for the brand new urinals to be installed.

Baseball is not only a game for some, but a phenomenon. For those baseball fans that need to be in the know at all times, these sites can come in handy. If you want to keep tuned into the latest MLB stats, these can give you that and so much more.

1. Baseball Reference : If you want the most up to the minute baseball stats, then this is the site for you. You can search old stats, new stats, or just keep up with what’s going on. What’s so great about this site is that you can even keep up with things in your favorite game in the off season. It’s really comprehensive and therefore a great site for the baseball lover.
2. Baseball Status 101 : The baseball lover is sure to adore this site! Not only can you get the most up to the minute stats, but you can break it down by format and type for easy organization. This comes in very handy if you happen to be in a fantasy baseball league or simply if you wish to keep track of all that goes on in the baseball world.
3. ESPN Go : As ESPN is a well known name within the sporting world, it only makes sense that they would be one of the best “go to” sources when it comes to baseball stats. They will keep you up to date and often add in a little extra here and there to help you and keep you entertained. Those who must know what’s going on with the baseball world need not look any further than this fantastic site.
4. Fan Graphs : If you’re looking for some commentary and stats all mixed together, then this is the site to go to. You can meet other baseball lovers just like you and chat about anything related to the game. You can take your love of baseball and your need of stats to a whole new level using this site and that’s why it’s such a popular spot for those in the know.
5. The Baseball Cube : What makes this such a popular site is the fact that you can find a little bit of everything. Find out about upcoming drafts, keep up with player information, and know who is doing what or going where. This takes statistics within the game of baseball to a whole new level, and therefore it’s a great one to keep tuned in to if you happen to be a lover of the all American game of baseball.

Though many of us enjoy a game of baseball here and there, some simply can’t live without it. If you happen to be one of those people who needs to know everything that’s going on within the game, then these sites can be quite useful.
