RFID and Philippine Motoring

RFID or Radio Frequency Identification, also called "smart labels", in it's simpliest definition, are tags or intelligent bar codes that can "talk" to a network system. It can give the relevant information or data incorporated on a particular product or object using radio waves. The difference between a bar code and RFID is its simultaneous communication and communication distance capability from the reader. An RFID tag contains at least two parts: First, the chip or integrated circuit that stores and processes information, modulates and demodulates the radio frequency (RF) signal, and other necessary functions; Second is an antenna that receives and transmits the signal into an RFID tag reader. At a basic level, each RFID tag works in the same way: * Data­ stored within an RFID tag's microchip waits to be read. * The tag's antenna receives electromagnetic energy from an RFID reader's antenna. * Using power from its internal battery or power

Pinoy Team Brought Home a Delphic Gold and Silver Medal

I was so happy upon hearing this news from my former Theater Director EV Espiritu who also joined the international event and bragged their puppet shadow play. I was one of his former subordinate in Tropang-Paltok back in College. I so regret though that I wasn't able to participate with them for this one-of-a kind event. Now it burns my heart to - once again, fine-tune my body and practice my Mime-acting skills, so that on the 4th Delphic games, I could join the competition and represent the artistic side of mimist from Philippines, honed in the City of Baguio. Extracted news from NowPublic.com by Art Tibaldo Jeju, Korea - It is far real from that of a typical *Kiangan joke. An Ifugao woodcarver won over a dozen of international artists who joined the III Delphic Games 2009 in Jeju - Sculpture category. Ernesto Dul-ang, a semi retired artisan who has spent time working for an American Base in Baguio City and has done great works for the Baguio Mountain Provinces Museum grabbe

Smallville - Season 9 Press Release

Press Release sourced out from DocStoc Soaring into its ninth season, this modern retelling of the Superman legend and its classic characters continues to blend realism, action and emotional depth to reveal a new interpretation of the enduring mythology. This season, as Metropolis’ clock tower tolls our characters’ darkest hour, we find Clark Kent (Tom Welling) finally making his first attempts to embrace his calling as a superhero.

This season will feature new and past nemeses, including Metallo (Brian Austin Green, “Terminator: Sarah Connor Chroni

To President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo

I woke up early this morning hearing the morning portion at Umagang Kayganda's Punto-por-Punto hosted by Anthony "Tunying" Taberna, with his interview with Ilocos Gov. Luis "Chavit" Singson about his alleged violence against her Wife Rachel "Che" Tiongson. Surprised of how Gov. Singson reacts and answers about some questions raised to him, I get to remember the videos I was watching from Youtube last night about Mikey Arroyo's interview with Winnie Monsod and GMA 7 news-journalist Arnold "Igan" Clavio, where he also reacted almost the same way as Gov.

And while trying to browse the search results, I stumbled upon this piece of composition titled "An Open Audio-Video Letter to Gloria Arroyo" . At first I thought it is some kind of recorded narrated speech of some people, addressed to the President. I was surprised though up
