Suggestion for the Best Brand of LCD TV
Posted by mhel in general, technology on February 10th, 2010
Last night, I went LCD television hunting with some friends. It seem today, people already opt to buy LCDs instead of the then fad television with flat screens. LCD TVs are now cheaper and more affordable than some years ago where a small LCD will cost you around forty thousand pesos and up.
Today, at roughly twenty five thousand pesos, you can already get good looking 29 inches up LCD television for less than thirty thousand pesos. If you’re even luckier, handsome and sturdy tv stands may even be part of the promo which you may get for a discount or even for free. We got our flat screen TV bundled with television stand (not very stable but will do) and a discounted DVD player.
Of course, if you wanted branded LCD tvs, the price will be higher than that of unbranded televisions made in China, Taiwan or Korea. To help my friend decide which LCD television to buy, I’m soliciting suggestions on the good brand of LCDs which are a bit inexpensive than the known ones like Sony. Please provide suggestions by commenting below. Thanks!

Facebook is the Most Popular Social Networking Site for Pinoys
Posted by mhel in general, technology on February 5th, 2010
It’s only some years back that the number one social networking site in the US gained popularity in the Philippines toppling the then Pinoy’s favorite Friendster.
Facebook is now on its sixth year and with over 350 million users worldwide, 8 million of them are Filipinos. It is no doubt that Filipinos love Facebook’s interactive functionality of sharing thoughts, videos, photos, and everything else you can think of in a split of time.

Letter On Setting Up an Online Newsletter
Posted by mhel in blogging, general, technology on January 8th, 2010
Got this email from a Marikenya.com reader Rinzi of Las Pinas City
Mabuhay! I am a regular subscriber of Marikenya.com. And I await regularly your mails. I find the online newsletter interesting and informative.
I want to learn how to encode and design an online newsletter like Marikenya. Would you be able to teach me online or have a session or two with you at your office?
Do you use a special software for doing the newsletter?
I plan to put up regularly a similar newsletter for our prayer group in Las Pinas City for distribution in the Internet.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Thanks.
Rinzi of PDCC Holy Family Prayer Group, Las Pinas City
First of all, Rinzi, thank you for regularly vising Marikenya.com and for your subscription and for always taking time to write. Let me answer your questions one by one:
Q: How to encode and design an online newsletter like Marikenya?
A: What you are receiving from Marikenya.com whenever there are new articles are called feeds, in a way yes, it is already a newsletter but online newsletter may be different from that of feeds. I have designed an online newsletter in the past before for another reader who operated an online boutique and I used an MS office program called Microsoft Publisher. With the one you are receiving from Marikenya, it is called Feeds which is delivered via a third-party free online company called Feedburner.com which is now owned by Google.

The Wonders of Technology
Posted by mhel in business, general, technology on December 14th, 2009
Everyday, I am learning about the wonders of technology and I am both impressed and worried. Impressed in the sense that life is getting easier, comfortable, and exciting because of these electronics and worried because of the potential effects of our reliance on technology, not mentioning its effect on the environment.
There’s something new I learned about today which I would like to share with you all, especially those operating their own businesses. It is probably around for a long time now but since it’s a new thing for me, I am only discussing about it now. The technology allow businesses to receive check payment via phone, fax, or email. Very convenient right?

Increased Hacking Incidents Poses Need for Information Security Courses
Posted by mhel in blogging, general, technology on July 30th, 2009
Anywhere around the world, there are security bridges in technology — hacking incidents on servers, online banking accounts, websites, and blogsites. There are also a lot of online criminals (termed as scammers) lurking around the net waiting for the millions of internet users to trust them and soon as they do, they would rob them off their money and online investments. Surely, technology opened an opportunity for online crimes to be committed. Unfortunately too, policing and security is lacking in this area.
I can speak clearly of this as I have been recently victimized by a scammer which ran away scott-free with my money and my blog’s database. I tried investigating this bogus geek and found out a lot of information about him but after learning so much, the next question is — where can I go to ask help? Clearly, there are no cyber crimes law yet that would protect “small mediapreneurs” like me from scammers.

Effects of The Hosting Scam
Posted by mhel in blogging, general, technology on July 19th, 2009
It’s been almost a week now after I was scammed by a pretentious hosting company but I can’t still move forward easily. There’s so much to be done (because I almost lost everything), but I’m confused and too depressed to start somewhere.
I still can’t believe this all happened. I’ve worked so hard to establish marikenya.com and in a matter of seconds, my site’s gone from the blogosphere along with my money (the advance payment for a year-worth of hosting). It was all too… surreal.
I wanted to cry but even my tears won’t go down. I was too stunned to think and decide what to do next. It was only after a day I made my first move by seeking the help of a good friend Neil who helped me establish marikenya.com and who hosted my site for years. Thank God for his immediate action, I was able to put marikenya.com online again but my articles from later part of March to July are all gone and not retrievable anymore. The reality is way too depressing for me.

Marikenya.com is Back!
Posted by mhel in blogging, general, technology on July 14th, 2009
After almost tree (3) difficult days of downtime, www.MARIKENYA.com is up and running! The story about this downtime is a long one and once I’m done with the important things I need to put back to this site, I would give you a complete rundown of what transpired why this blog site was down for days and what miseries I experienced because of what happened.
In the meantime, I would like to give my sincerest gratitude to the following:
The cause for all this site’s miseries is our hosting service provided Eznet-hosting of www.eznet-hosting.com, which simply ran away with my sites’ databases and one-year advance hosting payment for my two blogs. This site just decided to abandon its subscribers just like that. I don’t know how we’ll ever get back to this hosting company but we will definitely not take this sitting down.
To all of this site’s subscribers, thank you for patiently waiting for the site to go up and please bear with me while I am trying to put back in order. I’ve lost four-month-long articles as a setback of this event but I wanted to always look at the bright side of things. So again, thank you for remaining an avid reader and subscriber of this blog.
Are You an Internet Quiz Addict?
A Look at the Internet Quiz Craze
Posted by mhel in blogging, general, seo, technology on October 27th, 2007
Are you addicted to internet quizzes? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. There are millions (or probably billions) of internet users around the world now who are hooked in taking internet quizzez which varies from rational and essentials to downright stupid tests. Exactly the reason why the likes of tickle and queendomare such a hit today.
I would admit however that i have taken some of these tests myself and even enjoyed reading the results. I really like the tests telling you your personality type and the kind of lover you are 
Why do people take these quizzes? Do they really believe that the results are accurate and the people who created these tests are indeed experts? A professor of mine remarked that internet is not a credible source of information if you are looking for the scholastic ones because the source of the info are not verifiable or not even written down.
