On Safari 4 Beta and Browsing.
I just recently downloaded the first beta of Safari 4 for Windows and consumed approximately 109MB of my almost-full disk space. The internet-freak that I am found this new browser - simply amazing.
Top Sites
Its new Top Sites feature displays your most visited porn sites, uhm I mean, websites or favorites. You can even set your favorite sites as a home page or even the page you’ll see everytime a new tab is created. Though we can see this feature in Google Chrome but what’s amazing here is – Safar4 displays them in 3D! You can even re-arrange the sites just like your amazing iPhone. If you’ll see blue star on your Top Sites, it actually means the site has been updated since the last time you browsed through it.
Cover Flow
The Cover Flow feature of Safari 4 lets flick through recent web pages as you do in your iTunes. Hurrah!
Full History Search
The Full History Search feature allows you to search for pages you’ve been to. Safari 4 digs into text of your browsing history, based on your typed word or phrase and presents you with a list of possible or related websites. With Safari 4’s Full Page Zoom feature you can Zoom in and Zoom out without really having to worry on page layout or quality distortions.
Though I don’t know if it’s faster than the rest of the browsers out there but I guess it’s kinda fast for my standards. Safari 4 supports HTML 5 which allows web applications to store information locally even without web connection – pretty cool huh!?
With Safari’s new unveiled features Mozilla and Microsoft would really need to step-up in this Browser’s War.

Detox: Dumanjug, Cebu

Getting away from the city’s stressful environment has been on my What To Do List for the past few weeks. And when a friend invited me and the whole gang for a weekend birthday trip I never had second thoughts and gave out a loud YES. In fact, I had to ditch a prior commitment just to take the trip and detoxify away from the city.
June 20, 2009; Saturday. It was almost 11:30am when the group met over at CitiLink for the trip to Dumanjug, Cebu – a 2 hour drive down South of Cebu City. We were 4 hours behind the original schedule – thanks to a few good friends. We took the V-Hire (Vehicle for Hire) and though most of us were tired, sleepy and hungry these were all forgotten by the raucous laughter over at everything we got to talk about.
DigitalFilipino Club Cebu City Fellowship Night 2009
Once again Janette Toral is cooking up another fellowship and networking event in Cebu City, where e-commerce indutry players and bloggers can catch-up on the latest issues and exchange views. This event is barely a year from last year’s similar event.
The DigitalFilipino.com Club event in Cebu City will be on July 11, Saturday, 6 to 11 in the evening at Teatro Casino, Waterfront Cebu City Hotel and Casino, 1st Salinas Drive, Lahug, Cebu City. This event is sponsored by PAGCOR, a DigitalFilipino.com Club Member.

Photos: Cebu Bloggers and Sen. Mar Roxas II
I am not a fan, seriously, of the Philippine Politics. In fact it has been, I guess, 2 elections that I have opted to surrender my right to suffrage. Now that I am back to blogging, I didn’t really expect that I’ll be looped-in into what most people call as “New Media Political Campaign.” Though it is true that New Media is another medium for any personality to promote their agenda but I haven’t really given so much thought in promoting one’s agenda through blogging.
It was Kevin Ray Chua, a blogger and a friend, who spearheaded the event for a brief meeting with Senator Mar Roxas II. Last June 11, 2009, 6PM, at the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, Asiatown IT Park the Cebu Bloggers were given a chance to meet, greet and ask questions to Senator Mar Roxas. There were several questions raised by some bloggers. Though I opted not to raise any question when Kevin solicited them prior to the meeting – I was already forming questions at the back of my head.
I was busy plurking the gist of Senator Roxas’ answers when Blogie replied to one of plurks asking us to ask questions and demand for concrete answers. I was ready to relay the question Blogie posted but it was too late, Senator Roxas’ New Media Personel already adjourned the meetup to give way to a Photo Ops with a local newspaper. The meeting with the Senator only took up less than an hour. Brief. -sigh-
Right after the senator left the Cebu Bloggers were camwhoring to each and every camera pointed their way. It was fun though. The night culminated over a dinner at KFC.
