How to make technical presentations more interesting to non-technical audiences

During the PHP roadshows, I asked this a couple of times to myself. The audience are considered non-technicals so I have probably been too technical for their taste. I think it’s really a tough job and I admire great presenters because they make it look really easy. I googled this just earlier and I [...]

Business Models and the Social Media Revolution

I am not into music but this presentation is very clever in presenting how businesses should think at their business models. It’s not too hard to grasp. I thought to bookmark it but it will be like throwing a great idea in my closet so I’d like to share it here.

Another that catched my eye [...]

Tax for Freelancers in Philippines

blank ________ blank ________ blank ________
uhm., there is really nothing to say except that Freelancers in Philippines are exempted! Heard that correctly — we really don’t need to pay anything.

PHP Roadshow visits St. Paul QC

Another successful PHP Roadshow was held last August 1 in St. Paul QC. The usual gang are present which makes the roadshow more enjoyable. I discussed my usual stuff, my undying love for cakephp!

It’s quite an achievement for me because [...]

Understand the language (of business)

A business partner came to me yesterday excited to share his solutions in our current problem. It’s a rare scenario because he talked about leveraging! Before, I can hardly open up the idea of using others money or effort so we could grow the business. Not that he is closed to the idea but I [...]

I also have a lot of ideas throwing out to people around me. Few were approved, most weren’t. Some ideas that I think [...]

Summer at Puerto Galera

Before I forget about summer due to heavy rains this past few days, I finally found the urge to update my blog! Yay! Last April 4 - 5, my employer treated all its employees to an overnight stay in Puerto Galera. Luckily we are allowed to bring any number of friends or families so the [...]
